Well it was a lot of work, particularly keeping the log on track during the 2 biggest drop, but its finally done! This uses SL physics and as far as I have seen is the closest thing to a true physics based roller coaster out there.

Huge thanks to Sarg Bjornson for providing the base on which this was built.

Looks fantastic Rasmusson, I haven't seen anything quite like that in SL before. What are your plans with this? package it up and sell it, build bigger/better/faster ones? look forward to seeing how this goes.

Wow. It IS awesome. Feels just like log ride! Needs sound though. Splashing water. Screams.

Well the current Flume Coaster will stay up for a while while some of the minor glitches are ironed out. The log sometimes falls off of the really big drop. I also need to add sounds, cosmetic tweaks. Further plans include different size logs (currently there is only a 2 seat log).

That's a very nice looking build. Great work.
