Inspired by the legendary Beast at KI, -Wildebeest- is an intense terrain woodie located in the Rosevalley. The 1.2 miles of track features 4 underground tunnels and 5 insane airtime hills and an intimidating TRIPLE down first drop.
Hope you enjoy it, and please drop a rate if you do.
I really like this kind of wooden running on hills! This was well made, for the most part is smooth there are only few point where the track banked outward the curve and that could be uncomfortable (maybe was on purpose) Long and fast coaster, it has good adrenaline but not many headchopper with itself or the environment I think they could have add more thrill! The layout was interesting ,just not particularly original! The track is realistically built but the scenery need some work realism-wise. I see this your first track since 2007! Is good that you are back on track, keep create!
I had a good time riding this. One of the trains was backwards on the transfer track, not sure what was wrong with that. A lot of the turns could have banked differently, but I guess the lateral g's would be fun. I would be the first in line to ride this.
I personally quite liked it. The layout was completely hidden from the station, which really helped with the concept. The RORO transfer was creative, too; allowing for trains to be added/removed without kicker wheels is quite smart. I do wish the transfer was covered, though... Rain might damage those nice new Timberliners.
As for the ride experience: It felt much like the Beast, but good. Beast is fast and feels out-of-control, but doesn't have much airtime. This had good air. I didn't notice any major pumping, which is good. I can't exactly comment on build feasibility, as it feels like a fantasy coaster rather than a realistic one. Nonetheless, great work!
I can't really give a numeric rating because I don't feel like I am competent enough.
Technique Trackwork - Trackwork was good - seemed well made throughout and I don't really have any complaints about bumps / pumps.
Supports - Track definitely needed some lateral bracing here and there - especially on the more heavily banked turn.
Scenery - Terraforming and shrubbery-wise this was fantastic! The ride could've done with some other scenery however - I'd have loved to see some interesting tunnels and stuff like that!
Adrenaline Pacing - I thought this ride was paced really well - felt interesting from start to finish and the proximity to the ground was good also.
Layout - The layout was good however I grew a bit tired of the adverse camber hills which seemed way too frequent.
Forces - Forces were in check and displayed a good variety.
Uniqueness Layout / Elements - I thought the layout was unique, it had lots of different ideas in it and the hidden lake fly-by was a nice addition.
Scenery - The ride would've benefited from better surroundings around the station area to set itself apart further from other rides.
Realism
Tech/Adren/Uniq - The ride felt realistic - the use of timberliners as Turbo mentioned was correct and good. I kinda liked the dual storage transfer track. Felt like a realistic adaption to me (not sure if its been used IRL!)
Supporting scenery - The ride lacked any scenery or other stuff to give it a realistic edge.
Buildability - The proximity to the ground certainly made this buildable. The tunnels were very frequent (and often deep) so I'd certainly be worried about cost with a ride this size.
The realism of this track is fantastic, it looks and feels like the real coaster. There are some very good techniques displayed here throughout the construction of the ride, very creative ideas especially with the tunnels. There were plenty of thrills to be experienced in this coaster. It is unique purely based on the fact that wooden coasters aren't as common anymore.
So after 6 and a half years you finally upload again. GLAD TO SEE IT !
------------------------
- Technical - The track was quite smooth and the supports were fine for the most part. There were times where you would have benefited from adding custom lateral bracing and there were also times where the terrain blocked the placement of footers. The timberliners were meant for a wild and curvy track like this, everything fit nicely.
- Adrenaline - This ride was deceivingly forceful and in a really nice way. Why? Because with all the forces and all the tunnels and the forest you had no idea where you were going for the most part. I didn't even know how close we were to the station right before the final brakes! It was really a fun ride that kept me guessing.
- Uniqueness - Timberliners are rarely used right in NL2. They are meant for weird shaping and other forces that most wooden coasters don't normally have. You did all of these things quite well! The running through the forest thing has been done a bit before, but always makes for a nice and fun ride.
- Realism - You need to fix some of the errors listed in the Tech section, but other than that if a park had the money to make a trekking wooden coaster like this I don't think anything could stop it from happening!
- Rider Value - I thought the ride was quite fun. Most of the time I didn't know what was coming next or even what to expect. Every rider would sincerely enjoy this ride and would make for many repeat rides.

I was a huge fan of Windigo, actually it was one of the rides that kept me inspired to push myself! I'm really glad to see you building again, and I hope you start making epic rides again! Glad to have you posting again
