Has anyone built a successful 4-D coaster?

I've been trying since last thursday to build a successful 4-D coaster but, its always to extreme. Has anyone built a successful 4-D? If so can you give me some tips.

I haven't but I would try not to do to many extreme manuevers.

Yes, I built one. I started mine out like X, then it was all mine. I tried to post it, but something is not working. As soon as I find out what's wrong, I will post it on the game part in here!

My 4-D's so far haven't been to extreme, they've all been under 10 easily, they just don't have high enough excitement. (I actually had one as low as 2.32!) My main goal with the 4-D's is to raise the exceitment level. Lay of the wacky spinning seats a bit and start simple. Once you get a basic design, add to it and see what raises the intensity and what doesn't. It should almost work itself out.

I've made them not too extreme by not making them 200 ft. When you go that big it is hard to keep it within the g-force limitations. Also, keep the backs to the ground at the bottom of big drops. Finally, make sure you are comfortable with the rotation system, always know which way the cars will be facing while you are builing.

For my first one, I scored an excitment rating of 7.23 and and intensity rating of (drumroll) 9.99 :). The peeps go on it but still like Intmain giga/hyper with 14 seconds of airtime better. ;)

I think the key is to do gradual seat rotation, and when making the pull outs and pull ups to veritcal make them longer and gradual as well.

I have the same problem. The only successful 4-D coaster I've built is "X, J.R." (you know, like Goliath, J.R.) which is a small little thing, but because of it's smallness I got to make the seats spin many times.:)

I built one last night and it had an intensity of 9 and an exciement of 7. It was also a mobius racer.

I'll get a good one working by the time the contest ends...that Pinball machine is MINE!

As someone said, don't build them 200 feet, try around half that... and as someone else already said, gradual seat rotation is key, don't go from -180 to +450 in two sections of track. I only rotate one section of track by one increment (for example 0 to 45 in one section).

One time I forgot to put back the rotation to 0 degrees, WOW! It had an intensity of like 20, but it also did like 50 flips in a row! Carazy!
