The pumps are intended to simulate the jerking of Arrow coasters. The ride is loosely based off Corkscrew at Cedar Point. But honestly, most corkscrew coasters end up the same.

Enjoy and please comment/criticize!

Very nice work! I made an Arrow Corkscrew much like this one, but mirrored. Maybe I will post that someday after I post my next project. ;)

Very very pumpy, even if you were trying to simulate an Arrow. Arrows don't have latteral g spikes of nearly 2 or 3 g's. There are other ways to re-create the "pumps", but it takes alot more work than just leaving it the way you did.

You need to work on smoothing out the transitions, in fact when I used the smooth tool on your coaster it became twice as enjoyable and much more like a real Arrow. The loop was also very very incorrect in profile. The top was flattened out and there were only two vertices in the entire loop. You need at least several more to achieve the correct profile.

Smoothness is an issue, but you also need to work on ride pacing. It was crawling throughout the entire layout. Either raise the lift or tighten up the curves.

I'm not trying to bash your coaster, I'm trying to help you improve your No Limits skills. It was a good concept, but it needs major work.
