Need 4 Speed: The Ride

Hello all, my latest project manhunt was just something I put together in one day, while I was bored, and on the phone with some people. This project is nothing like it. Need FOr Speed: The Ride is a Vekoma Motobike Coaster, which has been in te works for two weeks now, and trackwork is finally done. AHG was used. Here are the ride's stats:

Gs: -1.4, 4.5
Speed: 64 mph/ 102.17 km/h
Height: 115 ft. / 35m
Length: 3240.9 ft. /987.8 m
Airtime HIlls :6

I do need some testers before I proceed to the next phase in the coaster, supports and scenery, so if you want to, just leave your e-mail address and I'll send you the track. Thanks, and look for more updates, and maybe an NLDC later on. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2007!!!!

G's seem to me like way too much for a motorbike...El Toro magnitude airtime? Don't think it works with that seating configuration. That, and especially if that 4.5 g's isn't smoothly onsetting, you might bash rider's heads into the front of the bike.

I'll test if you would like me to!

I'll test the track as well, SFOT. Again, if you'd like a long, juicy rate, I'd love to leave one. ( gerstlcrazy@hotmail.com )

Shoot it over man: tconwell@knology.net

All things considered, this ride was decent. There was some quick jerks, but they could easily be fixed if you run the track through AHG.

It would get probably a 6 or a low 7 as of right now (disregarding the fact that there are no supports).

Overall I think this is a good ride! There were some things I noticed.

T- 6.5
Transitions were a little rough! Other than that there was nothing else I noticed! I am assuming you are going to terraform it right? You G's were good, and it passed my E-Stop tests. (Score would change with supports, smoothing out, and terraforming)

A- 9
Not much to say here. It was fast and the speed was consistent!

O- 8
There are only a couple of motorbike coasters out there! This one I would consider pretty original, because there are so few, and the layout was different than the others!

Average- 7.83

Just work out the kinks and it will be much better!

Yes I should add I won't rate until it gets posted, but you should know I usually give long rates, like CStreaks.

Running the track through the heartliner would only emphasize those jerks...

And fyi, your rates really aren't that long or detailed. Check out Tcon's rating guideline and rates by members such as Dcs22 for pointers.

Anyways, don't really have any comments for you SFOT as there aren't any pictures to view at this point.

^^ Can you two stop posting full rates in the forums when you test rides, just do that stuff personally...
