Woodie --- pay attention cause this is ONLY for you man.
I was telling the lad to design coasters that make him happy, and not too put too much stock into what other people say unless they are testing it. Commenting off of a picture is useless as there is no way to really tell what is going on without testing the ride. Thus, he ought to focus on designing a coaster that makes him happy -- and not try to please others.
Believe me, I have had plenty of experience in trying to please others -- hence this thread (
http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9329), and the reason there has not been a TConwell design posted since. Now, since I wrote that thread I have created 5 coasters -- all would bring rates of 7s and 8s and 9s from the usual suspects, but do you see them? No. Why? Because I finally got it ... Design for me, and forget about what everyone else thinks I ought to do.
Is that clear enough? If not, I give up -- you're on your own.
