Fix My Coaster Layout Ep. 08: Wildcat by Risiko

Welcome to the next episode of "Fix My Coaster Layout"!
In partnership with MickanMan's RCT Station, we are reworking user submitted RCT1 or RCT2 layouts with suggestions on how to improve things like flow or realism. We'll review the original and go on a step by step build process for the suggestion. This may include scenery and landscaping in some instances too. In the following episode, we'll review each other's layout attempts and move on to the next one.
After more than a year we've returned with a new episode. Risiko brings us a Schwarzkopf Wildcat layout that's already pretty good in its own right. I'll put my own spin on it, however, and we'll set it up for some nice custom theming in the end which I really think makes the ride in the end. Let's take a look at the process and the final product. Thanks to Risiko for the layout submission!
If you'd like to submit a layout, please send us the track file or park file to [e-mail]. We can receive .td4, .sv4, .td6, .sv6, and .park formats.
Check out Andrew at MickanMan's RCT Station for his attempt at this layout and to see the video for Episode 07:

Ugh I’m so happy this series is back! So good, man. I gasped when I saw the final coaster!

Why is it important for the coaster to be off the ground?

[@AmusementAcademy]

From a realism standpoint, you're not going to see coaster track directly on the ground since you've got to get a footer and a support or track connection underneath. You also have the train itself and the upstop wheels and chassis to consider. So from a realism standpoint, we always go one off. There are certainly exceptions to this rule, but on the whole not too many!
