"trademarks" on you coasters?

is there a certain element that you always add when you build a certain kind of coaster.  Whenever I build steel twisters I use a launched hill to go into some sort of diving loop.  Also, I always have launched lift hills when I build steel twister Hyper because it takes too long for them to get to the top.  I add brakes at the tope of the hill to slow it down so its not to intense though.  So, What do you do?

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes."

on wooden coasters i always make the station up off the ground so i can run it downhill and make it do some stuff before the lift hill

On steel corkscrew coasters I do a twisiting first drop just like Viper at Sfmm

On steel coasters I usually put 4 loops and try to make it like an Anton Schwarzkop coaster with twisting drops,turns and Loops

On wooden Coasters I usually make a coaster go up a hill and then it does a small turning drop to the left and goes about 45 mph, Then it goes up a small hill, Does a tight banked turn and It drops and the speed goes to 50 mph.

I almost always end in a helix. They're usually good for bleeding a few notches off of the speed.

I nearly always start off with an Arrowesque dip or drop, depending on the amount of room I have, and have the lift further into the ride. And for wild mouse coasters, I use only the steep lift, for saving space mostly.

Hey, on the idea of the hyper lift being too slow, just do what I do. I use one launch lift piece for every three chain lift pieces. The train then glides up the lift at 13mph and still sounds like it's using a chain. On my big wooden coasters I almost always use hidden water splash sections as a break run that never fails.

I usually do a dip and turnaround, ala B&M and Arrow. Thats mainly to save space. I also do a helixe at the end every time. Every station is built off the ground and I try to run the track under it once, and by the que if space allows.

Any resemblance to living or
dead people is purely coincidental.

i usually use a launched lift hill on my steel twisters, then at about 25 or 26 height, i make it steeper, so it slows before the huge drop into a large half loop, corkscrew out, and a banked "concourse" of sorts...  it basically burns off some speed then usually drops into some <explicitive>,  before straightening out and heading back to station.

I try to design the steel twisters to look as much like real B&M's as possible.  With the steel corkscrews, I always have one corkscrew go directly into a tunnel.  On wooden coasters I like to have the first drop come around through the lift hill's structure.  I also like to have the track drop underground directly out of the station before the lift.

My trademark for the Steel Corkscrew is the loops,  i alsway make them tall with 2 loops in a row.  Also Pretty much i always have corkscrew(s)  at the end before the brakes.

On Hypers,  bunnyhops with a fantastic helix at the end.  Depends on the park too. 

-----------------

On looping steel twisters, I always have a helix halfway through the ride and another at the end, with the second one closer to the ground. I also usually have the ride go through at least one of the loops.

On hypercoasters, I always have straight first hills, but the second hill is almost always a turnaround hill. The top is usually either a upwards-curving turn followed by a downward curving turn, or a downward-curving turn followed by an upward curving turn, or a banked turn.

I also usually have a big mess of track in the middle of my hypers, so it's hard to follow the track. One other thing I do is have bizarre helicies at the end of my hypers, for example big down small down big down small down big down small down.

She wants seven?!?! LET'S GIVE HER THE SEVEN!!

My trademark on wooden coasters that I always have the bunny hops as going up to 11(on flat 6 land) and then have a steep drop.  On Steel Twisters its a little boost and then add the chain again, and also plenty of hills, most of the time I have at least 11 hills on average for most coaster types.
-----------------
The dunce has spoke!

It mostly depends on what type of coater I am going for or what layout type. I usually like finishing with a lot of speed it makes it look better than a crawl into the brakes, sometimes there is too much speed and I have to get rid of some with a helix. I try to make my coaster look as realistic as possible but still be 'cutting edge'

I usually have a launched lift on B&M hypers. I have steep twisting drops on almost all my steel coasters. It saves alot of room. My coasters also have big pullouts, so I can have awesome coasers with low intensity and nausea.

Bull rides: 103
Batman rides: 61

on steel twister i usually put in a cutback, and on inverts i usually put in a batwing.

I always do a B&M dip on a steel twister, and i never make a million loops, most I'll go is 7, I try to make the twisting drop, but it doesnt look good, maybe it will be a pre-built element in a future rct...(of course, you would adjust the height)I also do a Iron Wolf/Raging Bull type turn out of the station and into a brake, then lift hill, cause it looks exactly like a B&M.

Revolutionary:Thats an excellent idea, it really helps with the brake failures.:)
-------------
Iron Wolf: Can you stand it?

I always make hypers with steel twister instead of corkscrew. Then I usually use the nonlooping car
I also use the launched lift hill enough to get it to the top, so I stop about 2/3 up the hill.

1 word: Realism.

hopes you enjoyed the Dahlonega Mine Train.

i used to stop at 7 inversions cause i couldnt' make a one with anymore that ppl would acctually ride.  but now i make rides with 10 or 11 inversions and ppl ride them more then my 7 inversion coaster.  also on my mega loopers i never repeat a inversion, except i may put interlocking corkscrews.

I always put one downhill track piece before all my lift hills and then do the B&M dip at the top of all my lift hills.
