Not just the regular Impulse coaster, but a themed one with a little extra track! The first spike is in the Beanstalk, the second one is inside a giant hollow tree!
I really enjoyed this ride. It reminded me a lot of wicked twister at Cedar Point. However, you knocked it out the ball part though with the attention to detail. The track work is very nice. It's very smooth and the speed is held good throughout the course. The trees and tunnel work add a lot for adrenaline and I reflected that in the rating. The amazing 3d work and landscaping make it for an immersive and visually pleasing ride. Its is far more unique than most shuttle rides I've seen before. It is ultra realistic. I could see something like this being built in parks like Busch Gardens where they have plenty of flowered and tree filled areas. It would be perfect there! Rider value is high as well because it is a people mover and the fun factor of it is very high. Great job! I look forward to more of your tracks
Turbo has touched on this but the performance was horrible for such a small ride and area - there's a few tutorials and guides around for LOD's and double sided 3DS models and just generally how to create a more optimised scene. This really really impacted on how easy it was to ride the ride and I personally consider it a technical problem.
As far as the ride went it was technically solid - the supports were really really good and all the scenery items certainly added to the ride experience on the whole. I thought the beanstalk idea was a nice one and you executed it pretty well. I did think the layout lacked, it was just one long turn warping into an inversion (which incidently gets you uniqueness points!) however I think rides like Switchback have shown that so much more can be done with a shuttle layout than what we're used to - so in that respect I expected more.
Hello. This ride is the first I've rated in a long time but it got me to rate. Well done
------------------------
- Technical - Just a note: Normally I'd use this area to comment on the build style and structure supporting the ride however that will be reflected in the realism category today as there is one key thing that I need to address.
I loved the scenery, the ride flowed well and the general feel was superb. This all would be able to be viewed if there was a lack of lag. Upon further inspection of your awesome creation I noticed a massive amount of 3D trees to be the main culprit behind the poor performance of this ride. The other issue were some of the objects having 2 faces visible when only 1 was needed. This was really the only issue here but it drastically reduced the ability to enjoy the ride if there was performance drop (which for most people that would occur).
- Adrenaline - As with any impulse coaster there will be adrenaline that follows. Almost as a general rule of thumb they blast your heart into high gear. This was hard to fail on lol. Only thing I was a little bummed about was not being able to peak the front spiral totally. I'm sure you played around with it and had issues slowing the ride and keeping capacity up but I would have loved to see the track cease to exist right above my head. Oh well The scenery whizzing by really made the speed seem higher and made the ride more thrilling.
- Uniqueness - A take on old design with a new element and even a tunnel! Nicely done! The tunnel was a nice addition too.
- Realism - As I said the structure will be rated here as well. The ride was flawless itself. Smooth, well supported, fun. I could see many people loving this ride and it still keeps that very attractive compact area of operation! You did very well with the ride itself and the scenery around it. I really enjoyed that you created an entire world around the ride bringing forth many possibilities for expansion and marketing that any park would thrive on. This right here was an easy 10. I rarely give 10's out, well done with that one
- Rider Value - This section I always seem to lose words on because it really is the previous 4 sections all put into one category. As a simulation you lose points for performance drop. As a ride you got everything very well done. A real rider would love to be thrilled with interactive scenery and an unknown layout directly behind the station. Any rider would enjoy themselves here and would ensure many repeat rides!
------------------------
I really enjoyed this ride! Excellent work melding an old style with new sprinkles on top. Keep up the fantastic work!
