Vibrant - A Compact Launched X Coaster

Park Image

And so the saga of my rediscovering NoLimits continues with my (technically 3rd) attempt at a design. I had built an aggressive, Hydra-inspired floorless but there is just far too much about it that I'm not happy with to feel comfortable uploading it

This is Vibrant (2 gud at names) - An X Car Coaster with a steep LIM launch right out of the gate. I was making an attempt to pack as many inversions in a small space as I could and look good doing it. Much happier with this than my first uploaded ride, as it has less g-force problems and a more intricate layout.

The first thing that's new about this is it's almost entirely custom supported. I spent over 6 hours disexperiencedly tinkering with the support system and figuring out how to use it all. There's some bits I'd change or am not happy with but they overall came out good (especially the net structure on the right side of the launch. But geez, never again, that probably took me over an hour alone.)

X Car Coasters were only just coming onto the scene when I stopped designing in NL, or at least only first started noticably coming onto the scene then, so if anything is out-of-accordance with the X Coaster style feel free to give me some feedback as this type of ride is new to me.

My only gripes with this one would be some of the inconsistent detailing on my own support structures, particularly related to flanges, as well as some minor smoothness and one nasty g-force issue that is also sort of required for this layout.

Enjoy!
