Flying Fortress [Suspended Coaster; Uploaded Pg.2]

That section in the lates image looks amazing. How's the swinging, though? If it's traveling as fast as I'm envisioning it, it looks like the track's rotating a lot faster than the train, which could end up a problem...

^yes those sections are taken at a pretty fast pace, keep in mind this is not the end result. yes there is a part in the latest image where the tracks rotation is a lot faster than the train. i am trying to find a solution to that. i may just end up putting trim brakes. but it wont affect speed much. good eye man

I wish the swinging motion was much more relaxed and not so hard to swing the cars out to the side.

I disagree. Watch a POV of Eagle's Fortress.

i'll let you interpret the picture...

^I did. Why in hell would that change my opinion on how fast the trains rotate compared with the track?

Its not a big deal if the track changes super fast.

Ballerboi knows what he is doing. I'm sure it is fine.

I pointed out something I thought was wrong, and ballerboi responded:

Apparently it's enough of a deal that he's concerned with it [;)]

Just because he knows what he's doing doesn't mean everything he does is perfect, and I'm sure he knows that (otherwise he wouldn't ask people for feedback). I know what I'm doing, but I know that my rides are far from perfect, however I also know why they're not perfect (most of the time).

Yeah same here. I mostly know when my rides have flaws.

Rides? Last time I checked, you only had 1.

yeah, and it was a joke. I have a lot of rides. I just dont upload them. Most of them I never finish though; I get halfway through the track work and then get bored and start something new.

I do the same thing. Only it's because I am unsatisfied with the track work because it was done so long ago.

concerns with track rotation being faster than train swinging shouldn't be a concern no more. i've done simple adjustment to fix the problem. track work is now complete. just need some finishing touches on supports.

O_o two lifts? As long as it's better than Iron Dragon, I approve [;)]

^Most suspended coasters have 2 lift hills lol

They tend to loose speed fairly quickly.

Any Updated yet?



Lyle

Really? Huh...imma have to go look at that now...lol

EDIT: You're WRONG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Only about half have 2 lifts. No matter, still looks like a cool ride!

^ when i said most, i thought about Ninja, iron dragon, and the former big bad wolf...

update... hmmm yeah everything is pretty much done, just need to figure out a name and get a video going... might post some pictures later..

As I do not own SM I only have the video to go off of, so I did not leave a rate. I really enjoyed the layout. It was fun and paced better than most suspended coasters, reminds me a little of Ninja at SFMM and Big Bad Wolf that used to be at BGE. The only criticism I have is the POV. Suspended coasters are usually more forceful and fun in the last 2 or 3 cars, depending on how many cars each train has. Aside from that, I really like the way the ride interacts with the terrain and that near miss with the station was really awesome. Can't wait to see your next creation.
