Only second place. =( I was hoping for the first place. :P In my opinion mine is better than the number one (which is actually pretty unrealistic, and one of the rules was that it shoud be a realistic coaster), and number 5 is better than number 4. But after all, it's your opinion. :P
Well, I have to admit that the second place isn't bad at all. :P
Unrealistic? Really? The only argument that might hold water is that it would be expensive. If you feel that forces are not realistic let me inform you that absolute G-force calculations at every 1.2 feet were used to synthesize trackform and at no point were any lats present. I would never create something that you could not ride safely. If by unrealistic you mean "not concurrent of the coasters of today?" Then I say shame on you. It is the responsibility of current designers to INNOVATE. Tisk.
I didn't mean it that way, I saw some serious gasps between the supports. In real life, the track or supports will break. You can see an example in this video at 2.40. Besides, another example why it would be unrealistic, is the friction on the train. They have to get replaced every few years, instead of much more. Probably one of the reasons that there isn't a high launch coaster with a layout like Stormrunner and a tophat like Kingda Ka. I didn't say it's a bad coaster, it looks pretty smooth.
Friction only occurs at the bearings of the ride. These components are replaced every ten days of operation. Bear in mind that the wear on those parts are caused by high RPM which can be compensated and reduced by increasing the radius of the wheel per design as there is an inverse linear relationship between angular displacement and radius assuming running the same course length. You are talking to a senior level engineer by the way.
With tha gap I meant the right one, the track still pulls some strong G's (it looks like it, I can´t see them), while there are no supports. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert, but I haven't seen anything like this before. Even a coaster like Posessed or Wicked Twister need supports when going up in a straight line, or else the track will move too much. But you haven't made a bad coaster, it's really good, but in my opinion it's a fantasy coaster.
There are no gaps in the support structure. That which you see at 2:40 is a void between two separate structures. The leftmost one is a lateral anchor for the H struct supporting the zero G roll. The right one is a compression member used for the low level flip flop track that flies through the H struct from the right.
@erik111erik only second place. u stuck up piece of shit. face the fact that urs wasnt as good. dont start been all big headed making out that u knew from the start urs was gonna make it to first
Man, this is over a year ago. Second place is good too. I didn't knew from the start if I would win or not. Besides, after getting a lot more experience with Newton I realized that mine wasn't much more realistic (if it already was) than the nr. 1.
hey. 3rd place. im not made at that.
