Trying to wrap my mind around what's going on in that turnaround - it's awesome! Those train colors are pretty sweet too, can't wait to see more!

I'm wondering which inversion the riders feel first!

Well that's definitely unique. I'm assuming this is launched and that is your "tophat". Make sure those G's are down lol.

The taller one.

You could say it's launched..

The GIF is a little fast, but here is a POV of that second and third elements. Layout inspired by the Cat in the Hat of course.

Maybe to fix the rotation in the figure 8 turnaround thing you could bank to the right in the valley before it starts to make the roll to the left less severe.

Looks like the exit will have a cheeky pop of airtime! Hard to tell from the .gif as you said - felt sped up - but I do agree with what CK said.

omg mikey working on another nl2 coaster omg.

Track Work is mostly complete and I have started lazily supporting the track.

I have attached the beta ride below for your criticism and feedback.

I thing i saw -9 negative gs and a ton of red lateral gs on the upwards twist.

That S-twist on the far turnaround is way too fast.

There were support collisions, and one of the wings went through the station.

-9 Gs? I am not able to duplicate this.

How would you suggest fixing this? I have already elongated the element as well as pushing back the transition point to a more roll transition neutral position. The G load only seems to impact one side, and adjusting it forward results in higher lateral Gs, while adjusting it back results in higher positive forces.

The station wont have a roof in the final version which should fix this. I found two other places where supports were causing problems.

When adding vertices randomly it's actually really hard to reach extreme red g's in NL sim, though it's freakin' easy to get yellow g's! One of NL characteristics!

I like a good challenge so I tinkered around with your ride. I managed to somewhat fix the far turnaround I was bitching about earlier, and in general I messed around with the whole ride to make it a bit softer around the edges since I'm sorry but your G's are nuts lol. I think I butchered the turn over the station (sorry) but otherwise I hope it stayed true to what you intended. I did manage to make that turnaround work while going a bit faster through the whole thing.


And while I'm thinking of it, you know that dispatch interval is impossible. Could you stop the train in the launch for 5 seconds or something and then launch it?

^^^I don't blame you about the second issue. Wingriders are extremely hard to make because of the seating arrangement. All the transitions must be made much longer and drawn out.
