Here is my first Vekoma flying coaster called Dolphin Height 123 FT Track length 3339 ft Top speed 52 mph the custom supports, Rocks & Plants were made by The Codemaster. I had to choose twisted flying as the coaster style on here because vekoma flying coaster wasn't in the list of coaster styles. Enjoy the ride!
Very nice idea of a coaster, let me break down my review of this coaster. The idea of the lay down twisted flying coaster with all those twists and turns and drops kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. The station was very nicely made with one exception that the entrance to the gates was a little tight and in case of a fire, it would be pandemonium with people getting pushed over and possibly stepped on due to the limited amount of space. but I like the idea of the double platform with the exit being in the middle though. With the highest peak acceleration of 3.8, the ride speed is fine, for laying down. Safety is great, to test out safety, I hit the E-Stop 3 times at random points of the ride and the cars didn't collide or come close to colliding. The only concern I have safety wise is what I said earlier about the station. Ride overall experience is excellent, I enjoyed the ride a lot. Overall this is a great ride and I would recommend anyone who like a good laying down coaster ride to try this out
Technical Passed all basic testsTrackwork was pretty good throughout the ride - I thought you did a good job of shaping the elements for the most part and it felt pretty 'flying ducthmen' esque. There were a few pumps and odd shaping, particularly in and around the double roll. Just needed to spend some time tweaking the roll points and some vertexs to get a nice smooth output.I thought you did a really good job with the supports - they all felt really realistic and I think they were suitable throughout the entire ride - only small gripe was the loop supports were a bit sloppy at the connection!I really thought you did a decent job with the scenery too - it felt very clean and suitably populated throughout. I enjoyed the "water splash" and the benches / flat rides. To improve I felt you could've added more signage and gave the area a little more character (and perhaps a longer queueline!)
Adrenaline Pacing was where I think your ride suffered the most - the back half of the ride (post MCBR) really dragged - I think with the dual station you could've done away with that and worked on a shorter but more fun finish to the ride.The layout was really fun though - there was a great mix of lieing and flying - the loop was nice and forceful and I enjoyed the exit to that element. I think you did a good job of engineering interesting lie to fly transitions too. I felt that as a fantasy coaster it needed a lot more too it - you should be really pushing the boat out if you're making a fantasy ride!G-forces were kept in check for the most part - bar some slightly high laterals on one of the transitions. Good job on the whole though.
Originality I think the layout was inventive - the beginning was relatively similar to the standard model but you had some good element choice and I felt it was very different form your usual flyer!Scenery was nice and set it apart - I felt you could've expanded on your theme some more however.
