DBru Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ghost Train is my latest NL coaster. This is an attempt at an all-wooden TGG, which mixes a bit of the old and new styles of wooden coasters. The ride follows the theme of: An old country train follows the course of Dead Man's River, a deep, cloudy body of water set away from the rest of the world. But when the train makes an attempt to cross over the river, all h#ll breaks loose as the Dead Man himself arises to take his revenge, and carries you on one of the wildest rides of your life! Ghost Train is mostly hand-built. AHG was used after the MCBR, to bring in that 'new style' of woodie. Please download, enjoy, and COMMENT! Ghost Train.nltrack Enjoy! Better view of the layout.

thrillrideseeker Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Oh my! That was amazing! I loved the length of the ride, it was well worth riding! The only things I really noticed were... - Try to slow the acc g's on the lift hill because when it is E-stoped it goes from 0-7mph in like 2 seconds. Try lowering the acc g's to 0.1 - The train gets stuck on between the last break run, and the station when the ride is e-stoped. Other than those two things your coaster was amazingly wonderful! Great job I would give it a 9/10!! ~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That coaster was nearly flawless. The only problem I had with the ride was right before the MCBR, I got a face full of tree. The air was great, it reminded me a lot of Ghosrider in its glory days. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 DBru, this truly is a spectacular piece of coaster you have. I enjoyed all the massively banked turns and the flow from one to the next, it carried it speed well for the most part too which added to its appeal. Besides the flow and the turns of the ride, I really liked the floater hills. The one thing this ride missed I thought was the supports on the banked turns, when it was almost sideways the tracked just looked goofy the way it was, but I know you cant fix that so I wont hold it against you. Great ride, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wow, 3 downloads, 3 comments...is that a record? lol In all seriousness, thank you all so much for the comments! I only tested the e-stop from the MCBR to the station...forgot about the lift. And the reason I wasn't worried about the e-stop from FBR to the station was because when I tested the ride, the first train made it all the way back to the station. Since there are 3 trains, obviously one of the trains made it from the FBR (at a standstill) back to the station. Do you understand what I'm saying? But anyway, thanks again, and all other feedback is welcome and appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 This ride was PERFECT! I had no problems with it at all! Forces were EXCELLENT and the pacing was FANTASTIC! I would have to say that my favorite part of this coaster was the transitional flows between the over-banks... This ride is amazing... 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlmereStars Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Wow, 3 downloads, 3 comments...is that a record? lol In all seriousness, thank you all so much for the comments!.. Good stuff always get more comments, and this was pretty good!! I really liked it until the mid-break section. Then it got all turning and stuff, and thats not really my thing. But thats personall. The coaster it self is really smooth. I didn't find any red g's (which I don't care about anyway). The only thing I can think off right now is that the first few hills are kind of stretched out and could have been a little more compact to generate more airtime. But other then that it was great!

dr.gumbo Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Again, you've out-done your previous efforts with this ride. The good -Smooth as a knife through butter. -Nice combination of elements and layout. -Very fun. -Nice pacing. -Great idea by installing roofs on certain sections. The not so good -It doesn't really do anything out-of-the-ordinary in terms of elements and layout. My Verdict Another solid ride from you, it just lacks that extra push to make it to make it memorable. Other than that, good job! 8/10 (verging on 9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeddeamon128 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This woodie looks awesome & I wish it was being built for real great job! Were you inspired by Ravine Flyer II for the over the river element? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 ^Nope, it was just my original idea... Well, I thought it was original, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
