Yes, I agree with you. There should be a long drop and as you said, that would be less intense.
Talking about Woodie's, I wonder if it is possible to implement an RMC coaster type into OpenRCT?
That seriously would be the bomb!
Imagine an RMC in RCT2!
I imagine though, it would require a lot of work and could only be done when OIpenRCT no longer uses RCT2.
Maybe a future development perhaps?
We will have to wait and see.
