BiCoastal Kid Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 You had the basics but a few things were missing or incorrect. -There's a rather lengthy straight section before the lift where the transfer track is. -There's a short straight section right before the drop after the turn over the station, I believe. -Your helix was missing the little dip in the middle. -The second drop doesn't go down that far. Other than that, mostly there were just shaping problems and jerks throught the track. But overall it wasn't a bad recreation and had the general layout there.

coasterlover420 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 ^I definitely agree. Recreations are really hard, Expecially in NL, and this was a pretty good attempt! Aside from that I noticed... 1. The station drop goes straight a little bit before it bottoms out. That might put enough room to put in the brake run before the lift as BiCoastal Kid stated. 2. ^And I think it is supposed to be a MCBR after the turnaround over the station and lift. 3. I am going to stress the shaping problems in this one because the hills looked like they were lethal -G's. (I didn't use the sim. I used the editor to watch it, but I could guess that it would be painful.) Great recreation and I look forward to seeing Twister! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 ^Yes, that drop goes straight a bit, but proportions are pretty good. The thing is that Ghosty has a steep lift and it starts basically right before the station, and much more suddenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 ^That is very true. Oh, and the final brake run is slanted a bit so there aren't wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'm not so sure it's so much of a mid course as it is a trim. I've never seen a train stopped there, but I could be wrong. It's not like they dispatch trains fast enough to need it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well, considering the painful airtime I noticed, it might need it, even if it is just a trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 No, Ghosty is just poorly maintained. I remember riding it the summer after it opened and it was AMAZING> the air was string, but in no way painful. It was just so much fun. The last time I rode it was 2 or three years ago, and it really has taken a turn for the worse. From what I hear, it's gotten even worse so if that was your first ride then it may have been painful, but honestly, I always loved getting slammed into my restraint on that drop. R.I.P. Good ghostrider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 ^No, I meant the NL track! lol And yes, my first time was this summer. It still has that kick to it and it is now my fav. wooden coaster of all time! I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiCoastal Kid Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 ^Oh man, if you'd ridden it before, Id say, 02?, it would be engraved into your top 5 no matter what else you rode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
