Me: I'll build wooden coasters in planco as they don't need custom supports Silv: Hold my beer

it would be so ironic when frontier would publish an update for gci supports

Me: I should play planet coaster Silvarret: *does magical things* Me: *quits game, binges custom support videos instead*

While California's Great America does have some residential development nearby, It's pretty far away from that end of the park. That said, Gold Striker is built right up next to office buildings. During the approval process in the ride's construction, the landlords of these buildings levied noise concerns about it. Great America and Santa Clara were able to work out a deal and the coaster was built. More tunnels, walls, and styrofoam were also added after some testing. Also, nice work. Hope I can work up the patience for this stuff sometime.

The lay out is so good and really representative of a real GCI coaster. I love the details you put in this project for realism. You inspire me so much.

Not the hero we thought we wanted, but the hero we needed

when the finished product was uploaded before you uploaded yours

You’re a god.

I have never thought about realistic coaster building...it is a total mass if crazy when you start thinking about the things that planet coaster basically ignores realistic supports in many minor things. You do a wonderful job explaining what you did that was realistic and why you decided not to do other things not realistic. I know very little about coaster companies; I just enjoy the coaster ride experience 🐙

Its weirdly satisfying for me to watch you place all those wooden supports. Am I weird?

The cross bracing on the fences is due to the higher wind speeds higher up off the ground. Fences like that would need some sort of lateral support, which the track supports already provide. But you still need to provide coaster clearances... hence the "tunnel" look

I didn’t realize how much I needed this today.

Skip forward? Are you crazy? Listening to you ramble is a very calming thing! Love the coaster Silv!

Listening to this while custom supporting my wood coaster recreation! Thanks for helping me not go insane!

This is one of my favourite coasters ever from you. It just screams GCI. I fucking love it!

I'm pretty sure this doesn't have anything to do with GCI's but the brake runs on some Schwarzkopf coasters, especially the travelling ones, are very steeply banked and make for a kind of strange experience riding on straight track that is tipping you to the side. I could be wrong but I think this might be because it was easier to maintain the banking of the curve before the brake run, into the curve after it instead of designing the transitions into and out of the brakes.

I didn’t like the metal supports at first. But they grew on me. Nice touch silv

Thanks for explaining why GCI breakruns are banked, I always wondered why that is :D Listening to this episode like a podcost while building my own stuff in Planco :D

this is incredible man - absolutely worth the long working time!

i can see a some wildcat inspiration in this, the drop is literally 100 percent the same, and the turnaround where the fence is reminds me of it too

21:14 Mystic Timbers @ KI has a more noticeable bank, it goes from banked to flat as you enter the ride shed (before "The Shed")

I have watched both parts and found them very informative. Thank You Silvarret, this looks fantastic!

Ha! Josh not only has the Reputation being insanely accurate (fury, haunted mansion and his happily ever after recreations) BUT in never finishing these :P jokes aside i am happy He took Gambit and tries to finish it! Cant wait for the result. You spoke about the decorative planks on gcis and i did a lot of Research when i built mine and i couldnt find anything. They are just kinda there.

I love GCI coasters and I thank you for being dedicated enough to not only start one but to finish it as well. Thank you!

I think the reason why Gold Striker has half tunnels is to support the large sound boards. The world be a bit flimsy if they didn’t have anything holding it on the side.

My god Silv. it is a masterpiece and EXACTLY why i love watching your PC stuff. Your attention to detail is unrivaled and i can't get enough, you do phenomenal work.

Those cross-supports help keep the wind from blowing the fences over

Wow the coaster looks so amazing😍all off your coasters are build so much in detail, love it🎢

Not only was this efford amazing and well executed, i actually learned a couple of things, like the soundproufing and turn transitioncatwalks. Also the POV was surprisingly smooth, I always use the 4m technique but this proves you don't have to. atleast in case of a woodie thanks for the video!

Holly smokes this is absolutely perfect.

I live 5 mins from great America. Love gold striker. Insane speed and drops and curves.

Very majestic coaster. I love it.

I'm currently doing a gold striker recreation and this video has been very helpful. Thanks Silv!!!

What a monumental task. It looks awesome! Welcome back Silvaret. It's nice to see you in PC again. We have missed you.

is there gonna be a POV of jagerhorn or did you drop that project already?

The banked brake runs are typically only used on their magnetic brake runs, which isn’t really seen on other wooden coasters, hence why GCIs are the only ones that have it.

I don't even play PlanCo, but I love your content and I try to apply some of the design philosophy in NoLimits 2, which I picked up recently. Great content, man!

And again, amazing work!

You really nailed those snappy gci-transitions, great work! By the way another good example for soundproofing on woodys is Heide the Ride at Plopsaland De Panne. The whole coaster is "fenced off" to one side there.

the beams next to the fence might be so the fence is more stable against strong winds

So like, masochism is your thing? Aside: the "open tunnel" is to support the fence against wind.

incredible coaster

I cry watching this, omfG ure amazing!

Man I’d love to ride this. It looks so good.

I love it. Id ride that gci. Beautiful job.

Looks awesome.. and as keeping the ride low to avoid making supports, this isnt cheating at all that is pretty accurate to how real rides get designed too 😂

The "tunnel" of supports on those walls are for wind bracing. Wood is a very good material for taking certain kinds of loads but handling wind on a large surface area is not an ideal application

I think in regards to the planks that cover across the middle of the rails - another reason for them I heard is that they are put on at any point the track is over something (other track or paths) as well, although I'm not sure on the exact truth to that, but it definitely makes sense from a health and safety standpoint to stop things falling on your head if you're under wooden track at any point. There's a small wooden pirate window which I used to cover mine up with, they almost perfectly fit between the rails, but the only problem with those is that it's rather a pain to have them connect up cleanly on more complex tracks. The same windows made for pretty good fences that GCI's love to put on the side of their catwalks for sound dampening. Another thing I've seen GCI do - especially on Wickerman is that they have two running rails of wooden planks that runs along the track under you as well, but I have absolutely no idea what the function of those are as they don't look incredibly structurally strong or clean enough to be expressly an alternative to a full cover to allow maintenance to walk over to cross the track.

The 2 helixes ate the beging look like the helixes that you can see on baron from Joris en de draak when your hanging

I could swear RMC also put a slightly banked brake run on one of their wooden/hybrid coasters...

I live by Gold Striker, and I never noticed the soundproofing foam! That's really interesting!

This looks brilliant!

cinematic was 10/10

Beautiful Coaster! Am I the only one who's hearing Sting's "English man in New York" with some african vibes at 32:35 ? :D

It is still amazing and enjoyable to watch how this stuff is made. And nice to see a Silvarret POV. Still waiting for that Jagerhorn POV ;P

this is insane!

Alligators have a U shaped snout, Crocodiles have a v shaped snout.

Been waiting for this

Yo sick episode really looking forward to the station

Hey, I found your Channel because of your awesome Amar City Series (: I'm glad that I discovered you

Alligators noise is U shape and Crocodiles noise is a V shape is the easiest way to know.

omg I LOVE this layout.. hands down your best coaster you have made.. its soo realistic ..theirs one thing I would change though.. the airtime hills that's In that turn around into break run. I would take those out and do a upward helix that's inside that turn around. or have a turn around /helix/ air time hills that's inside that turn around structure or have it on the out side of that turn around.... think about it. I think it would make the ride complete.. or a really cool ending to the ride.. will this ride be available for download in steam??? love you bro!!! you rock.....

*looks at video lenght* Oh boy, over 30 minutes of Silvarret goodness!

Well well well, you missed all the planks that'd go perpendicular to the track and vertically diagonally within the side supports. Please start over. >:( Haha, I guess that's a decision made on purpose to one no loose your sanity, two save on piece count and three you don't see them anyway. Nah that's just a perfect GCI. Once again with your coasters, a perfect blend of realism and originality! Another nitpick would be the storage track, looks cramped and an after thought (whereas it's actually the very first thing GCI places when designing a layout #trivia) . Also no to the steel support at 32:19 - you can't have a support and its fundation above a tunnel. I can't wait for Mask and Jonti to theme this beauty!

Gambit was 2 years ago? Wow, time flies and all that.

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it looks soooo cool!!!!!!!

Nice POV. I was thinking what a fast coaster. But at the end I realized I still had the video in 1.25x speed. Doh!

31:49 nice edit

27:30 I bet the 'tunnel' shaped supports are just to reinforce the fence, so a strong gust don't blow them away or something.

you are a Master

Now you can finally finish planking the base of Volvara

Very ambitious but i think you can make something amazing of it. Just watched the entire video..

Good Video

wow ziet er erg goed uit. Zeker de dip onder de weg na de eerste afdaling doet me een beetje denken aan Untamed.

wow just wow

Very smooth for not being 4m

Fun fact: Gold Striker actually has black styrofoam now. They changed it within the last year or two.

I like long episodes.

TIL those planked sections are for crossing the track if it breaks down.

👏👏👏

What are your graphics settings at? I have mine all on high and it doesn’t look half as good as this

How many pieces did this end up being?

something one of my viewers said / pointed out to me, and i don't know if its completely true or not, but a GCI coasters layout will never pass under its first drop. Due to its structure supporting the force of the train on the main drop. Now i don't know if this is true or not, but from looking at various GCI layouts it seams like it could be

Hello Silvarret, I have a question: Are You dutch? Bc i saw that you comented something in dutch. (It was a Walibi Untamed vid that You comented on.) And do You have a Discord group?

Hi I’m late here, I’m building a recreation of el toro, and I’m sick of all the unnecessary wooden supports on the sides. I want to keep it clean and add on as I need, is there a way to have cleaner auto wooden supports?

What are the hex codes for the coaster track colors? It looks so natural!

You mentioned the SUPPORT you got for the last video, lol

Next time on Planet Coaster College: How to make buttery smooth, slick cinematic edits.

27:00 oh I thought it was because you wanted to torture yourself lol.

I love the music!!!! Name please??!!!?

Only people that watched the whole 33 minute video can like this.

Wasn't that the reason for the new trains of GCI (partially) so they could go beyond - 1G on airtime hills?

Whats the name of the song at the end? I had a look on Epidemic Sound, I can't find it.

i made joris en de draak in planet coaster (only the coasters)

15:20 Haha.

Prefer the longer episodes.... Let’s get back to your other planet coaster projects... finishing jägerhorn would be great :)

Ooohhhh boi Idc if you sound salty, I still wanna see more of what this content has been. Thanks for asking!

Hello, Silv. I f you think you are getting way too much footage for doing the supports alone, maybe you could just show us how you build the support for a section of the coaster. You don't have to show us everything especially if it's getting repetitive already. :) It'll save you much more time and space in your pc. You can also just show us a finished section of the supports and explain a bit what you did there, just like what you sometimes do in your Parkitect videos. More power! Can't wait to see you work on Jagerhorn and Volvara again! I binge watched them the other day. Now I'm spoiled. I don't think I can find someone better than you when it comes to this game. lol

If its anoying to do the support work on a GCI in Planet Coaster, i did build a GCI with realistic supports in NL2.... So fucking anoying! i needet more days to do this 😂

Half an hour of you placing sticks, and im supposed to be glad you cut out of a lot of footage? Yeah i skipped right up untill the end for the cinematics and the ride. Very smooth but perhaps a wee bit relaxing. If that is ok with a rollercoaster ride?
