I'd add like 20ft to it and make the first airtime hill bigger
I attempted a layout a bit bigger, but found it too big/inaccurate to work with. May tinker with it before starting with scenery however.
That's an awesome layout to work with, good job.
Thank ya!
Pretty good stuff but I hope it's not too slow when coming over those hills?
I was worried about the same thing, especially when I lowered the lift hill the from the first layout I originally made. But if you watch Ghostrider's POV, it's strikingly similar. It slows up in the turnarounds, but it's quick enough to allow for good lateral-g's seen in the real-life POV.
[ntamin22' timestamp='1502486415' post='725182'] Nice work. Ghostrider is the sort of coaster that if it weren't a real ride people would call this layout too cramped and unplausible.
Totally true, I think CCI roller coasters are unusual to recreate in RCT
I notice you're using PTC trains. Ghostrider now uses GCI trains (articulated in RCT2.)
That's true, although I'm thinking more of when it was first built. I used millenium flyers on my Thunderhead near recreation (which I never finished).
it looks like its got no flow at all.
but still, nice job. difficult coaster to rec.
I can see what you're saying. It's really an odd coaster overall, CCI's have never really been known for a good flow, even in real life.
Beginning a near-recreation of a Ghostrider at Knotts using NCSO.

Anyways, I took Brightside's advice and gave it a shot making it a little taller. I think it's significantly better than the shorter version.

thats much better.
has much better flow now.
Beautiful flow. I really want to see this finished, you'll kill it.
