I guess I just don't see why the whole thing is staying so low to the ground and ending with so much speed left over. Assuming that picture shows nearly the full ride, I don't see any large hills or even airtime hills. This is just my opinion, so take it as you will, but I would redo the layout to make it more compact and have airtime. Maybe an out-and-back layout would work nicely.

The first curve actually goes up to more than half of the first drop's height.

The reason why there's no airtime is because this coaster is supposed to be based off of a Giga coaster I've seen which only has large curves near the ground. I wanted this coaster to maintain high amounts of speed for most of the ride. Also, I was off about how the coaster averages around 60-70mph. I just recently check how fast the coaster goes around the curves and it averages around 45-60mph. It's still fast but not as fast as I thought it went.

Alright sure, it's up to you I was just telling you my own preference. I'm sure even if that coaster stays near the ground it probably has at least one bunny hill, like Intimidator 305.

Yeah, I'll still take your thoughts and consider changing a few thing with the coaster.

is it planet coaster related or were they just really vague about it

It's Planet Coaster related but they're being very vague about it. It's probally going to be a paid DLC for waterparks since these are the same people who worked on RCT3 and all of the expansion packs for RCT1&2.

Wesley Williams · June 02, 2017, 02:29:09 PM

Yeah a Soaked!-like expansion pack is very likely. That's probably why updates have been somewhat slow and small recently. Everyone is going to gobble it up too, waterparks are loads of fun.

Dark X-rane · June 02, 2017, 02:35:32 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if one of their other DLCs will be a Zoo expansion pack aswell.

Wesley Williams · June 02, 2017, 02:42:48 PM

Sure, following the Soaked! then Wild! paradigm would be an obvious move for Frontier. Honestly, I'm hoping that they do something along the lines of shows + parades + fireworks as well though (maybe hotels too?).
