Batman: The Ultimate Escape [NL]

[Raymond333]

Batman: The Ultimate Escape is a B&M stand-up coaster that was made to be the tallest, fastest, longest and most inversion stand-up coaster. It has a loop, a dive loop, a zero-g roll, a cobra roll, an inclined loop, and interlocking corkscrews. Any suggestions welcome. EDIT: Nov. 7, 2010 more screenshots added.

Any suggestions welcome?

 

Okay...

 

Shorten the station, put 7 or 8 cars on the train, make a gradual incline to the lift, make the second section of the lift completely straight, and make the peak of the lift more gradual.

 

Smooth your track. EVERYWHERE, except for the second lift section, station, and brake runs, because those should be completely straight. There are lots of bumps and bruises along the track.

 

Check your clearances. The turn behind the loop is the worst - if anyone even tried to put their hands up they would get them cut off.

 

You've got too many sections of straight track. it makes the second half of the layout exceptionally boring.

 

Use the "make straight" tool for the brake runs, and, like I said before, the second section of the lift.

 

Take the extra time to make your supports realistic. Some of the sections don't even have supports at all!

 

I think I'm done.

 

Keep trying...

I know it has a few bumps. I kind of studied B&M's supports and I did hand build this. This is also my first uploaded track. I tried a few times to use newton, but not for this. Newton is hard for me to use.

I understand Newton's initial difficulty to grasp. I've been hand-building for years, and still do on occasion.

 

A "few" bumps? I can tell where 90% of the nodes are while riding the track - there are bumps in those places!

 

You need to test, retest, and test your coaster again before you even consider uploading it. You need to make sure that the entire ride is smoothed out save for the segments that are intentionally straight.

 

Practice, practice, practice.
