Intamin Terra- Baptism of Blood

Named after a scene from my favorite novel of all time, this Intamin terra is my first coaster ever. It's my first project, so it's probably not as good as it could be, but please look at it and tell me where I need to improve, and try to enjoy it. Thanx.

Great for a first try! It has its problems, but I'll tell you, it's a lot better than MY first coaster in NL was! Its biggest problem is the G-forces: they get very high in a few spots (especially that turn at the bottom of the first drop). When I was riding it, I noticed the numbers on the G-force thing turned red several times. (If you don't have the newest patch, I recommend you download it, it makes it a lot easier to see where G-forces are too high on your coaster). It is not perfectly smooth, but it's not too rough (much smoother than most of my early coasters were). It also has a very nice layout and good custom supports. Again, very good for a first try!

Thanks for the review, Tycoon. Yeah, I agree-that first turn did need to be wider, but I ran out of room. However, G's in the red IMO are not nessacarily a bad thing-Texas Tornado at SFAW is in the red for tons of it's layout, it's still rideable, and loads of fun. And the recreation is accurate-I looked at the G numbers. Anyways, thanx for the review.

Hey why don't you make it 0.8 m taller so it reaches the height limits? (NoLimits has a height limit of 149.0 m, and your coaster is 148.2 m) hehe

One big problems are the transitions. They're not fluid enough, as they are so sudden... (The worst being the left turn before passing under the lift hill)

I wonder, what's your priority on the ride: the track, or the supports?

But still... Better than Luke Skywalker, my first coaster in NL (i learned that exact rct->nolimits conversions don't work, and they have to be modified)...

Yes, I agree-those transitions were awfull. I didn't have how to do good banked turns figured out yet-I'm still working on it, but it's getting better. Look at Shadowless, it's turns are lots smoother. As for the height, I origianally planned to make it that way, but it was really hard to do a smoot transition at the top of the lifthill with the vertex being at the very top, so I decided to give myself some room. Thanx for the review.
