| Blue Baron-Floorless
Yup, another new one from me. This one is a large floorless with 5,500 feet of track and a lift hill 197 feet tall. It reaches a top speed of (I think) 74 mph and has 5 inversions: a vertical loop, a zero-g roll, a dive loop, a weird immelman-type thing, and a corkscrew. This one also has lots of turns and drops, more than your typical floorless. It's fast and somewhat intense but still pretty smooth, and I'm pleased with how it came out. I hope you enjoy it too! Please download it and post comments, criticism, etc. Thanks! EDIT (7/27)-I replaced the old file with a new one. This may not seem like a major update, but in real life it would probably mean the difference between peeps getting off and saying "That was fun!" or peeps not saying anything and not getting off because they're dead. ![]() The new corkscrew is my attempt at a custom corkscrew, I THINK the G's are lower now... a few other minor changes too.

One thing about this ride, however: it's not very photogenic. But here's a pic of part of the coaster from the lift hill anyway.

And here's another one, showing a train coming around the last turn into the brakes with the 2nd inversion in the background.

Wow, I never figured I'd be writing a review like this for you.... Smoothness-10/10-with you that's almost a given Speed-10/10-sweet packing G's-9/10-great through the inversions, a bit weak on the turns, still good. supports-10/10-another gimmie catagory Rideability-0/10-This is the shocking part. You pulled 9 G's in the corckscrew!!!! suprised the heck out of me, especially with my standard opinion of your coasters. Overall-9.75 |

Not that I usually argue with good scores, but shouldn't that be a lot lower with the 0/10 in there? It seems like you just didn't count it. Ah well, thanks for the review, I had no idea it got up to 9 G's in the corkscrew! That's the last time I use that prefab corkscrew ... anyway, maybe I'll just fix that and post an updated version. It would be a very minor update, but that shouldn't matter here since nobody has downloaded it from this site yet anyway!

You're right, I accidently hit divide by 4 instead of divide by 5 on my calculator. You'r overall should be a 7.8-still very respectable. It doesn't show 9 G's every time, I can see how you missed it. Tip for the future-use the buster screw. It's much better.

All right, I posted a new version that (I hope!) fixes the G force problem and has a few other minor changes that you might not even notice. If you downloaded the old file, please download the new one too, even though most of the changes are very small. I think it's worth the <1 second download.

OK, the new rating is the same as the old one, with 2 changes Smoothness=9/10-Your corckscrew, while not bumpy, was misshapen. Rideability=10/10 Your overall is now- 9.6 you can't get a perfect screw from only 3 vertices. You need to use the bezier formula to calculate the second and fourth points.(which is a major pain in the butt to do.) Or you can use the buster screw, which is very smooth. |
