Schwarzkopf 4 Looping Coaster

pics:

http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/p4048

This ride was inpsired by some of the other portable Schwarzkopf looping coasters such as Thriller and Olympia Looping Bahn. Some of the trademarks of this coaster are its two curving drops, the first one being the first drop and the second curving drop occurs after the first block brake. The ride also has 4 large loops but actually none are exactly back to back. The color scheme features white supports with red track (white trim) and the loops are colored blue. Capacity should be really solid since the ride runs 5 trains, has an unload and load station, and also has 2 block brakes and a total of 8 blocks on the ride.

Ride Progress:

The ride is progressing really well where the layout is for the most part done. The only thing left is to check the blocking and make sure estop is ok (sure it is) and also to get the timing right on station times, etc. Supports are almost done as well where 85% or so of the supports are complete.

Stats:

Height: 139 feet
First Drop: 131 feet
First Loop: 70 feet
Second Loop: 70 feet
Third Loop: 50 feet
Fourth Loop: 50 feet
Drop out of First Block Brake: 67 feet
Top Speed: 60 mph
Length: 4086 feet
Trains: 5 (4 car 16 seat trains)
Capacity: 1920 pph

to be a legit Schwarzkopf-inspired ride, it needs to be more compact. You've got it stretched out waay too much.

I've got to agree with joseph on that one. It isn't compact enough to be a schwarzkopf

Well I do agree with some of your suggestions, but for this coaster, since I am so along with the supports and layout, I think only small changes will be made and will upload soon. Perhaps I could modify this layout later to make it more compact or start completely new when trying to make a more realistic compact schwarzkopf looping coaster. I still thinks its fun to ride, and in certain aspects their are several layers of track above or below. However I do agree that in certain aspects a few turns extend outward away from the rest of the congested middle area of the ride, giving it a less compact feel.

Well anyway, enjoy the ride when it opens in a week or so.
