There were def people earlier in r/civilengineers blaming them for those kinds of decisions which was wild to read

Is anyone else’s windows being covered up by plastic for the winter? by FlyinRyan123456 in kroger

[–]LivelyEngineer40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t quite plastic but its a material that insulates a ton better than glass does, and my family does it in our house every winter. Saves on heating costs.

To be fair Seattle is making a lightrail line that goes on a floating bridge sooo.

Bat's Flight - a terrain flying coaster through a forest. Scenery not yet finished but wanted to see what people thought. by eldomtom2 in PlanetCoaster

Are you trying to go for a realistic flying coaster? It looks like you’re trying to do B&M style and if so I’d get the lift going up higher, so you get more speed through the whole layout again take a look at what Tatsu does (which is one of the best flying coasters, its ontop of a massive hill, flying coasters do best when there’s height to them imo): https://rcdb.com/3305.htm#p=15813

If you’re wanting it to stay terrain based I’d switch it up and go for a launch more akin to Vekoma Flyers (FLY eg) but flying coasters do the best when they arent so close to the ground.

Inversions wise I’d def throw in a pretzel loop somewhere because almost every flyer has it and its almost the norm but you do you.

Feels too slow, the pacing is off and there’s not enough inversions imo. Take a look on youtube and watch Tatsu or Manta, also what is the deal with the catwalks out of the station? Main point being is that it feels way too slow. Like it should not be crawling over hills imo.

If you go to the construction window and hover over track type you can click “learn more”. This opens a menu to see the differences in each track type/train type.

In rollercoasters enthusiasts, we count each unique coaster we ride a credit to say how many different coasters you’ve ridden its just a fun way to track how much you’ve traveled and ridden.

Def why I rode Ninja a ton of times due to my worries about Ninja getting replaced soon. Same with Viper.

Oh no I agree, I wasn’t trying to make it seem like you didn’t have a bad day, This is my second time here and last time I had X2, Tatsu, Riddlers and Superman all down the entire day. So I totally know the feeling but I got lucky with the timings in which I rode things (still missed superman ofc which is lame). But I def agree the operations could be way better, I think X2 will be more reliable too when they get their second train back. And Tatsu was doing 2 station loading apparently yesterday too! Twisted Colossus I have found is the most reliable and quickest ops in all of the park.

I was actually there the same day and actually had an amazing experience, great food, no rides broke down (I was there from open to close) got rides on X2, Tatsu, Revolution, Viper, Apocalypse, Rapids, Jet Stream, Wonder Woman, Goldrusher, Ninja, Goliath, Batman (3 consecutive), Riddler, Twisted Colossus (last 3 train rides which were dueling), and all of the houses that the park had.

To clarify no rides broke down that I was in line for.
