Introducing the all new Skydive roller coaster. Dive in three different fashions all in one action packed ride! It features a below vertical drop, a dive loop, an Immelmann, and a horseshoe turn to complete the ride for a total of four inversions.

I enjoyed this ride thouroghly.

There was 2 things I noticed though:
1.This ride should be running 3 trains, not two.
2.The first drop in the back was insane, too insane.

It's a great layout, just compact it a bit. Too many transition areas.

I don't think I like the Immelmann exiting that high still. But that's just me.

It had several major issues.

- There were many rough transitions. Try using much smaller track segments and using the smooth feauture. Also work on heartlining.

- The ride was over supported in some areas, but under supported in most. Also the flanges were a bit odd in some places.

- A few of the turns were very oddly shaped, try re-working them a bit.

It needs some tweaking. The photo you posted looks nice, but the ride was not on par. Just work on it a bit.

And was it me, or were those brake fins familiar... :wink2:

Okay, I'm not that great with the block thingies yet, still figuring that out.

When I was making it I was beginning to feel clustered so I had to push it out a little.

Yea, I realize it is a bit different but I like the effect it has more than dropping down after.

Fixed, sorry.

When I work with small segments I get lots of bumps, they are so annoying and I can't get rid of them. Still getting the hang of the supports, that was my first effort at a custom supported ride, all I did was click flange so I had no control over where it flanged. I worked on the turns a lot, they were a pain, I thought I had them down, many times smoothing them made them shaped oddly, I had to work around it. Yes they are familiar. :D
