Krakatoa is an ultra high speed coaster built on two mountain peaks (hence the park's name - Twin Peaks). It features a 159 mph top speed, 870 foot initial drop, major terraforming, and EFN numbers of 7.2, 5.7, and 1.9. Don't be fooled the the serenity above. Down below in the cracks-of-doom volcanic activity is churning away.
I found it challenging to build a rideable 150+ mph coaster. Getting the high velocity required going from well above the maximum ground elevation possible in PC all the way to the lowest deep in the bowels of the earth. Then there's the matter of taking a 150 mph coaster heading almost straight down and revectoring it toward the sunlight without turning the riders into mush with extremely high g-forces. At these speeds the least track roughness turns into major fear and nausea numbers. In the end I managed to accomplish it and I actually had some fun doing it. Park visitors seem to like it also - with a prestige of 1326 they're calling $16 ticket prices cheap.
The park at the base of the mountains is deliberately kept small to keep frame rates as high as feasible (the coaster is over two miles in length and is just plain massive).
