Alright so I just started working on a Vekoma motorbike coaster. It has a top speed of 59MPH. The highlight of the ride is its lighting-fast transitions. Tell me what you think about these photos.

Kinda reminds you of B&M shaping, huh.

Side view of what I just showed you. This shows the "s-backs" as I call them. Very little speed is lost going through them, and the laterals aren't that high- i think maybe 1.4 at max.

In the sim showing the double s-back.

Again, tell me what you think. I've only recently started on this so, constructive criticism would help a lot!


Any ideas? I'm lost. [lol]

Looks good, however you should make sure your G forces are pretty moderate since motorbikes don't have the most comfortable restraint system.

Ya definitely keep the g's down. especially with airtime. keep it really light. i wouldn't go over -0.3 to be honest. those transitions look amazing, however, please make sure they aren't too lightning fast" lol. vekoma's are meant to have kinda a gentle feel to them, and are mainly built low to the ground to keep the speed high.
