Planet Coaster College - Schwarzkopf Looping Coaster (S.L.V.) Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- The Schwarzkopf looping coaster - only de facto a distinct roller coaster type, but very recognizable thanks to its signature "cone plug" track style - is a true classic within the industry. In-game, you can find it as the S.L.V. coaster from the Magnificent Rides Collection. It's the first coaster in history to have a vertical loop as we know them now, a pioneer in smooth heartline shaping, and a gamechanger as far as travelling coasters go. In this video I''ll show you how you can get build a typical compact Schwarzkopf layout, with its quick transitions, tight helices and characteristic loops. Also, I added a timelapse to show the custom support building process needed to make a believably transportable coaster.
You can find more information about Schwarzkopf here:
schwarzkopf-coa...
A small correction: the element is called a vertical 'loop', not a 'looping'. I think saying 'looping' so much as well as the fact that it's called a 'looping' in Dutch made me mix up the two terms, sorry.

About Planet Coaster College: PCC is a series of video guides in which I cover many aspects of making realistic and creative parks in Planet Coaster. One of my goals with the series is to make a video explaining each of the coaster types avaliable and show you how to build them, but there will also be some videos about elements of theme parks and the game in general, such as buildings and scenery. Overall, the series is directed toward already seasoned players of the games, though I do sprinkle tips that may be useful for beginners too. - เกม

People always rank Arrow over Schwarzkopf due to their innovation. But lets be honest, Arrow could never build smooth, intense and compact roller coasters like Schwarzkopf did
Agreed!
XplosiveGamer105 I completely agree. I haven't done any coasters form either manufacturer but I am more excited for Olympia Looping than Carolina Cyclone for example
Arrow has made some pre smooth coasters tho
But they made magnum, x2 and... uh...
@@yimmydotjpg3494
Gemini, Tennessee Tornado, Loch-Ness Monster, The Bat, Vortex, Viper, Thunderation, Desperado, etc.
Of course silvarette has already mastered this, as well as the whole rest of planet coaster 🤩🤩
Unlike me😔
Do a Mack launch Planet Coaster College.
Thats going to be a hard one since Mack has very unique designs for their Megacoasters and Launched Coasters - Flash is a out-and-back Hypercoaster, Helix is a twisty inversion monster, Icon is a low winding ride with snappy transitions, DC Rivals has a non inverting loop, twisted drop and a helix and Copperhead Strike has circular tight loops, a jojo roll and an airtime hill in the middle of the second launch...
There is not really one type of layout they stick with.
@@Dukhanstmichmal That doesn't necessarily mean he HAS to make anything exactly similar to Mack's designs. When you make a coaster, you just use appropriate elements in a layout that you see fit, not an exact kind of layout with a planned sequence of inversions and transitions. You could make a hyper coaster with a bunch of bank turns and vertical loops with airtime moments in between and call it a Mack coaster, as they can combine elements from different models to different layouts. That's how we have the creative coasters and concepts of today, as being confined to a list of elements isn't very unique.
@@therideanalyst6794 Yea sure but until now this "mini series" has been about showcasing the most traditional and iconic elements of certain coaster types. The only thing I'm saying is that the Mack Mega has so many completely different designs that it's going to be hard to figure out wich ones can be considered iconic. The only one I could think of would be the zero-g / heartline rolls of blue fire, helix, icon and flash.
Anyways - as a huge Mack fan myself I'm already looking forward to what Silvarret is going to come up with for the Vector :)
Silv you NEED to bring back more PCC, I wasn't falling asleep at all and watching you explain how to set up the ride to imitate other coasters of its type was really cool
I thought coaster college was dead lol. We need a giavanola hyper coaster college because I'm tired of seeing all those B&M layouts with the wrong trains..
The Giga Coaster might work, but I don't know.
The giga ones are used for B&M hypers and Gigas
Rage
Me: Im gonna make a cool looking coaster with the right amount of inversions and airtime moments, and its gonna be all green!
Final test: Excitement- 5.79; Fear-4.47; Nausea- .71
Me: Ooookkkkkkk, did I do something wrong?
Silvaret: Ok, you gotta do this, and this, and some of these aaaannnddddd done!
Final Product: All green, no smoothing needed, perfect in everything.
Me: Bruh, how?!?
No hate, love your work, and your soothing voice :)
Those small cross ties that are on the track are meant for maintenance, making it able for people to clip in fall arrest harnesses so they can walk the whole track and inspect the more steeper parts of the layout. Used to work the mind bender in Canada and seen this first hand.
That’s awesome
Silvarret: *Lets the world know about the 4m method
Silvarret 6 months later: *Doesn’t use 4m method
It's too time-consuming to use for every coaster, honestly - and when it comes to Schwarzkopf specifically, I feel like it's more realistic without the 4m method.
The only Schwarzkopf I have been on is Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa and I love it so much. That thing packs a punch and it's so intense while being the size if not smaller than most family coasters.
Good ole Scorpion, that was my first coaster I was maybe 5-6 years old and I remember being so scared I wouldn't get back on it for a good 8-10 years afterwards, agree with the intensity, for such a small coaster it packs a brutal punch lol
Ryan Strembicki I’ve been on Scorpion and Supper Dooper Looper. So I’ve been on a newer one and one of the original ones. They are all very good
I've only been on Sooper Dooper Looper, I was shocked by the intensity of the loop
it's not vertical looping, it's vertical loop-dee-loop
Couldn't help but notice a missing cut on the outro haha 47:27
I finished this at 4am, please forgive me haha
Schwartzkopf loopers are awesome! Who agrees?
HydroPenguin yup
Been on the Olympia Looping today and it was really awesome! Great ride!
Wew, a 47 minute long Planet Coaster College, it's Christmas already! (well, it kinda is)
Thanks for the (multiple) shoutout, that was very kind of you and I always have a blast doing some research.
... But you also know me and how I like nit-picking, so here we go. =D
4:00 I don't know if it's one of the most common travelling coaster. They still are really large coasters, so they are not suitable for smaller fairgrounds. I think Pinfari Big Apple and Zyclon are far more common, as well as Reverchon Crazy Mouse. But as a thrill, inverting coaster, yeah they were probably the go-to.
6:11 About the shuttle mode, I'm glad you're mentioning Shuttle Loop but unfortunately those are not really doable in Planet Coaster as Frontier didn't implement a proper launch mechanism. Instead, they based the shuttle mode on the one and only Wiener Looping/Bullet which works differently.
7:22 / 38:12 The small ties of the first track type are DEFINITELY for employees and not for stress purposes. They are significantly too small for that - compare them to the regular ties, they are insubstantial (IRL even more than in Planco).
30:12 That's a nice statement, and that's because Schwarzkopf rides are mostly geometric desings. Concentric circles, straight lines, etc. Olympia Looping, being one of the later design is a bit more fluid, but it's just some smoothed lead-in and out and helixes with varying radius. And that wonky first loop, haha. B&M coasters, 2000's Intamin and RMC are also relying on geometric curves.
I think the smoothness of Schwarzkopf rides are thanks to the high manufacturing quality (track bending). The ride centerline was also very good for its time but a bit rough around the edges (as you said it was manually calculated). Also, back then they used more steel than nowaday as it was cheaper - resulting in a more sturdy track.
34:59 That was the favorite coaster of Werner Stengel to design the supports for, not Anton.
Anyway, thanks again for these amazing video, the work and passion you put into those is tredemendous!
(Also I don't think Schwarzkopf are any different when it comes to have brakes not on an incline. Other manufacturers do too - basically when you have transport wheels.
And the curved lift (which you can't do with a chain in Planco btw) appear not to be a constant radius, but is like horizontally squiched, at least on Olympia Looping)
The only one I’ve ridden was Jetliner at Grona Lund and I loved it. And I’d consider Schwarzkopf to be the European Arrow
I rode Jetliner too! Love it. Gröna Lund in general is a really cool park, great atmosphere.
Please .. Please Blueprint this Coaster!
Seconded!
Yes please!!
Yes, please. This is a GREAT layout, true to Schwarzkopf.
I love this ride model. My only complaint is I wish it had the mind bender from over the Georgia track.
My first ever looping coaster was indeed a Schwarzkopf Looping Star in Bobbejaanland when I was 5 years old.
Please please please put this on the workshop!!
Hey so I just created my own... Needless to say, it didn't turn out as I was expecting. Check out this giant hunk of trash here, I guess: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1756546009
I know they're super flexible, but I'd love to see you do a Mack 'Megacoaster' video :)
Can you do a tutorial on a Intamin prototype wing? I would love to see that
Schwarkopf looping coaster, we can shortan that to s.l.c. and silvarret said they are smooth coasters
Therefore
Slc's are smooth coasters
Like if you get it
hugger me Whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy I got it.
@@tigersfan8459 because it's an slc😂
hugger me lol
SLC = Hang 'n Bang
Tower of Terror at now defunct British park Camelot was my first loop. I still remember vividly the castle piece that housed the loop.
Yesssss, fianlly more planet coaster collage!
We now need Agoraphobia and Claustrophobia in PC!
YES! That opening to RCT1 showing them off is so iconic.
And arachnophobia
And Dopplerdangler/wooden wild mine train
you can technically use this for rct2 as well i guess
Amazing , thanks of the tutorial, please do a MACK tutorial next
I've been on the "looping star" and later "thunder loop" in Slagharen many times. Such a smooth ride even in it's last years, at almost 30 years old it could still beat a lot of new coasters from a ride comfort point of view. Also the only one I've been on that has an inversion and just a lap bar.
It's now rebuild and put to use on cyprus
this coaster is nostalgic roller coaster tycoon showed me this first
Pro tip!: You can get the block brakes under the lift-hill pretty easily by actually using the lift-hill itself.
Simply remove 2 parts of your lift-hill and start building again on either of those broken off sides. Work your way to the preferred height of your block section and plan out where you want it to connect to the rest of your layout. Remove any unnecessary track pieces and reconnect your lift-hill. And voilà! Hope you learned something from this.
If I'm correct SooperDooperLooper at Hershey park is a Schwartzkopf coaster as well
Same style coaster they have at West Edmonton mall in Canada. It has two big drops. First drop you go down come back up through a block section down through the first two loops back up to a block section down to the last loop over to a downward helix back to the station. It is fun for sure good coaster.l
Sorry in my comment I said downward helix it's a upward helix
Well i actually haven't done a proper silvarett coaster yet only mack ones since the dlc came out,but this video was fun to watch and reminded me soo much of Olympia Looping, now i guess i'll have to try to make one too xd. BTW a mack mega coaster college should be the next one right?
Hey Silvarret. I took a closer look on the smaller track ties.
Usually, when something is repetitively there but has apparently no purpose, there are good chances that it is an artifact of the manufacturing process.
They may be temporary ties.
If you imagine the track without the big ties, these small posts are just enough to maintain the rails to the central tube before the actual ties are fitted and welded. You can easily bend, cut and weld them to make small adjustments for no costs, and once your rails are in place and verified, you can go on with the big welds. They may also help with the heat induced deformation of the rails during the welding.
Like you said, some coasters doesn't have them on all the parts of the tracks (ex: Mindbender Canada, track close to the ground does not have these posts)... and I can't figure why... Was these track replaced after the accident ?
Also the latest designs (with the rails and tube aligned) does not have them but that may be because you can reuse a simpler template when the rails and the tube are aligned.
Another point would be that the tracks of a single coaster may not have been all manufactured at the same place. Schwartzkopf went bankrupt a few time during the 80s, and these posts may actually only on the parts manufactured by... let's say BHL/Maurer ?
Stengel knows.
Please tell me if you got more infos on these, I'm curious.
See you, love your videos.
Hmm, that's an interesting theory. The only thing I heard after the video came out is that the ties are used as ladders to climb the track. Not sure about that one, though.
Mack coaster (vector)tutorial
Please do a Mack rides planet coaster college.
This looks like winterwonderland from London Munich looping
It remind me of a coaster in Canada called the Mindbender in Alberta, Edmonton's West Edmonton Mall.. I grew up near Edmonton and this coaster definitely is very similar to it! Nice work Silvarret of course~ Bedankt!
“Mindbender” in Edmonton is very much an indoor Schwarzkopf coaster. 38.7 m (127 ft) drop and reached a top speed of 96.5 km/h (60.0 mph). It’s the largest indoor triple looping coaster with a G-force of 5.2
Hi Silvarret. I was just wondering if you could do an inverted coaster tutorial as your next planet coaster collage episode as i wish to build that as my next coaster in my theme park but i have not acquired the correct skill to do so.
This video is on point, my local park has a Schwarzkopf called Colossus:The Fire Dragon, it's a double looping coaster with the track that runs between the loops, the smaller two circle figure eight design. Everything you said about these coasters fits it to a T.
Your local park? So that’s Lagoon then? That’s awesome! Wish we had a park as cool as them as a local one. All I got is Six Flags New England and Edaville.
Fun fact shockwave, a schwarzkopf at my home park of six flags over Texas, pulls 5.9 Gs
S C H - W A R Z - K O P F - we sing SCHWARZKOPF heyy! wohooo
Hey silv quick question. Can i steal your computer so im able to play this game? Great tutorial!!
I suffer from anxiety and somehow your voice and your videos relax me even on bad days. Thank you so much for making these relaxing educating videos.
I’ve been on one of the shorter ones and it is not not smooth it’s at Busch gardens Tampa bay called scorpion
silv learns everything so fast... he is the true....
planet coaster god
also, was knightmare at Camelot a Schwarzkopf?
yes it was
I enjoyed the double goodbye at the end ;)
double outro :O
I'm not sure of their purpose either but those small ties between the regular ones are exclusive to the traveling models I believe. Also leisbergbanan was built by zeirer but just designed by Schwartzkopf as he was working for zeirer at the time
Pov?
Dammit I was hoping it would have the MindBinder From sfog and Revolution from Sfmm track type also. Sigh. But I could just put the trains on a different track type huh 🤔🤔
Thanks for completely demotivating me again lol
I Tried a hommage to Alpina-Bahn myself (its also on reddit somewhere) and thought it was looking ok, but this is a masterpiece right here lol
One thing I noticed tho, you didn't built it on wooden blocks sooo sorry but 0/10 LOL
I didn't knew Turbine name changed into Psyké underground.
Yes i'm from Belgium, and yes I've experienced this coaster. I love it as well (just dislike the queing time though).
I wanted to recreate that ride, but I can't since we don't have a booster start.
The 5 looping one is at the Oktoberfest in Munich
no pov?
R.I.P.
I'm sorry, I totally forgot about including one! I'm going back to the Netherlands for Christmas, and had to finish this video in the middle of the night - I guess my memory suffered a bit from it. I'll see if there's a way to combine two videos in TH-cam, so I can add the POV later... I thought there was a way to do that.
@@Silvarret Cue Darth Vader: *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
Extra ties are afaik mostly to secure workers in heights, smaller coasters, stationary ones or near terrain (like lbb) do not need that necessarily.
I believe Anton worked with Werner Stengel from Germany who designed the banking of roads on autobahn exits etc and he designed the banking and transitions for the Schwarzkopf coasters, but correct me if I’m wrong
could you do a Vekoma SLC on planet coaster college
A bit late but Schwarzkopf did understand quite a bit about heartlining - he's talking about it here (no idea how good auto-caption is tho lol) th-cam.com/video/kELdEoz8o7U/w-d-xo.html
Well the main head designer in Schwarzkopfs Company was Mr. Werner Stengel. He create so much Coasters where you can find all over the world. He is just the Godfather of the Rollercoasters. Examples of his works are: Millenium Force ( Sundusky /Ohio ), Revolution (Magic Mountain), Olympia Looping, Colossus (Two Looper for travelling, one is in the Lagoon Salt Lake City) and and and Werner Stengel Company is still exists and has his Office in Munich/ Germany. www.rcstengel.com ;-)
Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops (Psyké Underground in Walibi België) is and stays one of my favorite roller coasters of all time!
And now I miss the loopingstar in slagharen 😭😭
All American Triple Loop just opened at my home park (Indiana Beach), which is the Schwarzkopf Dreier Looping that traveled around the German fair circuit, and was moved around from park to park. It is crazy intense, compact, and kinda violent (in a good way), I’m glad that there’s now something like it in the states, especially at a park like Indiana Beach which already had a Schwarzkopf traveling coaster.
Funnily enough you mentioned my younger brother's and my father's very first inverting coaster: Psyke Underground at Walibi Belgium (my brother rode it as Psyke Underground, my dad as its original form: Sirocco), nice :)
Great coaster!
My first vertical loop was ‘revolution’ at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. I have never ridden a Schwarzkopf coaster
my favorite Schwarzkopf Looping Coaster is the Mindbender. There are two of them. six flags over Georgia and in west edmonton MALL. the mall one is my favorite. (Only one i've seen and soon will be riding.
Something you could do in order to make the loops appear more portable in line with the mobile Schwarzkopf models is build counterweight basins around them just to hide the footers. A good example would be Colossus / Laser that used to operate at Dorney Park, which was a portable double looping model. rcdb.com/240.htm#p=5355
Schwarzkopf has heartlining on the newer coasters. They were the first to use it
well my first looping roller coaster (and second ever roller coaster) was nemesis. i suppose that isnt a bad thing at all but i would have loved to have had one of these.
I keep forgetting that Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain is a shwarshkopf because it’s so long and spread out, the only sketchy parts are probably when the track get engraved into the ground and you almost hit a tree
this is the second tutorial i've watched of yours making a roller-coaster in planet coaster and it's literally so entertaining omg. i have planet coaster, but right now i don't intend on recreating any of the coasters you've made i just oddly enjoy watching you make roller-coasters.
Schwarzkopf Looping Coaster = SLV
could have been SLC but thats already taken
Its funny how you say Schwarzkopf XD
This can support four trains. Maybe use four trains?
Sincerely, the guy who makes six-train Schwarzkopfs
My first loop was a Schwarzkopf shuttle - Montezooma's Revenge at Knotts Berry Farm. Still love it!
If you had added 3 more loopings, I'd have felt the Olympia-Looping. Your creation feels very close to it.
next planet coaster college: Intamin Accelerator (Zenith and Sprint 500)
I'm sorry to say that my first looping coaster was an Arrow coaster. It's a shame, since Schwarzkopf coasters look amazing!
Hows it feel having a coaster named after you, Silv? ;P
Great!
Is this coaster available to add to my custom rides? I'm terrible at making my own.
Do you have any tips for an absolute beginner? I'm trying to build coasters but they are terrible. Thanks
I was thinking about building these
immediately reminded me of 5 loops at octoberfest, munich
Is it me or does it look like the coaster is running a bit slower than an actual Shwartzkopf?
2:52 *Me looking away because my first looping coaster was a Eurofighter* *Silent Judging begins*
Yes! Finally another Planet Coaster College!
Just rode SixFlagsOverTexas' Shockwave yesterday, it's a favorite classic of mine at the park. It uses a box-trestle style track type that I honestly cant find on any other schwarzkopf designs except for maybe Mindbender in SixFlagsOverGeorgia over on RCDB. Everything else uses the 3-tubular or flat trestle styles. Makes me wonder about why they chose it for those particular coasters. Great video and coaster as always, thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you! Judging by the year these coasters we're built, I think perhaps Schwarzkopf just hadn't invented or perfected the cone-plug track yet.
the Schwarzkopf?
I had to edit that 5 times until i got it right 😂😂
6:46 when the video acc starts 😂
I already watched this, but I missed the part where you said they named it for you! That’s awesome silv!
Please make a Mack launch coaster college
Hi Silv, I'm glad to see this series come back. I appreciated your dedication to explain the importance of Mr. Schwarzkopf's work. You did a really good job showing how to build a looping star model, but I think you could also make a blueprint on the workshop for a shuttle looper. I have yet to find one that's any good on the workshop, and although they are simple, I can never build the flywheel/ wheightdrop structure right.
I think what your looking for is the first modern day coaster with a vertical loop
I have a Looper at my home park (Colossus at Lagoon) and that first drop almost makes me gray out every time
11:00 You talked about the Hearthling there. I just watched the Schwarzkopf dokumentary and he literatly talked about the hearthling. He told something about motorcylist moving their bodys previously befor turning into a curve. Schwarzkopf and his Team was realy like the foundation of the modern days Coaster Industry for this thinking alone!
Welcome Back, Planco College!
Also they need to make the station thinner because Schwarzkopf's I remember riding like Bullet are less wide of a station, planet coasters are way to wide so I can accurately recreated those rides.. :/ but I'm so happy we have this ride in-game! :D (Edit) This also reminds me a 2 looping version of Magnum Force from Flamingo land, now somewhere in mexico.
I'm sorry... but what in the goddamn did you press to make the paths square!!!!!!!
Man, I need this game. My old home park was Six Flags Astroworld. It was home to both a Looping Star, (Viper) and an amazing shuttle loop called Greezed Lightnin'. Time to save up for a decent pc so that I can remake Astroworld. Oh, and the park at the end had a painful SLC too...yep.
I remember riding Mind Bender at Six Flags Over Georgia and not really thinking it would be much. 'Twas surprising when I found out how smooth it was compared to my expectations.
Yup, because these early Schwartkopf were designed with Stengel, and Intamin was behind. The Schwartzkopf coasters actually went rougher after the 70's.
My first looping coaster (1996) was a Schwarzkopf (The Mindbender in Six Flags over Georgia) and it's still one of my favorites to this day. The Mindbender has aged very well and is nothing spectacular by today's standards but is just a ton of pure fun.
My first ever roller coaster was Shwarzkopf's Mindbender in Edmonton, Canada. I believe it was the largest ride this company built, and one of the last to be designed by Anton. Still the best coaster I've ever been on. The G-force in the loops is absolutely insane, and the first drop is completely exhilarating. This video made me so nostalgic. I have so much love and respect for this company.
