Sting Ray-Stand Up Bowl

Here's my first ride in a long time. It features 3 inversions, custom supports, and tons of head choppers. Also, the g's never get in the red zone. Tell me what you think.

Here's the first of three screen shots.

Here's the second shot.

Here's the last screen shot showing a top view of the ride. You can see how compact this ride is by this shot.

Very good ride!

A few points of constructive criticism....

The ride itself was very smooth, but it needs to feel more fluid. I have the same problem in coasters I make; try to make the ride one continous movement, not "Ok, now we go left and... now we go up..." There were many moments in the ride when it was fluid, so I may be a little nit-picky.

Watch those head choppers! I wish Ole would give us a proximity checker to see if, for example, I had my hand on the outside the car on the left side, would I hit my hand on a support flying by. The supports were great, but try to keep away from over supporting the ride. One support every 15 to 20 ties on non-inversional track is a good form to follow.

Another nit-picky note, make extra sure all straight track is in fact straight; Con Roll can skew that sometimes.

Again... overall, a great job (80 over 100). Keep building!

There is a way to tell! Use tunnels on any if(y) parts and if anyhing goes inside the tunnel you know it has bad clearence! It's a good thing 8)8)8)

Cool ride! Great colors, compactness, and launch. However, I kind of agree with Ben about the fluidness of the ride. Also, the 2nd half probably should have had an inversion. But still, great job!

Really cool ride! Nice Speggethi(sp) bowl! This was pretty smooth and pretty nicely paced. It could have used a few more inversions, though. 85/100
