Get ready to ascend to a higher plane of existence on this one-of-a-kind multi-launching exacoaster that is essentially a taller, faster, longer, and more intense Falcon's Flight.
After a warm-up session, riders launch vertically up the side of a cliff where they can take in the view.
After a brief respite, the vertical drop off the cliff leads into a tunneled downward launch that cranks the speed up to 160 mph.
Remember when I said before that the massive airtime hill was 651 feet? Well, I lied. It's actually 652 feet! I realized a bit too late that the 1.5m heartline (which is what the Mack trains use) might actually be too high for the Intamin trains so I ended up using 1.2m instead.
The iconic 652 foot sustained airtime hill (which doubles as the structure for the skycoaster attraction underneath it) is followed immediately by the world's fastest barrel roll.
The ride concludes with a vertical twisted spike that you spiral down backwards in total weightlessness. Despite needing to follow along closely with the part of the video tutorial for the script generator going over how to make a swing brake, ending it that way felt easier and more climactic than just making a series of huge elements and wide turns to burn off speed until the brakes, which is hard to do hand-built, and FVD++ trades one set of headaches for another, particularly when I haven't used it in a while.
The other coasters in this map are mainly just BG scenery, to make it a little less empty looking, and I will not be showcasing POV's of them. I didn't really wanna make a whole park but I didn't really want it to be in the middle of nowhere either, so I compromised.
