A quick experimentation with Newton. I just wanted to try out Newton and I got this bobsled-esque coaster. It's based off of the Super-G ski races where skiers careen around powerful carving turns and fly over hill-tops. It's G's are high, but in check all the way through. The unique 1.2-G downward launch start simulates the starting gate of a ski racer. Also, since this coaster is an all downhill coaster, the unique 106 mph launch underground sends a shuttle back up to the top while the other train is going down the slope. If this was built at the Vail Back Bowls (location of ride if built), the guests then would ride the chairlift back up to board the incoming shuttle. Anyway, have fun on Super-G!

  • try making a vertical loop with newton.

    ITS IMPOSSIBLE!!

  • Yeah, it's only been done once by entropy himself. I can make the perfect teardrop shape, but I can't get the Z-pattern. That's where the loop becomes practically impossible.

  • A loop is pretty easy and it's been done by track builders other than entropy. If you view my coaster "Small Launched Coaster" (View channel) you can see a good loop.

  • I think that Newton 2 made loop creation easier, if I'm not wrong. Newton 1 gave me and some others a headache though, since there is a small jerk on the vertical part of each side of the teardrop when you try to get the Z-pattern going...

  • No it's not, look at my newest coaster Phantom, it goes upside down, and I used newton

  • We were talking about the vertical loop. You can make dive loops, zero-G rolls, corkscrews, and different "hybrid" inversions easily, but the simple loop is one that just doesn't work properly with Newton. It just doesn't work well at all.

    Basically, you can get the perfect teardrop shape, but the "Z-pattern" when a loop is viewed from the top cannot be achieved (well, it can, but it's extremely pumpy and bad), even when tinkering with the lateral-G settings.

  • I love the concept and terrain following! Very good. 5/5.

  • Loved it! Very original and well designed. 5/5

  • Great coaster. The snow theme is cool!

  • Yeah, it was made pretty fast. I just wanted to see what it was like. I REALLY like it a lot more than handbuilding lol. It's so much easier, in exception to inversions. :)
