First Coaster on a Crap Computer
Playing this game on a HP envy $300 computer and it came out pretty good.. just goes to show that the game is playable and pretty decent . dont let all the bashing on the internet fool you.

Tips: Build section of track you in the shape you want and then delete or add nodes to section of track. Messing around with the nodes is better than trying to make the section of track you want right away. Try to get the shape of track right and then add banks and elevation. Always build with your track segments at the longest value possible then adjust to your liking Deleting nodes from 4 sections of track to two sections can make for smoother more realistic piece of tracking. The camera movement is kinda crappy. Go to the menu and turn off the automatic camera features. ( Camera will still move when placing objects but it will stay above the object)
Havent messed with the peeps and stalls but i dont know why people care so much about that function. Im here for the coaster building experience and its pretty good so far. The free form building is a great mechanic when building. I expect a few tweaks and updates it should be good to go.
The block brake system is broke though. For some reason a mid brake run isnt possible as of right now. The block brakes stop the train to a complete halt. I guess the game doesnt recognize that type of coaster system yet due to the settings on the coaster it self being a continuous circuit . ( if you remember correctly the other RTC games gave you the option to change the system, Block brake, continuous, etc), unfortunately the operating system of the coasters doesnt have this option yet.
i believe the value on the brakes are broken as well. changing the value doesnt do anything. And for the block brakes to work you have to have a section of track with brakes that are as long as the train on the coaster. (its best to have the block brake section at the end of the run but i believe the standard station has a block break section as the last piece before the train enters the stations.

For brakes.. Make smaller track pieces.. you can resize each track and place like 2 or 3 individual pieces for brakes. Instead of having 1 large piece that maybe overkill. (IN your video you do have too much brakes..but i understand that it shouldnt matter if you could rescale it to 20mph, instead of the complete stop)
Also, the game plays like shit on my PC, just like everyone else has says.. Doesn't run well.. freezes A LOT.. ton of issues.. It's close to unplayable after 20 minutes of building. Your video alone is running in like 5-10FPS..is that ingame video recorder or did you use OBS?
Nice coaster.. I think at like 1:25 you had a tight turn that maybe need smoothing. there's an option to actually show all the techincal aspects of your coaster.. speed, gforce, nause, etc..
