Decided to start posting a few basic coasters I've been messing around with. These aren't going to be super detailed in scenery and trackwork, just simple fun rides I made. I hope you like them and don't take it too seriously.
This one is meant to be a hillside Gravity Group Timberliner coaster like the new one at HotGo Park in China.
Anyways on to the ride. There are a couple things I didn't like about it but it's mostly nitpicking and "I would have ____ instead" since I don't have much to complain about: 1. That S-turn drop thing after the first drop. I would have made the banking gradual and continuous between the two, but I'm not you so oh well. Nothing unsound in it, it's just a preference thing. 2. I would have enclosed the overbank in supports since RMC generally does that and they're working with a more rigid track than you are, but I'm not an engineer. 3. The crest into the final brakes was a bit intense. You really couldn't have made it a bit less violent? I know you know better. 4. Supports look like you didn't touch them beyond the autosupport generator. You track description goals mention supports weren't a goal however so oh well. It at least appears you reinforced a couple crossovers so IDK.
Overall the trackwork was pretty solid and the G's seemed about right until that crest into the final brakes, however I really don't know jack about wooden rides for the most part. Ride was set up in a nice environment and it felt like what you were aiming for. It's nice to look at, rides well, and I could usually tell where inspiration was coming from. It's also nice to see a terrain coaster that isn't "trying too hard" to use the terrain. Overall a great job on the ride and I hope you post more in the future.
This is going to be a short review cause there's not much I can suggest improvements on, this is just a really good coaster. I didn't notice any bad uncomfortable G-Forces throughout the ride either so this ride would be pretty comfortable to ride.
The best part of your coaster was the pacing, it started off fast and intense and stayed that way until the end of the ride. That plus the unpredictable layout and how well used the terrain was (I love terrain based rides) makes this one of my favorite woodies on this site.
