Lab 37 - Single Rail Coaster for the Build Challenge

Excitement: 87. 8 (Extreme) Intensity: 69. 9 (High) Nausea: 32. 7 (Medium) Approximate Cost: ~$12,953. 43 Make sure you place at correct height - it'll need to go a unit or two below ground for everything to line up perfectly. If the base of the station building is touching the ground, it's at the correct height A single rail coaster I made as apart of the build challenge. Wanted good stats and to keep the cost very affordable as a benefit of this coaster is the low coast for big thrills. Because of this, I went for an inclined lim launch with an airtime section. Stats came out solid, especially for something so neat and compact. Theming is simple sci-fi/alien planet theme, with the station going for a lab motif. The style is a semi-realistic mix between simple stylistic choices from the few single-rail coasters that now exist and some intamin and hybrid stylings to fill the gaps in that stylistic knowledge. In all the ride has 3 inversions, including a rare inclined loop several ejector airtime moments, and lots of high speed-turns and helixes. One of the biggest issues of the single-rail coaster is it's low capacity and therefore low throughput, so I designed this ride not only with solid stats but also 4 trains with a theoretical passengers/month of 115. It also uses an onload/opffload double station and several block sections for maximum safety and efficiency. 5-6 trains, though available don't really increase throughput because the waits on the blocks outweigh the increased capacity past 4 trains. One annoyance to deal with is that when I'm building scaffolds and maintenance stairs existing supports love to not disappear and instead clip. Some kind of support eraser might not go amiss. The station building came out better than most buildings I attempt. They're not really my forte but I did my best. If I had a gripe with it, the front side is a bit plain since it's right up against the border of the bounding box.
