This is my 2nd Raiders themed coaster. I apologize for not doing 100% custom supports, elements or adding 3d graphics. The screen shot is an 'altered' jpeg image. The wording & logo are not on the game's station, but an example of how I would have did it. Please ride & rate.
Would've served better as a fantasy coaster as this didn't tick any realism boxes. Needs some fixing up in general too but it's an okay effort
Technique Good Things +Passed E-Stop +Custom station was nice - I like that you made the effort to do something different here - check out trackwalkers rides for some ideas about expanding it past just the station! +Support work that you tried was nice - Generally good quality despite not being how Vekoma do their supports +Terraforming effort - It was a bit choppy and felt like the terrain was cut too deep in some places for the sake of the track being there.
Bad Things +Tons of jerks and pumps - the trackwork in general was of poor quality. You need to iron out the jerks and snaps as the track goes through the vertices. Try to alter you designing method so that you don't have vertices defining a change in direction. +G forces in the red - A good deal of this was due to the trackwork. The easiest rule to follow is no red G's - in reality its a bit more complex than that but its a good rule to design by. +Prefabs just didn't cut it for what the track was doing in places. More custom supports!
Adrenaline Good Things +I liked that you kept the speed high through the many launchess. The feet choppers on the inversions were a nice touch as well. +Terraforming added to your score here too - it did add to the adrenaline and feeling of speed.
Bad Things +Ride was a bit too long for my liking - got a bit boring towards the end. +Something other than 90 degree turns, cobra rolls and heartline rolls would have been nice.
Uniqueness +Clearly it was nothing like the style of rollercoaster you chose so technically it gets good marks.
Realism You need to look at the shaping of real rollercoasters and how they are designed and supported. Unfortunately the ride was completely realistic and in my honest onion would have been far better suited to being a fantasy style rollercoaster.
