Track Description
-Story-
The Shinobi is a highly trained ninja of the Sengoku period. Able to perform inhuman feats such as gliding across tree tops, scaling buildings, zipping through trenches unheard, and acrobatic skill as none have seen before, the Shinobi is rarely defeated. Will you survive your encounter with the famed warrior?

-The Ride-
Shinobi is a custom B&M floorless roller coaster. I aimed to emulate the 2000's era floorless coasters in general while still maintaining a unique structure. The ride borrows elements from several B&M floorless roller coasters such as Medusa, Superman: Krypton Coaster, and Deminator, to name a few. Each one of these rides does something unique that none other does; Medusa has a serpent roll, Krypton coaster has a very unique drop and extra turn element interacting with the cliff, Hydra has everything, and Shinobi has a floating zero-go roll. I wanted the roll to start sooner and end later than on other B&M's as a stand-out. The idea here being the movement of the Shinobi plays into the element shape, leaping over the garden, and scaling the buildings, where the leap is meant to feel like slow motion. The final helix would also emulate a wall run of sorts, with extra hard g-forces to emphasize the skill and strength of the ninja warrior.

Technique: As always very well done here. Very smooth overall. Only I thought the shaping of the Sea Serpent roll was a bit odd so i looked up a POV of Medusa for comparison. Apparently B&M actually shaped it like that! Kudos from me!

Adrenaline: Nice flow of elements and it kept it's speed till the very end!

Uniqueness: Classic B&M is not that unique. I like the theme of the ride though and how you did the queue line!

Realism: Could be an actual coaster. Very well done!

Rider Value: Who doesn't like a classic B&M? Would definitely ride over and over!

I had a hard time because my computer is so bad, I had to run it in a very tiny window. Anyway, I can tell you did a fantastic job; very well done!

I feel like it's realistic and the technique is good. Definitely a fun ride. Not the most unique, but that's not the goal here. And it provides value

This ride is really close to perfection:I mean maybe not the most original one but impressively realistic.
A classic B&M floorless that fits perfectly in an existing park!
Smooth,fast and exciting
I absolutely loved the first drop (I can imagine riding it on the last row)
An interesting interaction with the gardens completely different from the "mechanical"aspect B&M coasters have! (most of them are built on cement with a very poor theming)
I based an entire park on Japanese theme so,what to say,it never gets me tired.

Amazing job
