Lightbulb Thunder Chariot--Intamin Hyper
This is a large hypercoaster. I tried to make it as smooth and realistic as I could. It's about 280 feet tall and 6,840 feet long. Any comments would be appreciated!

Here's another pic. This is the helix and bunny hops at the end of the ride with the overbanked turn (4th hill) in the background.

A very nice overall coaster with good speed, layout, and elements. Only 2 things I found to be "wrong" with it, the lift hill shouldn't be a huge curve up to the degree and the station was sloped up and down like a "u". Other than that good coaster!

I posted a new version. It just has a few minor revisions. It fixes the problems Spongebob mentioned and I also tried to make a few parts a little smoother.

Nice revision to an already good coaster. The station is a lot better too.

Thumbs up
Your coaster is pretty cool. It is also very smooth. One thing I noticed is that train #2 stops at the top of the lift hill.

The second train only stops at the top of the lift for a while, until train 1 gets back into the station. It does this automatically, I guess to prevent crashes. Something strange though, when I first made this I ran it with 3 trains and train 1 would get stuck at the top on the first run, but the other trains were both on the brakes or in the station. Weird!

Anyway, thanks for the comments!

Well I got No Limits now, I rode it, this coaster is great! One of the best i've seen yet! I'm gonna grade it... I might change it yet too... the points are out of 10


Color and Theme: 9
Lift and Drop: 8
Supports: 10
Realism: 10
Smoothness: 9
Pacing and Speed: 9
Elements and Variety: 9
G-Forces: 9
Banking: 8
Layout: 10

Overall Score: 91


Sorry if I went a little overboard on the judging, its the first coaster I did this for. Excellent coaster, a few minor things wrong but only enough to take a few points (which is nothing). Points taken off for the curve on the lift, the last curve before breaks and a couple spots which could have used more banking (all minor)
