I really like the airtime element over the path, the one thats a bit tilted (theres a name for everything, Im sure) but without knowing what the normal forces look like through that element, I can only say it looks nice, but not if it would be fun (or comfortable).

Please note that this coaster isnt optimized and framerate may be low.

The story behind the ride is that of a scientist in the early 20th century who managed to create a time machine.

By dropping a weight down an abandoned mineshaft hes able to generate a power surge with which hes bend space and time itself.

Now decades later the scientist has long passed away but the machine is still operational and still sometimes comes to life.

POV can be found here: Special thanks goes to: MylynPoddly for providing the train and carriage models on the Sketchup warehouse.

I also deleted all of the scenery to save frames and reverted the roller coaster back to a rocket coaster.

This was the only way I could seem to get a g-force read-out.

Technique: My only issue outside the ones I brought up previously comes with the roll over the station.

The high lateral entrance (1.0g) I think would be perfectly acceptable on this coaster type if it werent followed by a sustain of 0.5g through the roll.

A slower roll rate would likely have resulted in a roll that crashes through the station wall much higher at the start than at the end, which may have added to the effect while standing in queue, and made it just a bit more comfortable.

Forgive the run-on.

I feel that the distance between the clearance envelope and the brick walltunnel after the bat-wing element is begging for an inappropriate joke, but Ill let you use your own imagination there.

But hoo-boy, its super close on both sides I really liked the ejector hills; -0.4g and -0.2g demonstrate good pacing if you ask me.

A bit intense to start, but slowly easing you into the final breaks.

Adrenaline: The pacing (look, a segue) allowed the intensity of the ride to keep up without exhausting riders.

It rode differently in the front and in the back, but were equally intense for both riders.

But, I definitely thought this ride was worth praise, so here are some kind words, and bit of constructive criticism.

Technique: By far the biggest contributor to why I cant rate this ride; I cant see the construction of the track and supports, the speed at which the train is moving, or the g-forces throughout the ride.

It does appear to be well done, and using FVD without a doubt, but some questions remain.

Did you get your friction coefficient as close as you can to match FVD to the editor If you kept constant 0 laterals in FVD, but they start to show up towards the end of the ride, youre either going to slow or too fast as compared to the intended design.

Maybe a nit-picky detail, but one an enthusiast, such as ourselves, may care about.

The devil is indeed in the details.) And my confidence that this was made using FVD shows up in the second element: theres a jitter in the vertical section.

Easy fix though, just delete the node or two at the problem area, and an additional one in either direction if the problem persists.

No Limits does a pretty good job filling in the gap there without the nodes.

The train models are decent, though there is a gap between the car and the chassis.

Adrenaline: Not being able to see the g-force readout is unfortunate here as well.
