Favorite Coaster
I was just wondering what your favorite coaster to build with is. By that I mean most efficient, exciting, intense, or whatever your standards are. There's definately a lot to choose from out there!
Mine's the Steel mini car ride one. You can really build nice, compact, high capacity coasters with good ratings. What's yours?

My favorite type to work with is the Schwarzkopf style looping coasters. They seem to have the cleanest transitions in the banked turns and are easy to make realistic looking coasters.
Running a close second is any type of B&M style coaster with the exception of inverted. The intensity on the inverts always gets too high if you make them too much like real ones.

I find myself building Woodies and B&M coasters a lot, and lately I've been doing quite a few Giovanola Hypers. I can't stand the Intamin Hypercoasters in the game, though. Steep drops and overbanked turns are the signature elements of an Intamin hyper, and sadly, they weren't included.

Never Has Gravity Been So Uplifting.
As far as the game goes, I still like my woodies, something about the big old wood supports and structures look beuatiful to my eye.
That, and boy do I go to town on go-kart tracks. I use them to fill small places of land in my parks. In a money scenario, they are cheap, but bring in cash and peeps.
For fun I look to several types of coasters. I would have to say my favorite has to be the Wooden Coaster. I love making historical looking wooden coasters(I am a huge history buff as well as a coaster lover and sometimes those two interests cross).
I also like any of the Schwarzkopf knockoffs in the game. The steel looper and the spiral coasters always look really neat with the graceful swooping curves.
I really never worry about getting super high ratings. I build what I like and I find that for the most part, the peeps tend to like it too. I know a big giga or a big Beemer will get high ratings, but if I dont like the look of it or I dont think I can make it fit, I dont even make a go at it.

I don't know why but I haven't been using the giga as much as I thought i would. I mean it is detailed and all but the drops can't go at an 80 or 90 degree angle and it looks funny. I'm also fed up and sick of the sound it makes when it runs. I hate that steel coaster noise that has been used throughout the RCT generations.
The woodies are great grand and wunderful because they sound and look real and they are pretty cheap.
