Raptor Pyrenees and Katun inspired Invert

Yeah and its a lake not a river. Ill fix it. And the wing over is a bit short.



Ill fix that too.

Look at the one on Pyrenees and I think yours is passable.

Yeah but its real easy just to make it more acceptable. Its an easy fix.

The exit of the first cork is really flat on Raptor. Hard to tell how it rides without trying it, but yours looks pretty decent to me.

Layout looks better now than it did up to the MCBR, but it seems a bit like you have a lot of ~360* turnarounds. It's probably fine...just something I noticed.

Yeah ur right, its not broken enough to fix. Well ive decided the ride is asian themed just becuase i sed so. I made a rough car texture idea. And gave it colors. Ill probably make the track all one color. But if i keep the track, what color supports would i use?

use a light green, like bamboo

looks good!

Oh and i included a quick transition into a banked turn just for you Gerst

You have more than won me over to this ride once again I would have to say.

I think the first half will actually ride greatly once looking at it at a different instance. And now not to mention I think the second half will have a lot of power and I love that.

^^^Ill try tat

Very good call-

The trains and colors in action!...






I also added some bambooish texture to the backs of the seats. Its a nice touch imo.

Oh shucks =[ Main track, ties and rails should be the same color I think.

Looks good dude.

My complaint (really only since Im looking at layout) is the proportion of inversions in the ride.

Pre MCB - 5
Post MCB - 1

Id rather see 4 and 2, or 5 and 2. It just makes the ending feel so much less intense than the first half. Which I typically dont like from a philosophical and mental point of view. I think people would instantly forget the second half upon getting off of it because the first half is so wild.

Lol, the yellow-ish restraints made this look like Iron Man-the ride.

Whoah... it's been a while since you have been here.

^^ Yeah its deceptive isnt it. No the second half is very intense trust me. Just as if not more than the first half. It has much faster pacing than the beginning. Plus, as far as the ratio ggoes, look at alpengeist. It has massive elements, then just a tiny zero g roll and corkscrew and slow helixes after the mcbr.

My point still stands. I dont like the disparity between the sections. Notice I didnt even mention the word intensity. It is really unbalanced this way.

^That is really just your opinion though. Plus it isn't your design so maybe he wants the ride to be more inversion focused before the mcbr and less afterwards. I know you are just giving your opinion and advice, but saying it is unbalanced this way can't really be decided until you actually ride it, just saying.

Now is the time for opinions though. He can't really do anything about it if Real gives his opinion after the design is released. Consider that opinions may have been some of the reasons why Kyle decided to change up his layout in the first place. Kyle doesn't have to agree, but they're still valid thoughts, and if he does agree then he has the chance to make changes much more easily.

I guess i can change the ending a bit. I have enough speed for another corkscrew i think.

Though I agree with Real, I think you might be ok. Pyrenees has only one inversion in the second half, and it works on the strength of the first half plus what looks like a fun hill and strong final turnaround. I might actually leave what you have since it's a bit more unique, but still realistic.

Yeah i tried to redo it and the way i had it already was best.

Heres a color scheme idea. Any better? or should i go back to the old colors..


(supports for demonstrative purposes only)

btw the ride itself will be over a chinese garden like this-



Except better, and during cherry blossoms.

The garden with cherry blossoms sounds sweet. The colors could go either way for me.
