Planet Coaster - Gambit (Part 1) - GCI Wooden Coaster (Timelapse + POV)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Gambit is an attempt to make a Great Coasters International wooden coaster in Planet Coaster. GCI has a unique track shaping and layout design, so aside from reasons of practice for myself, I wanted to make this coaster to test the extend to which you can recreate specific track shaping and coaster manufacturer quirks in the game. It's far from perfect, but I'm quite happy with the final result (even if it took a long time to get there...).
I made this coaster a long time ago - so back then there was no option for lower friction settings yet. Hence the layout slows down much quicker than one would in real life, but the focus of the coaster is on track shaping and achieving an overall GCI 'feel'.

Very nice result! :)
The things that makes GCIs difficult to create, especially without force analyzation, is that banking transitions have constant roll rate and nearly every airtime hill holds constant 0G.
Just letting you know, if your trying to get a realistic GCI layout, have a shed for the brake run. Every GCI has it, maybe with a few exceptions.
The shed would be for the storage/transfer tracks which is another straight segment separate from the terminal brake run. He needs to have that in addition to the brake run he has.
what's in the invisible shed
Wa De totally not just a screen and lights
dont apologise for the coaster nerdgasms... it's very interesting to learn about the design philosophies.
That's something that makes Silv very unique and special
You keep starting these projects but you don't go back to finish old ones *cough cough* Amar City *cough cough* great job though, I like it so far!!!
So true, though Amar City felt like some study work and not like a project
GCI uniquely has this way of switching directions on the fly with almost no bank, yet the lats are well within normal bounds. No other woodie manufacturer seems to do it like GCI. That said, if you don't take care of their coasters...they become a nightmare to ride because of those lats. I'm looking at you Apocalypse at SFMM...
Wildcat at Hershey is another one
Apocalypse was closed when I was there...Did I miss much?
BioSpark nope
Apocalypse is already a little rough not gonna lie but still fun
I like that ride
I'm SUPER excited. We're getting our first GCI wooden coaster here in the UK! It's located at Alton Towers and is set to open early 2018. It's currently going by the codename "SW8" (rumors say it's official name will be "Wicker Man") and from the plans, it's quite a short coaster. But should be great nonetheless.
quite intresting to see this comment years after Wickerman has opened.
fun little fact: @11:00 - these transitions are also used in road design and technically called "Clothoids", basically an Euler spiral :). Love the coaster layout!
It appears so!
Brian I loved your rct3 vids and your planet coaster vids! I hope you are doing well!
When are you going to finish volvara?
Thats a quetion which is never going to get answered... xD
He finally did.
No mention of SW8. Surprised with you talking about GCI and building a woodie into a hill
Thanks Silv for all the GCI Infos. nowiknowwhat these coasters are. and i know at least one :) Woddan. i like the layout so far, maybe the ending is not as impressiv as the start and the midd section but the whole design looks really floating :) what do you show us with the theming :)
part nothing?
Just a heads up... If you can make a GCI, then teach us... Make a planet coaster college video on GCI's
My favorite pure woodie is absolutely GCI's Thunderhead at Dollywood. She's very rough now compared to how she used to be, but god I loved that coaster when I first went on it. Still do. Also, Thunderhead most certainly does go under curved sections of it's own track... then again... Thunderhead is mostly curves sooooo..... XD
I am not surprised you talked throughout the entire video😉. Excited as ever. Nice work Silv, looking forward to part 2 and the decoration of the coaster. What will the theme be?
Will you be trying out rollercoaster tycoon classic remastered?
I don't think I want to pay that much for a game I pretty much already have...
That is true, 20€ for an old masterpiece is kinda overpriced even if it were to be remastered
If it was cheaper i would have bought it myself for nostalgia :-)
openrct2 is better anyway
What part is this? WHAT PART IS THIS?!?! WE NEED TO KNOW!
Ah and: nice vid :)
I wonder if real-life coaster designers use Planet Coaster to play with ideas
Silvarret, try Kings Island's Mystic Timbers GCI coaster. With 16 airtime hills.
you aced what GCI does
Jaaman Wodan EUROPAPARK😍
beste xD
Yeah Silv I think you got the essence of a GCI coaster down in this layout. I have known about the Wood Coaster in China for some time now and to me it looks like it would be one of the most intense coasters to ever ride. That thing hauls! You never get the sense that you're slowing down and because the track layout is so atypical you never have time to anticipate what is coming next. Everything is a surprise and the airtime hops continue the whole way through. I loved the explanation about how the designers work in plan, elevation, and section separately. One would think the final layout would be quite uncomfortable, but it is these very inconsistencies that lend to the greatness of these coasters. Love the coaster especially during the second half of the track, because you get a sense of the GCI experience. I wonder if you have started to play with the new in game friction slider for this coaster. It would be interesting to have a comparision video of a coaster with regular friction compared to the same track with 90% or 80% of the standard in game friction.
EN NEE ,HET IS NIET CGI VINCENT
Translate Plz?
Mr Xm4N "And no, it isn't CGI Vincent!" Vincent is a Dutch youtuber, I believe his channel name is DaVincStyleGames. He's a friendly dude, but he's quite GP.
+Mr Xm4N "and no, it's not cgi Vincent" is the translation :)
MagicLegend Thanks
Mike Veenhuis Thanks
Airtime-bump the ride :D
Can you start planet coaster college again please
This is insane, you NAILED it. Pretty much as good as you can do it in PC. All those (as you call it) weird little moments make it so lovely. Really interested in where this goes from here...
These are all I build in PC...
Jij doet ook met davincstylegames
Sorry which part is this 😂
I love that you explain this GCI typical track shaping what I also really like and try to rebuild. I love it.
Amazing video! I really enjoyed this video, and if you’re ever in the San Francisco area let me know (@cgaweekly on instagram) and we will have to catch a ride together on Gold Striker!
Rip this
One thing to note is that GCI does sometimes leave their "comfort zone", so to speak, and will occasionally design something that's more similar to a Gravity Group coaster while still using their own transition profiling. White Lightning at Fun Spot Orlando is one such ride, due to the narrow space the layout had to fit into.
You're aware of the B&M Batman clone once called Gambit that ran at two now defunct amusement parks before finding a home at Six Flags Fiesta Texas? I had the pleasure of riding it there this summer after last seeing it as a kid in Six Flags New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina.
I've been waiting on a proper video for this since you showed off how to make GCI shaping in that livestream. I tried it a few times on my own from memory, but I don't think I got it quite right. Thanks for the info!
GCIs are so amazing. My local park has one, Renegade at Valleyfair, and it's currently my favorite coaster I've ridden...although I am only at like 20 credits. Better than the RMC Goliath at Six Flags Great America, IMO.
I watched this and then went to watch an on-ride POV of Troy and immediately thought "Wow, this reminds me of the old wooden coaster at Six Flags where I used to live -- I wonder if that one was built by GCI?"
Sure enough, the Roar at Six Flags America in Maryland USA is a GCI wooden coaster. They're definitely fantastic coasters.
Slightly offtopic... but Congrats on getting shown in the TED talk about city planning ^^
Is the wickerman a gci?
Btw 🤙 great vid
LemonFusions, yes it is
GCIs are definitely smooth but aggressive. I’ve ridden two of them and Mystic Timbers definitely fits that bill, American Thunder is a lot tamer in comparison, but it’s still fun.
Have you seen the Mystic Timbers at Kings Island? It's a new GCI coaster that has many of the "GCI" features you explained. th-cam.com/video/r8TkNRXp6os/w-d-xo.html
How do you make ridecam go so close to the track like that
Might be late but it's with the right icon that cycles between all the views.
can you please make a giga coaster like a big one?
The key point of making a GCI is changing the direction of track as much as you can I think that’s what sets gci apart from the other companies
I love GCI coasters in general, Troy is absolutely madness, Joris en de Draak aswel, and so is Wodan. You really nailed it with the track design, I recognised quite some GCI elements.. Looking forward to seeing the next videos!
This is fantastic. Maybe you should do something like the grand national, a fully racing woodie
Is this going to be a western themed park, I've been building a park that's western but I'm finding adding details quite difficult, watching you is always good inspiration.
Nice video man! You should do something about the timelapse dizziness. If you make a timepalse, make sure you don't move the camera too much. I know it's hard but at some point I was dizzy.
Interesting to hear that Wodan at Europa-Park is a CGI Coaster, because I always found it to be the most uncomfortable coaster I've ever ridden...
Great layout! I can feel GCI in here. Except for the very bottom of the first drop. I kind of feel like the track should bank there a bit more. (Look at Troy, the track goes almost vertical at that point.)
I find it interesting how much twistier than other Woodies GCI coasters usually are. Take Intamin woodies for example, those are very straight, with air time being the main draw.
Build, demolish, build, demolish, build, demolish, build, demolish. This is becoming a running theme in your videos now and it's the most annoying thing.
This really makes me wish that the devs would add constant rolls to the editor. It would make building realistic coasters so much easier. Anyways, great video, it's very interesting to get a little insight how GCIs are being made.
Can you make a No Limits 2 coaster or tutorial? I want to learn how to use no limits and you would be a great person to learn from.
GCI has great wooden roller coasters, however RMC should stick to hybrids...
Hey! you shouted out Ravine flyer 2! That coaster is in my local Amusement park! If you ever head to Erie please let me know!
GCI is an awesome manufacturer...loved their new ride mystic timbers at kings island this year
Silv are you familiar with boulder dash? This coaster and the way you described GCI coasters remind me of it.
I’m still working on custom supporting this thing ;)
Would having the queue go close to/along the track serve as an adequate replacement for flying through the station, at least in spirit?
Looks neat, in any case.
you may not be an engineer but your vids and knowledge have inspired me to study engineering so I could eventually work for Vekoma or another company, let me know wich one you like most ;)
Heidi The Ride has that one snappy amazing airtime hill towards the end! You should check it out when your back 😄
Nice love it. Quick question though. Will you release a grapefruit cinematic video
Wood coaster probably such a dumb name in Chinese isn't
Ohh I remember this game. I think it's cool you still do this.
One thing that always bugs me about your coasters is how flat the terrain surrounding them always is. I feel like the terrain should be a lot stepper but maybe that's just me.
amazing! only complaint is the pacing towards the end - that's to be expected though :)
Hi Silv, how do you build the rails in the ground without creating a tunnel ??? I'm going crazy to look for ! thank you
NicoProd Spadaro yeah I can't find it neither someone help!!
In the options at "game"
I found ! Is in the settings of the game ! Thank you !
You need to have collision off and auto tunnel off aswell
I wish there was a wooden roller coaster variant with the Gravity Group Timberliner trains. I know we have them on the the hybrid but it doesnt have a left side catwalk and it really bothers me.
0:29 'take a shot at', you shot your whole magazine m8 xD
Mystic timbers is great! My number 2 wooden coaster
What about Thunderhead at Dollywood which I believe is also a GCI.
I don't think I've ever ridden on a wooden coaster as smooth as that one.
lol “im not an engineer in anyway.” Dude from your outstanding work, are you sure? Haha.
I feel that this should be a series where you try to make your coasters very realistic.
Looking forward to riding the new GCI SW8 at Alton Towers!
It's coming back BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
In one of your past videos you said you were in college; what are you majoring in?
Hey dont forget wildcat gci first coaster sucks the only good part is the seal noises it makes on the brakes
I wish I was this good at building coasters on planet coaster I’m terrible
You can change the friction of each individual coaster. Just go into game settings and turn on friction control settings.
I live right by Gold Striker! The first drop really reminds me of it.
Great stuff! Nice to see you never settle for less than (almost) perfection! Next year I'll be riding Tory when Fenix is open. This video hyped me even more! Thank you.
Silv i wish i can make coaster like you
with gci builds, you would wanna have angle snap on for most of the ride
Great job for attempting this. I have two immediate criticisms, but I think both of these could be solved by one move. The first drop is far too flat in shape and not parabolic enough to be going straight that long before the curve. Your ride also seems a tad on the slow side (may be hard to judge without a locked camera POV). You could solve both of these by raising the lift a decent bit and reshaping it to arc downward more. Other than that, this is really great for Planet Coaster. It will be cool to see this finished.
Thank you! This is exactly the sort of criticism I long for. I chalk the slow speed up to the game's friction, which was way too high at the time of building this (although we can now adjust it... Maybe with that and some trim brakes it can be better,), the first drop I'm definitely not happy with. Unfortunately using the 4m method means you can't adjust track shaping after you've made the track, so it's hard to get the shaping right. I may tackle the curve a little though, and right now I gave the park file to FreetheBear to work on - he's doing supports as we speak, and he has reshaped the lifthill and first drop crest a little already. Feels weird to say this about my own projects but I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Still missing Coaster College for Steel Coasters like Hypercoaster etc /:
Catching up on videos I have missed, Love the look of this one.
Great coaster international coasters? Lol 3:22
Let's hope it won't actually be as rough as Bandit tho ;)
Mystic Timbers at Kings Island is one of the best ones I’ve ridden
Gold Striker is at California's Great Adventure
Best Coaster ever made in Planet Coaster.
u can prenounce toverland can u prenounce efteling aswell?
13:55 Does this mean the wooden coaster in Toverland is a GCI-coaster too?
Yep! And internationally seen as one of the better ones, too.
Better than what I could do... so, thumbs up from me!
That is a nice smooth Coaster :)
Nice Job Silv!
it's only part of the coaster
Check the title Silvain plz xD
