[NL] Calamity

[bigdog]

After many unsuccessful attempts at a terrain woodie, I finally built one that I'm satisfied with! Calamity uses the terrain from the Banshee track included in NL v1.6 (I was too lazy to create my own landscape so I reused another) to create a wild ride with excellent pacing. It incorporates features that I feel make a great woodie, including an S-shape first drop (similar to Renegade's), an 80 degree banked turn, and an out-and-back layout more similar to that of Prowler.

Stats:

Max Height- 90 ft

First Drop- 95 ft

Max Speed- 52 mph

Total Change in Elevation- 110 feet

5 airtime hills

 

I also apologize for not posting screenshots! Couldnt figure out how to reduce the pic size

Superb ride. Probably the best GCI NL coaster I've seen in ages.

 

The good

-Very smooth

-True to the GCI style

-Awesome Pacing

-Super fun

 

The not-so-good

-Quite short for my liking

-Un-realistic and ugly colours (try and look at other woodies to see how their coloured)

 

My verdict

Everything you could ask for from a GCI.

By the way, you can reduce the file size by opening the screenshots in Paint and saving them as JPEG files

From what dr.gumbo said it sounds like something I would love to ride in real life. But no NL so sorry, about no critiques.

Did I ride the same coaster as Gumbo?

 

While the coaster had great pacing and a fun layout, I noticed tons of pumps, and the layout/airtime was a bit intense for a GCI...

 

I see lots of potential, but maybe for your next coaster try using smaller track segments, and (regarding GCI's) widen your hills so that the airtime isn't as strong, but sustained a bit longer.

Yeah i agree with DBru, it seemed like you didnt use the smoother on some sections of track , which is vital for creating GCI or GG woodies.

 

But decent layout and decent pacing, well done!

Awesome ride that just needs a little smoothing out. 8/10

[AlmereStars]

+ nice pace

+ Pretty smooth, has some bumps. Most of them just before a big turn

+ Sticks to the terrain more then 50% of the time (not always the case when people say it's a terrain coaster)

++ First Drop

 

- Weird looking colour (too yellow for wood)

- Some too sharp turns

 

overall pretty good! 8/10
