[NL] Sterling- The Ride

[davisal771]

So I'm back with another coaster, this one my personal favorite. Its an Intamin Stand-up made in the late 80's. It is the only stand-up coaster made with an Immelmann loop. It stands tall at 154 feet, reaches a speed of 61 MPH, but is on the short side at a track length of just 2250 feet. It has a maximum positive G force of +3.7, and a negative of -0.4. Its highest lateral G is 1.2.

I'm planning on making roller coasters named after all of my friends (for whatever reason this seemed like a fun idea) so that is where the name came from. The supports are all custom and are made based on other Stand-ups.

Without further adieu, here are some pics, and a track download.

Tasty first drop

Big A$$ loop

Nice little Immelmann to spice things up

Great coaster! Although Intamin hasn't really made any stand-ups since B&M left.

 

Also, I wouldn't really worry about the pre-drop. It's about on par with the one on Apollo's Chariot.

Is this ride worth a 5.33? That's what I got on NoLimits-Exchange...

Only one person left a review, so don't worry. If 4 or more give it about the same score then it's probably best to go by them and the more that review makes the score that much more accurate.

You have to remember that a 5 is average so they were being generous by saying above 5. I do not in any way mean to hurt your feelings.

^ I don't get is that my last coaster I put up got a 7.33 and it is no where near as good as this one (IMO) then again, only 1 person rated each of my coasters
