I wasn't sure what to expect though I ended up digging this track. Very spartan presentation, but shaping was overall very good and reflected an edgy yet reasonable take on recent B&M design trends. I think the lift as well as most hills were a shade steeper than any real life example, but were generally executed well. The Stengel dive that you set up late in the course was cool, but I wish it actually dove instead of creating that little valley. Overall I really enjoyed my ride, and wouldn't be surprised to see something not too dissimilar crop up at a Cedar Fair park in the future.
Nice track! I was worried when I didn't see a track description but the image looked good so I downloaded it.
Technically it's a pretty sound track. You have a couple odd wiggles I don't really have an explanation for because you used a tool to make this. I unfroze the ride and tried to fix what I saw. The main things I noticed were you had some banking wiggles in the first high turn after the drop, and occasionally the train had a wiggle when you transition from rising to falling and vice versa in the air hills. I deleted every other vertex and banking node thing in that area, element depumper'ed it, and it rode fine afterwards. Occasionally your air hills like the one after the Fury 325 turnaround pumped a bit as well. Aside from that everything was fine and I have nothing to complain about that isn't opinion based. Supports were great and didn't rely on prefabs. Shaping was fine, banking was fine, G's were controlled well, nothing to complain about. As far as nitpicking goes, I would have banked into some of the final turns (specifically the one before the final far low turnaround) a bit more gradually, but really that's opinion based because you did what you did right.
The layout was a nice realistic U-shaped layout that remained interesting while not being totally stupid. I like that you focused less on turning than other rides tend to, but it would have been nice to see another twist in the ride somewhere. The ride kept its speed well and didn't drag out like many rides do. Nothing to complain about here.
Overall this is a very good track, I just really wish that you had bothered to make a path or even a giant concrete rectangle to serve as a parking lot or something. Some trees would have been nice and not hard to add in, but aside from that, this is a solid effort and you definitely know what you're doing. Sorry I didn't write more but there isn't much to complain about like I said earlier. It really would have been nice though to give this some kind of remedial environment and added a ton to the experience. Thanks for uploading.
