Twisted Dream

Here's a coaster that I cranked out in about 2 weeks time.

It's a Vekoma multi-looper.
9 Inversions.
260+ Feet high
Over a mile long.
74 mph.
3 trains, 7 coaches, 28 ppt.

Very smooth. Interesting Inversions.
I'll see if I can post some screenshots.


Enjoy your Twisted Dream.

Very cool. I like how you used the height of the coaster with the inversions to lower them closer to the ground one by one. Only minor adjustment that you might want to think about is widening that last overbanked turn coming into the break run, it was a little cramped. Great job! Very smooth.

Yeah, I battled with that last overbanked turn for quite a while. Every time I tried to widen it, it got a little funky.

I also wanted a lot of hangtime in the inversions, which is why they are large and that you take them slow. I'm getting tired of riding these coasters that just blast you through the inversions as fast as possible without nailing the effect of being upside-down.

Thanks for your review!

Yep, I totally agree Bp. On NL you really can't get the good effect of an inversion unless it's really big, or the train takes it slowly. I can also understand you trying to fight with the overbanked turn. Keep practicing those turns and you'll get the idea. I'll post your track with the overbanked turn edited I edited soon.

Thumbs up

Great ride! Nice colors, fun layout, very smooth, and Gs were pretty much in check. The hang-time in the inversions was great, too. Keep up the great work!
