Coaster needs testing

[M1rth]

So I've completed a fancy coaster, but I need some feedback. It works for me, but others have had issues with boosters sending them backwards. I suspect this is due to lag, as it has happened to me as well, but I'd like a wider sample to draw from so...

Here's a map from the Parkway warp. Just walk East to the road, then turn right (south).

And here's a picture so that you know when you're there.

I appreciate any and all feedback.
Thanks!

PS If the button doesn't send you up the hill, it's because the booster kart is out of position (also a lag issue... i think). You need to take the kart after it drops, go the the top of the structure and drop it down this ramp:

The cart should be balanced on the edge of the door, like so:

This shouldn't be necessary, but the autobooster isn't 100% reliable yet...

Hey i just tested this. kinda? The place where i get stuck is the first place where you set the rider on fire,(after you go down the long spiral shaft) and then you dous them with water. the water seems to want to de-rail the minecart for me.

Also, i had the backwards booster problem right after you get into that "tunnel" after the water-dousing. i had to get out, destroy the cart, then place the cart back, manually pushing it till i could get on and get on with the ride. The 2nd(?) minecart booster of the tunnel is whats sending me backwards (not sure if other people are being sent backwards at the same place)

I will have to say though, thats an amazing ride. must've taken a long time to get that done.
Also, i'd like to give you an award for Best Lag-Ride. haha. the lag was incredible.

Thanks!

Edit:

I also added a crafting table at the entrance. Hope you don't mind that. i just didn't have a minecart, and i had wood and iron, so i thought maybe that'd be a nice addition in case someone else didn't ahve a minecart. i put a sign on it just so you'd know that it wasn't some random joke or something.

That's a great idea, thanks! I'll take a look at the fire extinguisher. The tunnel booster was definitely a lag issue.

I will be going on as soon as my mac updates so I may play again, I was also just wondering. what texture pack is that your using?

 

[M1rth]

That's Misa's 64 bit texture pack. Usually on the front page of the texture pack forum.

Thought I couldn't figure out how to get the booster to work (should have read farther), I took my cart up the hill a bit and started from there. Wild ride M1rth, wild ride! Very cool. I didn't get stuck anywhere and lag was fairly cooperative.

I also got sent back at the same point.

I had the same problem as Zenbunny with the water thing, I caught on fire later on also, I don't remember exact position and it won't let me login to the server to find the spot.

I had to get out and push about 2 other times but can't remember where they were, other then that the ride was very cool, good job!

That starting booster is almost more trouble than its worth. Either I need a better design or I need to scrap it. For now I'm going to suggest that people start from the top of the hill if the booster isn't working.

That water one is funny. I've never had a problem with it myself, but I've watched other people get stuck on it. It's too bad because I really like the idea.

As for the other bouts of burning, I think I've tracked down and removed the causes, but I'll have to wait and see what people get for results.
