Tornado - GCI Wooden Coaster - ItsAmaliaB

NOTE: Optimization might not be fantastic!! I apologize in advance if the ride runs poorly on your end!


Description:

This is essentially my ultimate GCI masterpiece. When making this, I set out to make as good a GCI as I could possibly complete in NL2, and I think I put my heart and soul into this coaster. From the very beginning it was definitely a passion project. Being a many years-long GCI fangirl, I've had a sort of obession for all the strange quirks GCIs have. With this layout, I incorporated elements of El Toro (Drop), Gold Striker (First Turn), Mystic Timbers (General Layout Shape), and Troy (Large Floaty Hill and Helix). All of these influences resulted in what I consider to be my favorite and most original GCI layout. This is also my first custom supported GCI, and I used some presets from a previous GCI made by JAKool. I think this whole project turned out well from how I envisioned it, I'm beyond words with satisfaction and happiness with this project, and I'm extremely proud to share it with all of you.

Amazing! Can you do a tutorial on how to get the wood in between the rails since I'm struggling to get my GCI that way, and this is probally the best wooden coaster I've seen in the game.

Ultra faithful to GCI, a fun and well planned environment and layout, and superb surreal elements. Everytime I look into this project I find more details to appreciate, most recently the subtle terrain painting and auto planting. Fantastic work!

Für mich eine 10/10

Der GCI-Flow kommt einfach zu 100% rüber und anders als es mein Vorredner sieht finde ich, dass die Bahn die perfekten G-Kräfte aufweist.

Die Details sind ausgezeichnet! Fühlt sich sehr nach Dollywood an das Ganze.

Danke für diese Bahn!

Truly a remarkable ride! It's very photogenic with all the 3d modeling you added around the ride. Beautiful to wander around at.

building technique: They often say that the GCI style is one of the most difficult to recreate but you mastered it. All of the quirky turns and transitions were there and it's all butter smooth! The support work is great as well. Really captured the style of GCI here.

Adrenaline: Here's where I think this ride could have been a bit better. For a ride with this many out of control looking turns and hills, the g-forces where a bit tame for my liking. Some stronger positives as well as ejector airtime along the way would have made this ride even better.

Theming: As said before, this ride is looking beautiful. It has a great setting!

Overall great job!
