Shearwater Run (Gravity Group)

Don’t forget to leave a positive rating!

It was long overdue, but I made a new coaster! I've been bouncing between 3 different new coasters to share, but I've finally gotten one finished and ready to go. I opted to go very light on theming (if any) in order to have a new ride ready to go sooner. I also wanted to explore a very different idea and put some philosophy into the ride (yup). The "theme" is meant to be "have fun while you can". For example, life is said to be short and you should enjoy every minute, so the ride tries to reflect that in its layout. What could've been a boring turn or dip into a lift hill, has a fun turn, dive, airtime hill, and lateral-filled turn. Maybe you don't want to know where you're going at times, like a night ride. The drop could've been a normal drop, but instead it's actually a double down. Like life, the pacing could have it's ups and downs, but instead it's very much a fun, fast-paced run for almost the entire time. The ride makes the most of every bit of energy. Have fun while you can.

If you've seen my other coasters, then you know that I always give them a very over-the-top amount of scenery and push realism as much as possible. I've decided to switch it up and dial back the detail just a little for this one, so that those with lower-end PCs can experience one of my rides without lag or lowering quality settings.
