Flying Coaster Concept

[slosprint]

I've been fiddling around with this for a while now, with the goal of creating a flying coaster that could fit in a small plot of land. I wanted it to be sort of like a maurer-sohne skywheel. This is not meant to be by any manufacturer, I was just playing around and I thought this looked sort of cool.


The vertical lift overlooking the rest of the ride.


The view from the top of the lift.



Soaring low out of the first drop, barely missing the station.


The twisted vertical loop.


Another view of the loop.


An overview of the ride.

So yeah, that's it. questions/comments/suggestions are always welcome.

I think it gets a bit too low over the station. Whats the height clearance there?

looks like a funny ride...are the g's ok? But the only thing i don't like is the downwards break

[slosprint]

^^ It passes tunnel test, and since the flyover is directly over the track, as long as nobody is standing on the track when the train flies over it should be fine.

Edit: Here's a better view.



And yes, the gs are in check.

At first sight I thought,this was a scraeming squirrel,but yeah this looks fun.

gs in check meaning??????

It brushes 4 for a fraction of a second but for the majority of the ride keeps under 3.5.

Already been done.

Ok, well there goes my whole originality thing... I think my loop is still original, though.

4 hedgehogs, obviously. Tht oh so reliable method of force measurement!

-4 acceleration gs, I am working on fixing that.

How did I guess? I looked at the picture and basically new... even though that isn't a verb.
