Nice coaster, definitely see the Voyage influence. Yours looks like a lot more fun though.

Wooooow, this is by far the best i have seen for nolimits.

I really dont have anything negative to say about this.

[BelgianGuy]

Very good coaster and great pacing but sometimes a little bit overbanking IMO

[GeorgeT]

I´m VERY impressed by that...so please start building it immediately !

Wow...I sure hope the TGG guys read this forum.

 

Great work! Was this hand or tool built?

[DiSab]

Wow, that was awesome. The only thing I could potentially knock is that the transition into the first 90* turn was a little awkward. Besides that, wow. This was fantastic. Great work.

PAcing is crazy, but also leads to some serious problems if you want it compared to a TGG.

 

First, G Forces are too strong. Bottom of the first drop you hit 4.5 - MF hits 4.5. Youd break the track down so fast it would be jackhammering by mid summer. Just not realistic. Id say 3.8 is tops for a ride like this. Intamin woodies can go much higher but its not a true woodie and the way the wood is cut it can withstand a lot more pressure.

 

Negative G's are a little high in a few spots. I try not to exceed -0.9 on a wooden coaster like this. Again, compared to an Intamin which Im sure can pull -1.3 to -1.4 easily (which is due to trains mostly) the G's are just too intense. LAterally things looked ok.

 

The positives were really WAY too high in a few of the turns. One, part of the first turn around you hold the G's from 3.5 to 4.5 for nearly 2 or 3 seconds, banked. While it could be built, it would be destroyed quicker than the first drop, without question. Voyage just doesnt pull that many positive G's. Even its negatives arent high by number but because they switch from positive to negative so far, it feels more intense than it is.

 

 

The overall trackwork is hand built and is great for handbuilt. However, its not really close at all to a TGG. But by itself, very smooth and very well built.

 

 

My other main concern is the use of the MCB. You used it what felt like 4/5ths of the ride through. The first half is really, really long and after the MCB its like maybe 1000ft of track then done. See, theres a bit of a formula for this. You should take the length of track from the drop to the brakes or where you estimate you want them to be. If thats say, 3000ft. Put the MCB at around 2000ft. I try to use a 2/3rds rule. It works out well and seems to be right about where most real coasters utilize a block brake to add another train.

 

You needed to hit that block brake at least before you crossed over the drop.

 

 

Iron those issues out and youve got a true winner. As it stands for what it is, its still a good ride and a solid design.
