How to make a REALISTIC COASTER - The Complete Guide - Planet Coaster Tutorial

[@NicRifter]

You have reeled me back into coaster making and have inspired me to build more realistic and think more about layout. Thanks for the tutorial mate. A loving sub and likes for U my dude..!

[@CorvusCoasters]

Thank you so much! So glad it's inspiring for you :)

[@flipperion]

Realism tip: if you're making an Intamin launched coaster remember to put emergency brakes at the end of the launch.

Is this an Intamin thing? I only just learned about them back in 2017 (Thanks Maverick @ Cedar Pointe!) Before, I've seen an Aero Dynamic/Velkoma kinda guy until 2017. Intamin really know how to make a VERY aerobatic coaster and know how to make a slow, low attitude coaster feel like Mach 3! I love it! Though, after riding my first RMC (Steel Vengeance) I realize that RMC has stepped into the ring and declared war with Intamin. RMCs are literally the embodiment of a crazy train! 😍

[@samurai5589]

I don't think Intamin still does this cause lSMs can also slow down the train in an emergency

[@flipperion]

@@samurai5589 no it's still does that now days. LSM can slow down the train but not as quick as magnetic brakes. On some modern launches, like on batman Gotham city escape, the launch is alternated with lsm and magnetic brakes

[@kremink]

​@@flipperionlsms can 100% slow down a train enough it's just cheaper to have copper fins and lsms exchanging at the end

[@flipperion]

@@kremink it can't if it's inclined

[@Thirteen-zn4nk]

I would love to see a dueling coaster tutorial or a dark ride tutorial if possible i liked your coaster tutorial it was very well made

[@CorvusCoasters]

Cool ideas, thank you :)

[@noname117spore]

So some tips to make coasters smoother, from what I've found: 1: Smooth starting from the back of the coaster going backwards along the track, then once at the station reverse and go forwards. Repeat process multiple times until it's smooth, and don't overdo it. 2: Manually heartline things instead of using the ingame tool. This is tricky to do, especially coming out of elements, and may require some adjustment once the track has been placed down, but it typically results in smoother tracks in my experience. Also, I've found 5m track segments smooth better than 4m for some reason.

[@KrimsonStorm]

I also noticed that about 5m segments. I thought I was crazy!

Actually the reason why the top hat is not supported is that it's shapped pretty much like a bridge and thus acts like a bridge, A curved shape like this is extremely strong so it does not need more supports

If you use the Realism mod, you can use the Intamin Prototype Wing Coaster and switch out the trains to the Mack Hyper Trains to create a realistic Intamin Blitz similar to Velocicoaster

[@CorvusCoasters]

Yeah that track type is the larger one like Hyperion whereas the Velocicoaster one is smaller and doesn't perform well with the Mack trains making it jittery

I do agree with the rhythm with the banking, but imo there is a caveat. Zero-G Stalls, I personally prefer when a zero-g stall exists the same direction it enters, but that is more of a personal preference thing.

Yeah preference definitely has some to do with it, but that's what makes everyone's rides unique:)
