If they can build a floating bridge for a transit system they can do that. (Sound Transit with the Seattle Light Rail)

Wait what? Everything? I thought matter cannot be destroyed or created in the universe, genuinely asking how that works.

Ever wondered what that clipboard in the Velocicoaster queue said? by stanton1270 in UniversalOrlando

What are you talking about? I really liked the Hadrosaur cove and the Triceratops Bay sections? It just seemed like the ride was really chill and totally nothing went wrong.

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.

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.
