As one of the few testers, this coaster remained exciting throughout the entire ride. It was full of smooth moves, one right after another. Keep at it!

If anybody tested this ride can you give it back! Formatted and forgot to backup!

Any reason for that trim mid-helix? I would think youd put it before the helix at least. I know those mag brakes are beautiful, but youd still feel it a bit and a helix is a place I know most people would notice. Especially on an upwards helix.

Looks neat, good use of all-tools. Just makes my more hyped for the mac release. I like that cork-barrel roll like element.

Oh, about that trim.

Dont use a brake segment, use a transport.

Then, set the Accel and Decel rate to within 0.1 of each other and set the speed to something rather low. Id say go with an Accel of 1 - 1.2 and the decel to 0.9 - 1.1, respectively.

Then play with the speed to get it to decel to the right speed. That way, theres no stupid noises and its 100% stationary like real trims.

well, real trims also make noise. Example at silverstar, the whole neighbourhood can hear the ride trimming!

I see it in all of the shots where the helix is except the last one and thats because its too small.

Dirk - as far as I know, fixed magnetic brakes do NOT make noise. But thats because theres no friction. The noise I was talking about on the brake segment trims is that of the brakes engaging. Using a trim, they are permanently fixed, so no hissing sound of them engaging up.

I cant tell directly that you used them, but that helix looks like its 90% made of tools. I can tell by looking in the editor pics.
