that side mounted free fall tower looks like a disaster in waiting...

Time is perceived differently for organisms with higher/lower metabolic rates (e.g larger and smaller) apparently if you were small enough to fit inside the model coaster, it would appear to behave like a normal full size coaster. if you were looking up at a human being form the perspective of an ant, you would perceive people walking around in slow motion. This effect works the opposite way too, hence the portrayal of giants and monsters in movies moving slowly. If you were huge, a real life coaster would appear to accelerate rapidly just like a model coaster we see.

Forgive me for how informal this is, but the way smaller rides run faster comes to mind. For example, a coaster dynamics model FLIES through the circuit. I don't know the physics behind that (maybe someone more educated could help me out here), but I'd assume it has something to do with drag or friction levels changing??

Videos of Duel GP, the new ride at the Suzuka circuit:
Looks fun actually. Theme Park University tells us this is not what the Mario Kart attraction will be at Universal. Anyway I would expect a better capacity...

I have no idea what they're saying, but that looks fun.

The ride does look so much taller than it actually is, and with full size trains it looks even more unusual. We may not be used to how a ride as strange as this should look from off-ride

It looks sped up at points, but I think that's because the narrow track width is throwing us off. Remember that it's not 200 feet tall.

I didn't use the "back to zero" for serious designs, but, despite its glitches, I found it convenient for playing around. Rolling 100% back to zero, especially after non-symmetric transitions away from zero, is difficult to do manually.

I know that guy, he is playing coasters and make video’s about it just for fun.

There is a POV of my SS3 entry in the contest playlist.
He also made a video of Soko’s entry but that was more of a showcase, and he gave credit to both.

Edit: I don’t mind him doing this

I like the thing that's flying away at the first hill

We do our best to ignore and exclude uncut POVs of well known coasters or works that clearly don't belong to the person posting it. This particular poster added a shot to it so it was more of a gray area, and yes, you can make a video of someone else's coaster. Giving credit is the proper thing to do. One thing to point out though is that we just don't know every coaster that has ever been made and can't always determine if someone failed to give credit. Please focus your efforts on asking the video poster to update with accurate information.

I see that the poster deleted the video, resolving the conflict this time.

Looks like something that could have been made in Source 2.

Hi

I can't write so I'll just post pictures because that's all you want to see anyway.

Ok bye!!!!

I think it's an optical illusion. The coaster looks like it's on a hillside so where from the camera it looks like the top of the lift slopes down toward the ground, it really is only a slight decline.

Kinda reminds me of Lex Luthor and Zumanjaro, except for where they're attached.
Another unusual tower ride. Actually the ride itself isn't that unusual, but I can't say the same for the restraints.

An unusual drop tower:

I don't know, I like the number of columns in the station. It makes it feel more claustrophobic, which I believe is the intent. Perhaps add some more destruction around the station building (cracks to tease a view of the loading area, broken columns, collapsed window frames), since the rest of the building is in much much better shape than the broken wall in front of it.

Delayed response, but I really like these suggestion. I actually do plan on giving it a bit more of a ruined, decrepit look once the structural aspects are finished and I move into refining the textures.

Looks like there is target practice next door to the coaster. Hope no stray arrows hit the coaster.

Is that a RCT tune that I hear?

And I knew someone will point out the toilet "ride", haha! Well spotted Togo.

Yep, fair enough, carry on. That's absurdly fast, I'm interested as to how they're gonna slow it down since testing rides usually go slower
