Mongoose is a ride I put together a last year after looking at pictures from IAAPA and saw the GG model of a launching woodie.
I found the file and I decided to upload it. There is some lateral bracing done, but not nearly as much it should have, on my laptop I just simple cannot do it, because of the lag. You all know how that is. So yeah ride and enjoy, and if you're up to it drop a rate or comment.
T: The track was nice and all the bits that should have been straight were straight. It would have been nice to see some lateral bracing and extra bracing on the cross overs. Also the track had some noticeable pumps in the roll, the rest of the ride was fine, g's in check and not too high. Finally it passed both the tunnel and e-stop tests.
A: The launch was nice as well as the reverse spike. The ride had a nice fast pace and some good airtime, which was accentuated near the rear spike by the roof over the track. The turns had nice lats and the ride also had some good positives.
O: The idea was really cool and original. The layout seemed like something that GG would actually make but was also fairly original, my only admonishment is the use of Millennium Flyers rather than the standard GG PTC rolling stock.
Nice idea overall but the coaster is smooth in only one direction. this is pretty darn original.
T:
+ hills are pretty straight i guess
+ The bunny hops are well made
-most of the helix was pretty bumpy and pumpy, that wouldve killed me especially since we're going backwards here.
-not much custom supporting that i see
-launch is not straight, that might break ome necks especially since this is woodie and shuttle.
-track is smooth only one way.
A:
+ lots of it since shuttles rock
+ lots of airtime
+ weaving backwards
O:
+ the tech difficulties added to the woodie-like feel
+SHUTTLE WOODIE
+LAUNCH WOODIE
overall pretty bumpy coaster with some nice airtime and hills
I liked your idea, but your track was painfully rough especially going thgough the back of the station. I think this is considered pretty origional, which is why I gave you highest in that category. I think it would be fun but the pumps would ruin any fun I would have on it, small pumps are good for adrenaline (on woodies), big pumps are not.
