Iron Rattler [RCT3]

[daniellazarus]

I made this after riding the Iron Rattler 78 times this summer. Here is a video of the simulation using track pieces available in RCT3:

This was my first attempt at the Iron Rattler. Later in this thread you can see my final version using extended track.

Not quite Iron Rattler but its good to see someone attempt an RMC coaster using RCT3.

Your thread needs more content.

 

Also, I don't care how many times you've ridden Iron Rattler - I've ridden it exactly zero times and yet I can see that you screwed up the layout. The airtime hill that goes from the top of the cliff into the quarry tunnel crosses over the first drop. They way you did it, well, it makes it look like you rushed to finish it so you could post it here.

I am trying another kind of track besides the one above that will be more accurate, but not exact as the game does not have enough variety of track pieces to make it perfect. I have finished the track with the extended coaster track but still need to add the wood supports which will take a while as each piece must be done separately. Here is how it looks now without the wood supports and station.

Se part of the layout on that should be on top of the cliff is much too large. Hopefully this will help you

Also for the inversion I'd recommend using the 30 degree barrel roll rather than the flat one.

[A.J.]

You also don't have to use the big overbank sections. You can roll the track to 90 degrees on a straight section of track.

When using the extended coaster track, you can also use the built in zero g roll track pieces.

You can also do a 45 degree left turn drop after the lift, then do a straight drop, then at the bottom of the drop, start turning 90 degrees to the right and then 45 degrees to the left and then do the hill to the high banked turn a little higher and the curve a little shorter and complete the rest of the ride and replicate the photo Zem posted.

Here is my revised Iron Rattler. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions especially the zero g roll piece. Here is the video of the ride simulation:

Once again, don't use the overbanks for the section on top of the cliff. They are much too large and don't look right. Also use the 30 degree barrel roll rather than the 60 degree one. That will make it look much nicer.

I think you may be wasting your time. Roller coaster tycoon 3 is too limited.
