Planet Coaster College - Hybrid Coaster Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In this Planet Coaster College tutorial I'm taking you through the process of making a realistic hybrid coaster (often referred to as 'RMC's, by the name of the company Rocky Mountain Construction that invented them). They're similar to traditional wooden roller coasters but with steel topper track or completely steel rails, allowing for tighter twists and turns, inversions, and a smooth ride experience. The catwalk-less woodie lookalikes have been used to revamp many older wooden coasters across the US, and revolutionized the wooden coaster industry with new elements and inversions that were never possible before.
This video barely scratches the surface of what these things can do, though. If you're really interested in them, I'd recommend watching some POV's - many hybrids have unique, weird elements with equally ridiculous names. You could add tip-out corners, wave-breaking turns, trick-track hills or outward banked tophats.
Planet Coaster College is a series in which I'll be explaining the ins and outs of making parks and rides in Planet Coaster - we'll delve into coaster building, creating scenery, making buildings, laying out parks, and using various tools in the game. These videos are not so much step-by-step documentations for absolute beginners on how to build stuff, but more of a look into the building process, giving some guidelines and ideas to build your own parks.

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.
I like how you forgot to turn the catwalk off for a large part of the video, haha
Had The same thought
It tilted me for a good 10 minutes lol
just scrolling through the comments to see if this bugged anyone else lol
It doesn’t bother me too much.
lol
RMC's also do a bit of outward banked turns. And Outlaw Run kills the end momentum with a slight uphill corkscrew.
It’s not a corkscrew it’s a barrel roll and outlaw run Halls into the breaks
Did you not watch until the end?
Outward banking turns ftw.
Outlaw Run is a Topper he’s building with an I-Box which tends to be faster and more intense
"...has mostly rails that are made out of lemonaded wood"
I love drinking my lemondaded wood. :D Are you going to put this coaster on the workshop?
😂
I heard literally the same thing and went to check if I was the only one. I wasn't. Today is a good day!
he said laminated you lemon😂(see what i did there)
Any chance you can actually show the test results of the coasters you make? Not that you are necessarily trying super hard to make the 'perfect' coaster but thought it could be cool to know nevertheless.
Very good point, thanks. Been getting quite a few comments about this, and while these layouts should likely land reasonably good stats, I actually don't have a clue what they are. Will talk about the stats in future videos!
Awesome - and keep up the great work! Just recently found your channel when I saw your Mjölnir build. It completely amazed and mesmerized me, and your other builds are just as fantastic!
The nose view instead of view from the riders position for the final pov really bugs me
me too xD
FluffyChicken lol same
Jacob Waz Where did you see his face?
Jacob Waz oh
JuanCena meme lord like me? What
I really like the idea of the series. There are far too many people who think high and fast coasters with sharp turns are good and funny. You have the ability to build high quality coasters and give tips to the community. I like the way you are thinking because you take those real coasters for example and you know more than the average themeparkvisitor. Really appreciate your work and I can't wait to Play this game for myself.
There is an RMC called Untamed, wich is currently under construction, that had an Outer-banked turn as a pre-drop section.
Have you rode it and if yes did you enjoy it
Thanos Gaming I’ve ridden Untamed!!! It’s a Totally kick ass coaster dude, after the ligt Hill drop it Flips you over in a strange curved-too-the-left 270 degree stall, quickly after that twists you back in another inversion. Very weird element, just too good to be true. I haven’t ridden zadra or wildfire but I think this is a better hybrid because of the special elements and the short but powerfull ride.
Where is it?
@@charliegriswold1445 it's at walibi belgium :)
@@mathieubraun9529 Thanks, I don't know of too many coasters outside of the US. and it makes it harder to remember as my home park, canobie lake park, also has a Eurofighter named untamed.
I got this game today. Things I have realised:
1. My graphics card is no longer good enough to play games... Running everything on low just to get it to run makes the game look awful.
2. I am no where near as patient as you!
I really liked how you had the whole rollercoaster in one shot before you started building it in the last video.
The cinematic is also cool, but I would also like to see the final result before you start.
I really enjoy this series, just some feedback.
Good point, I'll put that back in for the future - thanks!
Thank you :)
Do a national scenery guide ! So like terrain and bushes and trees
National scenery?
lol
The Iron Rattler (Six Flags Fiesta Texas, San Antonio, Texas) is likely one of the wodden/hybrid coasters that was full wooden, and now is metal. It's such a fun ride too!
Iron Rattler was originally opened as Rattler, a excessively large wooden coaster which was problematic from day one. RMC came in the 2010s and converted to Iron Rattler
I wish you could swap the train types between the Hybrid tracks!
The gauges are different tho so it looks weird. Don’t use default Topper trains, they are timber liners.
I feel like the steel topped track is more of a GCI style train compared to the other one. It actually has RMC trains which I like
@@jmglam5891 Hmm... More like Gravity Group.
I'm getting annoyed with myself and this game, I can't seem to make a coaster that my guests want to ride because it's "too scary".
@h Because that's a helpful reply, jackass. Besides that, this was a year ago, if you think I'm still having the issue with the controls then you're wrong.
@@liamevans9815 ikr super helpful reply!
@@leedergs TH-cam shitheads for ya mate lol.
Idk if its just a thing for me, but they should allow people to make beyond vertical drops on hybrids. Im trying to recreate Iron Gwazi and so far Ive actually been able to make it beyond vertical, but its a long process, which is why they should make it so you can make some beyond vertical drops. It wont allow a drop steeper than 85 degrees.
You'll get it eventually ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
Watching this as I’m going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas to ride Iron Rattler. 10/10
How about a hyper coaster tutorial? That would be awesome! Thanks! Love your channel
B&M hyper and how to make glossy smith but overbanks. Also tutorial of how to make ejector and floater airtime. For intamin coaster, it's has to be about positive g's because scharwasckocf isn't on here
FishTitan it is now, get magnificent dlc
I dont get why they put the gravity group trains on a RMC track?
Damn, that would explain a lot actually. I've been wondering why it looks as though there's a metal strip on top of the regular topper track. That coaster type would seem to exist in a woodie limbo between RMC and Gravity Group then, since it also has more crossties than RMC's, but no catwalks.
MovieBoysHD I think it's because gravity group has made woodies that invert (hades 360)
***** Hades 360 is not hybrid, and does not look like the one in the game at all.
***** its just that part but for the rest its a normal wooden coaster and while wooden RMC's have the track in planet coaster where the gravity group trains are, the track does not look like the hades one at all, its just the RMC track. it still does not make sense to put the gravity group trains on there.
I dont consider rmc topper track coasters "Hybrid". They have wooden track (majority) and wooden structures. I was saying they used gravity group trains because gravity group has made a wooden roller coaster capable of inverting.
Silvarrett i think these vids are a great idea, but i would love to see you start with even more "basics" maybe. Like building paths etc. Since this often still has issues and im sure there are a lot tips and tricks for this.
BananaBread Planet Coaster has these on their TH-cam channel.
I wish there were more Coaster Colleges. I love this style of tutorial
A tutorial on how to do a river rapids and how to theme it would be cool.
i love this series
Nice! Can you do one for a b&m or vekoma inverter
MrMichelNL not Vekoma, their SLC's are SHIT
SLC's aren't in the game. The only Inverted coasters in the game are the B&M Invert, Intamin Impulse, Giant Inverted Boomerang and Giovanola Invert
XplosiveGamer105 Giovanola inverts aren't 2 seaters, aren't they?
The only installation of the model, Anaconda at Gold Reef City (A park in some African country), features two-across seating. Giovanola only built 3 coasters, Anaconda, Titan and Goliath, and all feature 2 seat rows. They are generally a lower capacity, knock-off B&M
Vekoma SLCs are here now in the Magnificent Rides Collection.
Been playing Planet Coaster since Alpha 1 and didn't know you could do banking offset... Thanks man! I always wondered how your inversions turned out to smooth :)
congrats to 70k subscribers! You gain now very fast new subsribers.
Definition of a 'hybrid coaster' from Alan Schilke: a coaster that was previously all wood and they've redesigned the layout and built it with their Ironhorse track. Otherwise, if it was the from the ground up, it would just be classified as steel, despite the supports bring wooden.
I don’t care it’s all they make is hybrids topper you only ride on steel never wood up stops and guides on the steel so it’s a disguise
The rmc's that have the pre drop section are not that common, and have only appeared on 2 toppertrack rides as far as I know
They're on Outlaw Run, Medusa Steel Coaster, Lightning Rod, Storm Chaser, and Wildfire. The rest just go straight into the drop after the lift hill
The Roller Coaster Creator I was talking about the topper track specifically. Also Storm Chaser is another RMC that doesn't drop immediately (but it's not topper track)
Inquisitive Productions Medusa Steel Coaster isn't topper track.
It’s super weird to me that the RMC topper track model in this game uses the Gravity Group Timberliner trains. I always just switch out to the RMC trains.
Hi, Silvarret! I have a very powerful computer, but I can't seem to run Planet Coaster smoothly on large parks with lots of scenery. I have an i7 4790k and a GTX 1080 and I'm getting the same performance that I had with my GTX 970 (around 25-40 FPS). What are your PC specs? And do you or any other people reading this have any thought on how to improve it? Thanks!
its almost impossible for a pc to run every park, its just too much
40fps on a 970? what res are you running? surely not 1080... if so u need some drivers boi
I wonder in how many years we'll run a Silvarret park in 60 fps... with a single card, because for today, the only way I've heard is forcing SLI (the game doesn't support) // the "CPU/GPU game" has to step it up, I hope AMD's Ryzen changes the scene.
How much ram u got
Hey Silv, as you have so much knowledge about theme parks and coasters, could it be that you're studying or have studied Leisure Management with a Theme Park Management specialization? If yes, could it be that you're studying or have studied at the NHTV in Breda?
Fun element on my local RMC is the "Step Up Under Roll/Flip" (as featured on The Joker at SFDK)
Out of wood like a normal wooden rollercoadter wood.
Make this a playlist on your channel!
I love these tutorials. You should do a tutorial on giga/hyper coasters (like the millenium force). I always find that while they may look simple, they really aren't.. especially when considering layouts and how you want them to "mold" into your park. The easier ones for me are ones like the inverted coasters/flying coasters, and woody/RMC ones like this.
"...this crazy thing here where we have two inversions in a row..."
And it's exactly the two back-to-back inversions on Twisted Cyclone which was built two years after this video. Did you give them the idea for that?
Can you please show the stats of the coaster? Like the excitement rating
Would be great if you used the riders perspective when doing the first person part, and cutting out the coaster sound in the pov is a real shame!
I'll see if I can add the sound in in any way, the issue is that it's quite loud compared to my mic and I can't set volume levels in Fraps - hence I'd rather record without sound.
there are a lot of programs that let you record just your voice. Set fraps to not record the mic input and record the voice with a seperate program, later on in your editing software you can perfectly even out the audio balance so you can create the best quality content.
I use OBS for my videos. Works much better for me than FRAPS. There's a mute/unmute hotkey that you can use specifically for that function.
Silvar’s Second Inversion looks like a custom twisted horseshoe roll (start at 15:45)
Very helpful, i made mine a bit to conservative i see now.
BROTHER!!! You used that banking offset and my mind went. Wait... what.. what.. hold the front door. No way. I’ve got like 100 hours into the game on console. Never messed with that. Mind blown. Great stuff there brother
Glad I got you on the right side!
Before this video I didn't even know there were 2 types Hybrids in the game 😛
I might do that when I have time but for now I'm even happy to have time to play PC. But I will try to do it ;)
There are not. The one with the metal on the top is not considered a hybrid. Sorry bud
Same
Really loving this tutorials. Is really interesting to know more about the different types of coasters, what makes them special, their history and what should they have. Keep them coming!
Btw, small petition, could you go more in deep (maybe short video) on how to get "air time"? I had some trouble with the challenge of 5s of airtime 😅
See yaa
Thanks! There's not much more to airtime though - it just happens on the top of hills when you fly over them with enough speed. To get 5s of airtime, you'll probably just need to have a lot of large hills that the coaster takes with speed to get you settled!
Got it! Will do some tests with that in mind ^^
Wow. You just got another subscriber.
1:38 The steel toped track is a gravity group coaster and the I box track is an RMC
Goddangit that logo is just too good silv!
GIMP ftw :D
YES
Anti first
Can you upload all the coasters from this series as blueprints? There is a major lack of good coaster blueprints in the workshop.
Pretty late reaction but this coaster needs the RMC pacing, just speed up the lifthill!
the one thing I find funny is the theme park closest to Rocky Mountain Construction doesn't have this...and they just started with the Topper Track as a substitute to help Woodies and their maintenance costs...with recent designs, they definitely revolutionized the Wooden Coasters...not bad for a company in Middle-of-Nowhere, Idaho.
Yet another excellent creation - do you think it would be possible to put the layouts created in your College videos on the Workshop? I'm a sucker for compact blueprints and your coasters are always so satisfyingly compact, while also cramming in all of the important elements.
Silvarret, I just clicked your vids randomly through the recommended bar. Im not necessarily interested in you vids but I do have a question and its quite random. Watching this vid and one other Ive noticed that you seem to know what you're talking about in regards to coasters, are you a roller coaster enthusiast? Or Theme park enthusiast in general?
RMC awesomeness.
I've never seen an RMC with a pre-drop. I also hope people realize they don't HAVE to build rides this way. It's based on your own creativity.
Thank you so much. i was trying to build one of these the other day but had no idea how they were built in real life. mine looked very bad so i scrapped it. maybe ill go back and now and built it again.
I cant wait to see the arrow, or even how this stork looking coaster should be built, casue that one is very odd to me.
thnx for this video silph! i think now i will definitly rebuild my coaster from my let's play series :P
At 15:40 he should’ve added a wave turn that goes over the bottom of the first drop and around the tallest part of the lift hill if you know what I mean
Just as an FYI, RMC uses the wooden topper track on their original wooden coasters only, and the the steel I-Box track on all their retrofits of older wooden coaster. I.E., Outlaw Run, Wildfire, and Lightning Rod all use topper, while Twisted Colossus, New Texas Giant, and Steel Vengeance all use I-Box
Hey Silv, could you do a tutorial on interlocking corkscrews and interlocking loops?
isn't the steal track topper one a gravity group coaster like hades 360 that's why they have the timberliner trains not RMC ones.
Why don't you show the test results for the track. I'm very interested in in seeing the stats of the run as well for the 0G sections and simply overall how the game translates this to a score.
Whenever i make a overbanked curve, the fear meter goes way up, and it stays up until the train slows way down. Any advice on how to fix that?
Barend Offenberg make sure speed is consistent and not too fast and have smooth transitions
how did you get rid of the decimal points when you bank it? when i bank it, its like 90.00, yours is just 90
I want this game so bad but it costs 30 euro's (I'm Dutch too) but I'm going on a vacation to Paris so I don't have any money atm and this sucks
Random Videos in de fonteinen in Parijs liggen veel rosse muntjes alles tesamen zal wel 30€zijn
Can you put this coaster on the workshop? I want to play around with it. It looks really great!
You're using the term overbanked turn excessively. At 22:02 this curve isn't an overbanked turn as it isn't banked by 90 degrees or more.
Regardless though, still a nice video :)
Hey, why don't you use the actual POV for your rides? Does that makes the coaster look smoother? Thanks
hey Silvarret, what are your camera controls (if you changed them) and what is your camera sensitivity?
Thanks for these videos! Was wondering, will you be uploading these coasters to the workshop?
Nobody wants to ride my rides :((
1. People are afraid of it
2. It’s too boring to people
Like tf
Medusa at Six Flags Mexico also does a roll on the first drop. Just a fun fact :)
Would really want to ride all the RMCs if I could. Twisted Colossus was amazing.
Hey Silv, great video again! Was wondering if you could do something, either a park, section of a park or just a stand alone ride in the style of adventureland from disneyland paris? Its a theme ive never seen you do before and i think you'd do it justice!
I work at the park where Storm Chaser lives, Kentucky Kingdom and the drop looks insane.
I can't wait to get the game, my big brother said he would get me the game for Christmas so I don't have spend like hours in rct3 making supports and path covers while these peeps who look like serial killers walk around and look at me with no emotion, can't wait!
Tfw he comes up with a hasty coaster design for teaching purposes without thinking too much about it, in a matter of minutes, and the end result is perfect and smooth as fuck. And I'll be spending hours creating a basic coaster, desperately trying to smooth it out, but it still ends up a complete mess with all the low ratings.
not the best layout!! are you kidding me. .this was epic.!!! they need to build this in real life.. short. compact. have every element in a rmc has...the only thing i would change. is the height. just a little bit like inch or two. some of the elements you go threw reallly slow......but just a suggestion....
Yes, this video is a bit old. Now we also have Steel Vengeance, he third hybrid coaster option. I've been using that one ALOT. It's a steel track as well and the default seems a bit darker then the other steel track coaster. I really like the car used for it though.
i noticed on this vid and the previous one you never mention the coaster ratings ex/fe/Nau.. was that on purpose? cause i'm curious to see what the ratings on both the wooden and the hybrid coasters.. very informative though! thanks!
WTF, how did you do that? I watched the whole thing and probably couldn't repeat it. What were the in-game excitement, fear and nausea stats?
i can't say it was helpful, since i don't have the game and don't plan to get it (expensive as hell and I have no time) but it was surely entertaining! Thanks! =D
I’m going to give this RMC hybrid a D. It’s not chaotic enough. Honestly it could pass of as an Intamin hyper, but not an RMC
May be completly irrelevant, but I'd personally love to see the testing results shown. Even if they mean very little to most people, i'm curious :).
Silvarret incase you're reading this, The Smiler has two of those drops (2nd and 8th) that you stated were on Stormchaser, random info for you 🙂
I'd love to see you build a new big fantasy park without any realism limitations. Just like fantasy valley. Don't really care how long it will take to complete.
Why does the hybrid one have a RmC train when the topper is a older track type? and a normal wooden coaster aka classic. It has only wood but a small thin metal plate on it for the heavy wheels but why does it not have that train?
But still why can't you just have a normal rmc train when the topper is still a rmc type?
Great video! I hope Frontier will fix the problems with banked trackpieces because it is just impossible to make smooth transistions between banked trackpieces.
Would like to see the results ingame, to see how much Planet Coaster can value the knowledge you try to convey here. Excitement/fear/nausea and their representation on the tracks.
The first ever rmc hybrid doesn’t have a pre drop after the lift hill. The new Texas giant is the rollercoaster’s name and also like if you are watching in 2020
I don't know why but the speed / acceleration looks odd imp
While describing elements, you should throw pictures of the elements your describing to help people who aren't as roller coaster savvy :)
Thanks! A couple days ago I had a couple rides in "untamed" what an awesome coaster! So I definately got interested in making a hybrid in PC
I think you should do everything in this series in the same park, so people can see things from previous parts and also maybe add annotations by the coasters at the end of each episode linking to the video in witch each coaster was built.
Thanks for doing these videos Silv I check every day for new ones they help loads looking forward to big hyper/giga
When he starts building the first coaster, I see it under "custom." Does this mean that in order to build this I have to download this and implement it or is this the steam edition and I can just subscribe to the modification.
I have one question about the lab-brackets from the Steel Hybrid coaster, are they enough for the inversions?
The one on the left is a wooden GCI train on an RMC track. Why did Frontier add this....
I might be wrong Silv, but aren't the zero-g stall supposed to be zero-g? If so, doesn't the vertical G have to be +1 in the roll?
I'm not sure actually, I've never been on one. From what I've read on the internet, it actually feels somewhere in between zero-G and hangtime, though I'm not sure if that's true.
Silvarret zero g stalls are crazy it's like getting airtime upside down you just hang there floating it's my favorite element on any coaster
I haven't been on a zero-G stall, only zero-G, but on the zero-G It was still hard to tell if it was zero-G or somewhere close, It was just the name of the element that wouldn't make sense otherwise. (btw any hint to what tutorial is comming next?)
mTTTTn Zero-G is my favorite element so I can only imagine how good a stall must be. No tutorials planned at all, but I have been talking to a certain person about doing a terraforming tutorial in collaboration. I'll be super stoked if it happens.
I do think I know who that certain person might be, Its so impressive what some people can do with that tool, I could certainly use a few tips how to create beautiful lanscapes.
Could you please upload this to the workshop? That layout is awesome(even if it is "unrealistic").
I am a huge fan of RMC. Just genius idea and execution of that idea. I hope they continue building great coasters.
Your videos are great but, sometimes you take too long just to do one part of the coaster
But I’m Subscribed😎
Plz make one for topper track! Make it like lightning rod, outlaw run, Goliath, and wildfire.
My favorite hybrid coaster to ride is invadR at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg VA
You predicted Twisted Cyclone’s two-inversion-cobra-roll-or-twisted-horshoe-roll element!
