This may be a day late and a dollar short, but I just noticed that first drop from the lift. Now, this is just the way that I would have made it. I would of had a steep drop, then go into the curve, which would lead into the virtical loop. Which is kind of a reverse track configuration than what you have here. As far as I know, the track wouldn't have to be modified too much. It would probably still fit in the same area, although the supports would have to be changed around a bit.

The reason is that, when a track goes from a drop, into a steeper drop, it doesn't look that great. Same thing when a hill changes it's slope half-way through. Just looks a bit strange. Wish I noticed that earlier.

^meh, it isn't realistic at all the way you would make the drop. Plus, you would feel more lateral forces since the train would go faster...

See, it turns before the drop

Thats exactly NOT what I was talking about.

In the images that you linked to, do you see that the hill changes pitch to a steeper angle after the curve? Or does the track kind of level out before the loop? The train's are moving at a fairly good speed when it hits a steeper drop. That's going to force the peeps into the shoulder restraints, giving them a big jolt to the top of their shoulders.

The original track configuration is in red, and a suggested change is in white.

It's hard to show you without adding a screen shot... I'll be happy to remove this image upon request.

I think the red one is better. You don't see that much of the white one in parks.

[adamcolvin]

I do you see what you're saying Wolfman, but it looks awful for RCT2 and I think everyone would prefer the red one.

Whatever. It was just a suggestion.

[adamcolvin]

I know^ and I appreciate it, but this, I do not like.

[Wolfman]

Would you like me to remove the image? Nobody seems to like it.
