Impetus, an Invert by JD

[JD71]

Its around 5375 feet long, 222 feet high. Goes up to 80MPH, with 4.4Gs, and -1.5Gs max.
5 inversions and one heck of a ride.

I present to you, Impetus.

The ride begins with a dark tunneled section, then you're shot out of the dark...

You really need to bank some of the turns more, ESPECIALLY the turn after the first funky immelman element which is taken a tad slow. 1.4 lats on an invert is HUGE. If I were you I would go for little to no lats, which is the most comfortable on inverts. Overall I thought it was pretty solid and I thought the layout flowed from one element to another well.

7/10

^You kinda always want 0 lats, or at least that should be your target, with the exception of elements that are supposed to impose lateral Gs.


The ride was alright. The heartlining was pretty sub-par, and I don't know about heartline rolls on inverts. (Remember, heartline rolls and zero-g rolls are different) Obviously there are rides with it, but I don't see it being an effective maneuver on this type of ride.

Liked the ride, it seemed a little unrealistic, but I thought it was cool. Liked the colors too :cool:
