Thanks guys! Justin, it's fixed now.

Here's a huge update that will blow your mind (I guess)

You ran out of speed very fast.

You ran out of speed very fast.

Anything else to say that could help me? Tips, constructive comments. These kind of comments are useless.

I think I can hear the train hitting the cross ties. Is there any way to fix that? Idk. The trackwork looks very good though. It seems to me that the turn after the big valley is killing a lot of speed aswell. Is it possible to raise it?

I know that the speed is killing because of the car hitting the crossties but as long as it makes it through the layout, I don't really care.

Maybe some form of elastic reinforcement to keep the front bogie stable? Like a rubber band on each side anchored to the static bogie....but not too tight-

That might help. I'm not entirely sure.

Indeed you have blown my mind JP! I think the speed actually looks fine even though it is a bit slow, but as long as it is fully operating I could care less.

[commando]

The speed is actually very good. It goes through the layout at a very realistic speed and looks great! As long as it makes it through the layout dont change it. The coaster looks great JP. Keep it up!

It came from a kid who thinks our demographic likes rap and fit over 2000 posts in one year, are you really surprised?

Shaping is excellent, supports look great, however I do have some concern on whether or not you will be able to make it back to the station. I trust you have it worked out, though.

[JPCoaster]

Thanks everyone! These are great comments DDRman, you were right. The car was not able to make it back to the station so I decided to make a new car. The front wheels are now closer to the back wheels. I was very very surprised about the result, take a look at the video to see that! Oh!...and...I forgot...This coaster is done!

Lookin' Epic!

wow awesome job on this guy can´t wait for the final vid!

[Jumpge]

Nice work on this JP! The speed is definitely super realistic and to my liking for the size of this ride. Looking forwards to more fast builds from you in the future!

[finrollercoaste09]

Looks fantastic ride JP!

[SwimZONE]

I'm Sorry Maarten, but that's better than your mouse run. Looks really nice.

[DDRman732865]

Very cool, glad you got it to work.

[ickus305]

Excellent Job.

The speed looks really good, and the shaping looks very good also.

[LaMbChOpZ]

Looks Great!!

I really like the lack-of-supports you have for the ride (thanks to it being a recreation) and the speed throughout looks good. As said by others, your shaping is also very, very nice. A tutorial on the cars would be great too

Edit: I'm not sure if you are, but if you could have 4 cars on the track, it would make this ride even more realistic.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

The only way you could improve this ride is by adding more cars, like Lamb said. Everything else is flawless!
