Actually, The Son of Beast's loop wasn't the problem and the loop wasn't brutal at all. In fact it was quite smooth. The problem and the reason why the loop was removed is because the engineering of the wooden structures was poorly done which caused an incident in 2006 where some of the wood split in one of the bowl sections and caused a train to stop. So the solution was to get lighter trains that did not stress the wood as much. Because of the lighter trains, the coaster was having problems completing the circuit so they had to remove the loop to fix this. So ironically, the loop had to be removed because everything else was poorly designed. But the loop itself was okay. Evenutally, the ride closed because it was an engineering disaster, not because wooden coasters shouldn't have loops.

agreed I was just about to write this after hearing him saying the loop was brutal I'm like what I got livid lol he giving false information and they took down the loop because they made the trains lighter and slowed downed the train resulting in the train not being able to successfully go through the loop.

panacoaster Yep, it's a myth that I've been hearing a lot ever since the ride was closed. Living near the park, I had the opportunity to ride Son of Beast over 50 times and I can tell you the problem with that ride was never the loop. It was the incredibily shaky bowl sections especially the first one. The loop was the smoothest part of the ride. I think that myth is the reason why we haven't seen any looping wooden rollercoasters since, outside of the RMC's which don't have looping inversions and aren't traditional woodies. We may never see a traditional woodie looping coaster again I fear because the RMC's are so good and a park would rather just make one of those because it is perceived as safer by the public and no park wants their new ride to be compared to Son of Beast.

Ah, thanks. Then I suppose it may also be a problem of public perception that 6/4-seater woodies can't invert. I still see many people being strangely worried that lapbars aren't a proper protection on inverting coasters, along with the awful Son of Beast history. Just the read the Wiki, looks like I've helped a stubborn legend of the brutal loop; sorry about that.

Silvarret. When Son of Beast opened, it had custom built trains, not PTC's (6/4 seaters). It's a misperception that coasters aren't safe with just lap bars...insurance companies and law makers made it an issue...in my opinion. Especially in sue happy USA, where I live. I love your work, keep up! I will add, I do not believe there has been a wooden coaster with PTC's that inverted.

Awesome tutorial; I cannot wait to get started on my own Planet Coaster rides in the future. Keep up the great work!

Many people can create really good Roller Coasters in "Planet Coaster" like Silvarret does, but that doesnt really mean that they will be able to design and lead a roller coaster project in real. Because there are a lot of more values to consider, when you are designing a roller coaster, than you are able to define and get while you are building one in "Planet Coaster". "Planet Coaster" seems indeed very complex when you are looking at it with a simplistic view, but in comparison to the requirements of the reality, it is very simple structured actually. Which doesnt mean that the game is bad. Its a really good game, but it doesnt reflect the process of designing a roller coaster in reality. Eventually only from the "appearance" perspective, but thats it.

Thanks for this. I got Planet Coaster a week ago and I am enjoying it a lot- I haven't been on a roller coaster since I was a kid, and having the perspective from someone who knows his coasters is really helpful.

Just had a watch through this series of videos. So glad you made it, not because I wanted to know how to make coasters, but just to see what's going through your head when you make yours. Very similarly to me, it's not merely about the height and the maximum speed and general stats, it's about the forces that the riders will actually feel, and also keeping up the illusion of speed throughout an entire layout. Very interesting, and I hope to see more of this planet coaster college series for more different types of coasters.

Wow, from watching your planet coaster videos, I've definitely improved and I'm sure as this series goes on, I'll learn a bunch more. Really excited for this series!

Thank you very much for this video -- and the series in general -- Silvarret. I've been looking to your videos for ideas for a long time now, but I've always come across more intimidated than inspired. But this video really helps Planet Coaster newbies like me with the basics -- smooth tool, the reasons behind your decisions, etc. Thank you!

Wow, that worked so well! It's really smooth and never did seem like it slows down. Amazing job, brb making coaster myself now!

Thank you so very much. I've been wanting a video like this for the longest!

Wow the coaster tools in this game look awesome, makes RCT3 look so limited in terms of how creative you can be with track pieces. Think I might get this game tomorrow! Keep up the great videos, they're super fun to watch; even from someone who doesn't own the game!

hey! been watching a couple of your videos and they've been really helpful. What I like most about your tutorial videos of different coasters is that you'll explain the common elements to expect from each coasters (in the case of wooden coasters: double ups & downs, etc) which are helpful for inexperienced builders like myself. Without these guidance I'll usually just lay the tracks around without a clue so please keep up with it :).

Hi, just wanted to tell you that I thought this was a great tutorial! I'm fairly good with making smooth coasters already, but I appreciate the nitty-gritty detail you went into describing things, like the tiny slope at the rear of the station, etc. You have good delivery of your information for the video as well. It's always a plus when the teacher is clear and precise.

Great start to the new series Silvarret! i hope it works out for you, I look forward to more videos, keep up the good work.

Amazing, thank you Silvarret

Really helpful, quick, no unnecessary information. I was struggling to build wooden coasters, and kept getting really crap ratings. This helped so much, thanks a lot!

Yay keep the tutorials coming!

Great tutorial! I had no idea you had to keep clicking on the smooth tool. I thought you clicked once and it did what it needed to do. Thank you for sharing these tidbits with the game. I look forward to the next video! I've love to see one of each coaster. :)

Amazing job helping the community with this tutorials silvarret!

Tiny feedback: I would have liked to see the excitement, fear, nausea ratings at the end and maybe a quick look at the relevant heatmaps.

Great idea for a series!

Finally a smooth rollercoaster. A lot of coasters I see on youtube have great potential but are all too "violent". Well done!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I can't wait to utilize your tips once I get the game :)

Heb em eergister gehaald en nu tutorials!! goeie timing silv :)

Awesome Video! I'd love to see more of these tutorial videos :)

These trains are called PTC, because they are built by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters. They offer two-bench and three bench (shown here). The lap bars shown here are the individual ratcheting kind, which are the more modern style. Some trains come with headrests, and some do not (no headrests is generally the more traditional look). Fun fact: PTC used to offer trains with a single-position lap bar (lovingly referred to as "Buzz Bars") but these are increasingly less common. One excellent example of buzz bars is the Phoenix at Knoebels, which allows for massive airtime throughout the entire back half of the ride. The individual ratcheting bar generally aren't as loose. Thanks for the videos, don't even have the game yet, but they're great to watch

Finally! I can take my creativity of Nolimits and use it in Planet Coaster! This is actually very similar to Nolimits, but with a more friendly interface. It's going to be nice to have the option to use the micro grid angle snaps in combination with the open movement system and I think that having that hybrid is fantastic!

id love to see more of these.

Thanks for this college, it is very cool and the tips are very usefull (for the smooth tool for example) !

Please keep this series going, I NEED YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

nice I like the college concept. keep it up!

Son of Beast is probably the most painful coaster I've ever been on. I thought I was going to break my back the whole time. And that was after they removed the loop. Really happy that wooden coasters have come a long way, I used to hate them because they always hurt me, but the newer ones are very smooth and a whole lot of fun! El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jersey is my absolute favorite!

Then you haven't been on the steel coaster at the New York New York in Vegas. An absolute travesty of coaster creation. Uncomfortable plastic seats, For a steel coaster the turns were horribly jagged and not smooth, and at the end of it my back and neck ached.

Awesome tutorial dude, I know what I'm spending some time doing tonight.

Thank you for making this, I've wanted something like this, and who better than Silvarret?

This is great. Being one that has limited experience with riding roller coaster but always finding them fascinating despite, this is very helpful. I hope you do the Hybrid wood-steel coasters. I hope you build one like Mjolnir that works with the landscape. I have never heard of Hybrid Wood Steel coasters until this game, but I very fascinated with them so hopefully you will go into an indepth tutorial how those are made. Anyways, awesome video. Keep up the great work. (Maybe teach us how to make a decent plaza too, eh? Haha)

I would looooove to see you building a dark ride!

Hello silv, I once rode on the "son of beast" I was a little young but I remeber the intensity of that ride. I'd just like to say I'm excited for this series! Btw have you ever been to kings island in Ohio?That is the only park I've ever been to.

Honest to goodness, I am relieved to see you doing something like this...

Awesome video ! Will this series only be about coaster or will you do any theming/building tutorials ?

Nit Picker The 6 seat trains were made by Premier, the 4 seat trains that were used after the loop was removed were Gerstlauer trains.

Honestly what I probably would have done myself, after that first big banked turn at the end of the skyline, is have a fast and low sidewinder section where the coaster basically just twists and turns in and out of itself and goes up and down at the same time. That's probably one of my favorite things that wooden coasters do, cuz it gives a sense of bombing down a hilly twisty mountain road at breakneck speed.

Thanks i learned a lot. Bedankt Silv.

Hey Silv, i was wondering if you could make a tutorial of main streets and park entrances? I feel those are the most stressful part of making a park. Love the new series, any new planet coaster content is welcome!

Great tutorial, wooden coasters can be one of the more challenging coasters to create in game when it comes to making them feel real. I personally always just tell myself that all my wooden coasters are of the Intiman varriey and will age well. And to be fair considering the max drop angle of the in game woodies, that is a fair assumption.

I loved it.

Awesome video! I really hope to get Planet Coaster at some point! (btw those are PTC trains I believe)

you are a god among ... coasterbuilders I guess.. I started 4 coasters and they are neckbreaking , too tight or with a lot of space inbetween , looking foreward to see every single video of yours , have a sub

Thank you and Phew my wooden coaster follows all these principles and I was going off of a memory many, many years ago. However I didn't know about the block brakes and being able to add second train, I have a slight incline going into my station so I only have 1 trim near the end, I may have to alter that, which is fortunate as it's the easiest section to alter cosmetic wise. It might also be useful to note that the amount of cars in the train seriously affects whether it will make the full distance and ride quality and something worth adding to your otherwise excellent guide.

Thank you! Good point, I'll take that for some future tutorials. Car count should be a thing anyway for these tutorials - most coasters have their usual car count set in stone, it's very awkward to see people make e.g. floorless coasters with 3 cars a train.

more of this series!

Wow this is great! Hopefully it will enable new creators to create realistic and creative coasters :)

Here is another tip for making smoother hills. Delete them and auto-complete. Go to the top of the hill, and to the bottom of the hill and delete that part. Then auto-complete, it's quicker there is no smoothing button involved, and it always works great for me. If it is a lift hill, start where the chain stops and end at the very bottom of the hill, delete and auto-complete. I try not to use the smooth tools whatsoever, but I do on every coaster in certain spots. I think when they are too smooth they lose realism. I did read the comment from Nit Picker saying the coaster you were talking about wasn't brutal. There is a tip to brutal coasters as well. The Mean Streak at Cedar Point was a very brutal coaster, until I learned how to ride it. If you press your knees into the lap bar, most of brutal of that track goes away. And, it becomes a decent ride, though it is no longer there. When you ride an Arrow coaster, you do the same kind of thing. You push yourself up into the harness, and you won't shake around too much and they become a lot more fun. Stand up coasters, if you find them brutal there is one trick everyone knows, bend your knees a little when sizing the seat, but that doesn't do much. The trick to riding a stand up coaster, is pressing yourself into the harness by standing on your tippy toes. And almost all the brutal from that goes away. The trick is to be secure, so if you press yourself into the harness, your body will stay in place instead of shaking all around, and hurting when you are done. That is my tip from a guy riding rollercoasters for over 40 years.
