Unbound-Intamin Prefab (No Limits)

[sixflagsjunkie88]

Just a project that I thought I would share, its an Intamin Prefab woodie. It is named after an Avenged Sevenfold song, Unbound (The Wild Ride). I have been playing No Limits for a while now so I thought it was time to show some of my progress.

Height: 168 feet

Drop: 158 feet

Speed: 67 mph

Features: 3 90 degree turns.

3 trains 7 cars each. Silver Gold and Black

 

 

Comments/Criticism GREATLY appreciated

Wow I kinda enjoyed that!

The Good:

1.Very Awsome layout

2.Nice speed all the way

3.Awsome 90 degree turns

The Bad:

1.Lift wasn't streight

2.Friction wheels on a wooden coasters is a no no...

3.Some bad transitions.

I really liked it! Just smooth out some bumps here and there and it would be a great ride! Keep it up!

My Verdict: 7/10

Intamin prefabs actually DO use friction wheels to transport the trains...

^^ Intamin prefabs tend to have more in common with steel coasters than woodies, this includes the presence of friction wheels, cable lifts, polyurethane wheels, etc.

 

Now on to my rating:

 

I give this a 5/10.

 

Now before you all go ballistic and start crying "underrate!", let me give you my reasons for this.

 

Good:

-Nice original layout.

-Plenty of airtime!

 

Bad:

-Track is ridiculously pumpy!

-Lift hill is not straight!

-The train collides with itself on at least one occasion.

-Banking is off.

-Intamin prefabs do not have a steel support structure! (as far as I'm aware)

 

Other comments:

 

-If your going to build an accurate Intamin prefab, I suggest you at least use the AHG to heartline it, since real prefabs are heartlined, and it will fix that banking issue I mentioned.

 

Overall, a great concept, it's just the trackwork that's the problem. Try to improve that in the future.

I like the constructive criticism, it helps me out a lot. I have been trying my best to work out all the kinks in wooden coasters, my predominant coaster style, so it helps, so thanks.
