This is a Bolliger & Mabillard Flyer coaster which features 5 inversions. Thanks to DerMuffinMaker for the sky box, nSeven for the foliage, ByeTom for the paths, COASTERGUY246 for the blank textures for the carriages and bestdani for the turnstiles.
T: The train unfortunately failed the E-Stop test due to it not moving off once the button had been pressed - I did a little experimentation and you've set the gradient up correctly however the breaks engage too soon meaning half the train is still on the incline, meaning the train goes nowhere. A little tweak to the brake settings to make them engage a little later would fix this problem. The track seemed smooth enough to me and the shaping seemed reasonable. You had a few odd supports here and there. For instance the first support out of the station. The additional vertical supports don't do anything to stabilize that support structure as in this case - the span and V-shape of the supports would be the problem as they would bend a lot. I would have suggested supporting each track seperately (like on AIR) and then moving the queue path to fit.
A: I thought the first half of the ride was really fun, and a fair amount of the second half. The elements flowede pretty well and the pacing was decent. It did start to lag towards the end of the ride, maybe you left yourself a little too far to get to the break run. I would've also liked to have seen a steeper first drop, but the curved nature of it was good. You were perhaps a tad heavy on the laterals in places (eg. Hammerhead element), I felt they detracted from the feeling of flying.
U: You can see the inspiration from the new flyer in the first inversion but I felt you worked well to deviate away from the ride. You also managed to create an interesting layout without a pretzel loop (which would have been easy intesnity points!). I think you did well to create a fairly realistic scene with the paths, turnstyles and 3D logo but I would have liked to have seen some more terraforming and foliage work within the ride as it felt quite sparse.
R: Ride overall seemed pretty realistic. I think the rolls could have done with some shaping work to get them to look a little more like B&M flyer rolls as they perhaps needed a little more height on the inverted section - more like a traditional 0g roll (but not much).
