I think the trackwork looks pretty good but when I compare it to the real coaster it looks like it has some differences. I think the biggest differences are the corkscrew that looks bigger than the real one and the transition from the first turn into the second looks like it's way too low. Still the track was pretty enjoyable to ride!
The details are looking very good. The station also looks very good but looks different than the real station.
The supports could be done better. Now there are some parts that don't have supports like the part after it went through the loop. Other supports look a bit unstable and thin for example at the loop.
If this wasn't a recreation, you would probably get a higher rating from me as the track itself looks nice and is enjoyable!
Recreations are a challenge, because one has to imitate the actual "style" each company/designer has. This particular era of B&M coasters have a very tight twisty layout.
The trackwork I gave an 8.5- It would be in the 9s if it had that tighter feel that the actual coaster has and wasn't so spread out. The overall trackwork you can definitely tell this is the Georgia Scorcher.
Pacing I gave an 8- Although it was spread out, the pacing seemed more realistic. I left it just under a 9 since I can't actually compare the pacing to a POV video.
Detail got a 7- this is due to the lack of supports where needed. Also the column size of the supports should be thicker in the more high stressed areas of the ride. Supports are a very easy fix, and doesn't take too much from the recreation experience.
Scenery has a 9.5- not to take away the feeling of higher scored category, but generally any realistic recreation of the actual ride gets a high score. The station was pleasant and different ground textures and slight elevation change was nice. The effort is there, so a high score here for sure.
Difficulty to recreate: 8- this ride doesn't have a huge layout and not too much going on. It really is all about the "style" of each company/designer.
Overall, I did enjoy the recreation and will be keeping it downloaded. Thank you for your work
