Good ride. bad ratings...

Have any of you made a ride that would be awesome in real life but got really crappy ratings in RCT2? Well I have.

In my upcoming park, Im building an invert and it would be totally awesome in real life but it got really bad ratings in RCT! I think that sucks!

I think Im just going to keep it cause I think it is cool. But are there any trainers yet to change ride ratings?

Thanks in advance! :)

It can be anything. Add trims, make sure transfers are smooth, etc. Even midcourses can help you regulate speed, which is usually the case.

The ratings in RCT are pretty accurate. I'm not sure what you mean by "bad ratings", but I'm guessing low excitement/high intensity and/or high nausea. Basically you're ride isn't as great as you think. It might look cool, but there's WAY more to making a good ride than making it look cool.

Trainer to change ratings...heh.

I agree with Gonchar. "Looking cool" doesn't always mean great ride. Take Son of Beast for example.

Plus you say you're building an inverted coaster. They always have high nausea and intensity ratings.

On Inverted, the problems I always have are the lateral G's. Make sure that you are entering your cobra rolls, batwings, sidewinders and corkscrews at appropriate speeds (usually 30-38 mph is good)

Ultimate Coaster, I wouldn't go that high in those types of elements it will really add to the intensity level too much. I suguest going between 15-30 MPH in those types of elements.

you wouldn't make it through going that slow

I built an MF recreation in the coaster designer & a funny thing happend,if it runs 3 trains it gets an extreme intensity rating but if I run only 2 trains it gets a more reasonable rating of very high.

The top speed on this thing is 100 mph with an average of 34 mph in some spots.

Yeah, thats what I said after I read that comment too.

What I think he meant by "Trainer to change ratings" is that in former RCT trainers, you could do "Macho Guests" which made them ride your rides. I'd like a trainer to include that again, just for those coasters that look cool, but no one rides.
