Stormworks Big Drop

Info
The stormworks big drop is an amusement park ride designed for nothing but having some fun. Other than its size it’s really not much of a vehicle, but it was a lot of effort to design it so that it works perfectly. First, it spawns in a mission, (or environment mod, whichever you feel like using) at the creative base, because It makes it harder for reuploading in this spawn format. It’s just way too big to upload as a vehicle when I’m using the extended workbench.

Operations Instructions
The controls are really simple and easy to use. It has an UP, DOWN, and STOP settings. The up and down move accordingly, and the stop will make the ride stop no matter where the car is. Due to limited visibility from the operating station I implemented an indicator to tell whether or not the ride has stopped. When the UP input is pressed from the bottom, the ride will slowly move upwards about 2 metres, stop for 1 second, and proceed to launch upwards. When it reaches the top, it will slow down slightly right before it hits the top (to prevent excessive g-force bearing on the passengers) and then stop, until the DOWN input is pressed. Similarly, when travelling back down, the ride will slow down right before the end to accommodate the rapid deceleration. The UP and DOWN inputs can be pressed at any time during the ride and it will immediately make the desired movement. As well i updated it to have an alternate control input on the ride itself, so you can control it without anyone at the operators station (good for use of singleplayer) Although this isn't really realistic most people aren't gonna use this for multiplayer with someone at the control station, so I included it anyway.

Features
The tower is equipped with decorative lights that will illuminate in a spiral pattern when they are turned on. These can be toggled from a switch in the Operator's station. It also has automatic lights that turn on whenever the tower is ascending. These are blue and orange and are VERY BRIGHT, so if you have lag problems I highly suggest using the DISABLE button to disable them before sending it up. As well, it has a dial to monitor Battery percentage and (heaven forbid) you need to recharge it, there's a charging port on the side.The ride also has a few safety features including yellow marking around the bottom of the ride to indicate where the ride contacts the base. When the ride is nearing the bottom, buzzers will activate to alert you to stand clear of the bottom of the ride. It also has entrance and exit stairs (so if you wanted to include it in an amusement park those parts are already in place).

Potential Issues
When the ride is just entering or launching from the platform it occasionally will stop for no apparent reason. This can be solved by bringing the ride back up (or down) again. When the lights are turned on, if your PC lags, it could cause damage to the bottom of the ride when going up. Other than that it seems to work flawlessly.

Fair Use
Please do not under any circumstances re-upload this. Respect for hard work it takes to make this.
