RCT2 Project Park Part 2

This is the second addition to the outdoor section of the park, a mountain themed roller coaster.

It was directly inspired by Big Thunder Mountain Railroad @ DLMK. This roller coaster uses a subtle illusionary trick called forced perspective to make it appear bigger than it really is. As you can see, the coaster only really spans 10x20ish squares and is around 65ft tall - which is a formidable height but then again mountains can range from 15,000-30,000ft tall. Forced perspective works from the ground up, as in the base of the coaster/mountain is very spread out and bulky while the higher portions are very compact and contained. The actual mountain peak, which the mountain reduces to as it stretches higher into a fine point, is about 15-20ft higher than the coaster. The illusion is also complimented by the low profile design of the river rapids that surround it, so nothing in the background is taller (in fact, much of the river rapids is 10ft below ground). You can also see a dramatic variance in size between the trees I've used... big, tall trees at ground level with smaller versions higher into the mountain.

But from our perspective, the illusion is lost a little bit as the station doesn't quite scale from this angle. But I think from ground level, it would scale perfectly.

This ride is 1 minute and 45 seconds long. It reaches a max speed of 50mph 15ft below ground, and uses a slow spiraling chain lift to propell the train to a maximum height of 65ft. It achieves a high excitement rating, a very high intensity rating, and a high nausea rating as well. Currently, I'm tweaking the track to reduce the intensity/nausea.

what does tweaking mean?

[FAON1886]

@ecs012708 What I meant is that the intensity and nausea are little too high on this ride, so I' had to edit the track a little bit. I added more hills to stop the momentum of the train because really, its one gigantic helix. So I tried "tweaking" the track help make it more enjoyable for the guests when I finally open the park.
