I just can't seem to figure out the suspended coaster. No matter how careful I am, I always end up with a high (or very high) nausea rating (6.5+). The peeps just don't like my suspended coasters.
Anyone know the secret to this style of coaster or have any tips for me?

Not too fast, with lots of turns. You don't want big drops. I usually do a nice curving drop, then come up, go back down a big, do a few big sweeping turns, drop a bit more, more turns, (trees nearby help excitement). The nausea is very hard to avoid, but 6.5 is not bad...they shouldn't be avoiding that. Heck, my best suspended has a nausea of 10.92, but the peeps love it. Excitement:7.09, Intensity: 8.81, 52MPH, 3261 feet long. They should be fine with nausea up to high 9s.
Sorry this doesn't help with the nausea, but suspendeds are inherently nauseating, and you should just shoot for high excitement while keeping the nausea and intensity below 10.

Yeah i can't get the nausea down either, suspendeds just have high nausea i guess.

I think Suspended coasters naturally have a high nausea rating. I don't think I ever achieved one below 6. I have an nicely "Mine-Town" themed Suspened, dubbed Big Foot. It has a nausea of over 10, but the queue is always full. So, don't worry about a nausea rating of over 6. If the peeps aren't riding it, the price could be too high or the intensity could be too high was well.
At high speeds, add a few spaces between curves. Sometimes this helps, sometimes it doesn't!
