the ghost Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I created an NL coaster over the last few days, and decided to try and work on an inspiration. I was thinking about a coaster with a "fun" layout that looks cool.This is El Matador, the coasters features quite a few similarities to El Torro. There are the 3 airtime hills like the most unique element on El Torro, which is unheard of on a GCI. The coaster also features an ending that is original, but still inspired by ET's airtime. Pictures will be uploaded tomorrow night(camera phone pictures, so kind of bad quality) El Matador.nltrack Have an awesome ride
Thelegendarymatthew Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 The Good -I liked the teraforming -The first drop The Bad -The supports, you tend to terraform after doing the auto supports, try to terraform first. -The lats on this thing are insane, did you even ride this? -The Layout kinda felt boring for the company it is in, however it felt like prowler -The trains, too short -It was rough at some points. Overall -I really don't want to say a lot of "bad", but somebody is probably going to say the same exact thing. Raiting - 5/10 Oh yeah, If you want I'll post some pictures, and a video.^-^
the ghost Posted June 29, 2009 Author Posted June 29, 2009 Comment from a TR to ride El Torr CP_RULES I highly doubt that turn on El Toro will be retracked due to low banking and high laterals, GCIs may look highly banked but they definitely have a fair share of laterals. Evel Knievel has the some of the highest lats of any coaster I've ever ridden! I did that on purpose. I'll find a youtube pov a little later, but I'm tired now.
DBru Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Evel Knievel doesn't have 4.7 lats...that spike, as well as the -1.9 vertical spike are most likely lethal. You did good this time with the brake-runs and station; they were all straight and slanted downward so that kicker wheels aren't needed. Next time, though, make sure the lift hill is straight as well, work on the forces, and try to get rid of the major pumps. Good luck!
