Fear is a GCI wooden coaster and my first solo coaster project of 2016. I am a HUGE fan of GCI, and this ride is all about twists and turns. The track is constantly twisting and turning ??? incorporating multiple turns and curves banked beyond 70 degrees, including a few banked at 90 degrees. Basically, after the lift hill, there isn???t a single segment of straight track until the end brakes. The ride is nearly 120 feet tall and almost 4,000 feet long, topping out at 55 mph.
I originally planned for a custom station, and even posted some pics of my progress on the Drbcoaster Central Tumblr page. My proficiency with 3D modeling software is not the greatest, so I decided against including the custom station.
As always, I hand-built roller coasters seen here, not using any 3rd party tools like Newton, AHG, FVD, etc. The only tools used are the track smoothing options available in NL2.
Please rate and comment (constructive comments only) and, of course, Enjoy!
First off, I overall enjoyed your ride pretty much!
T: Your ride passed the basic stuff (tunnel, e-stop). The forces mostly stayed within the acceptable boundaries (some high negative spikes here & there). Your ride was awesomely smooth and flowy, nice job here and your shaping was awesome as well for a typical GCI woodie. Although I felt some sections were a bit wobbly to be GCI-like, (i.e. one of the left-downwards helices) One thing you could??ve improved are the supports. Yes, tweaking the supports is a pain but does a lot to make your ride look better. Try to find all "floating" beams and delete them as well as the "floating" side supports, exspecially when having a spaghetti bowl-layout like this one. You can also convert long strait supports in a track crossing into seel L or H beams with a slightly other colour, to look more realistic. 7.25/10
A: Your ride was pretty fun. The layout was unpredictable, compact and well planned and still managed to be diverse, the dense fog doing it??s rest. I relly enjoyed the fast, forcefull turns and the ejector moments. Like I said before they were a tad high though. I also missed some stronger positive ones. +3.8g feels like a family ride rather than a thirll mashine. 7.5/10
U: Typical, solid GCI woodie. It does nothing new, but it has a pretty fun layout and I liked it very much, but I don??t want to ruin your score here, so I??ll give u average 7.25.
R: Realistic length, lift speed, forces, cool scenery and nice choice for the weather. The point that costs points here are the supports as said before. 6.75/10
RV: Overall I really enjoyed your ride. It had a nice layout, good scenery, was pretty thrilling, and mostly had a good layout. When you fix the supports I??m sure your ride will have at least +1 average. It??s no big deal but ecspecially when having so many crossings on a woodie the "floating beams" are pretty conspicuous, that??s why it costs so many points. 7.25/10
Overall, nice work with this woodie, I enjoyed it pretty much and I??m excited for your next ride
