I must've been at it for at least 10 hours now. I just don't get it. Especially because my coaster in the OP actually satisfies the conditions... [sulk]
Thing I find hardest is the average speed, if I manage to get the Excitement / Fear on target the avg speed is always 35MPH, which, for whatever reason, just isn't working.
I can't say I hate this game, but I do feel your pain though. It's really disappointing when I make a roller coaster that I would consider to be well designed only to get something like 4-5 excitement rating even with plenty of scenery. The other thing is that fear does not seem to be calculated correctly as far as I can tell. Take for instance this ride I made (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz435ID7ySM)...somehow I have only 6 Excitement, but 9 FEAR....so basically very few of my guests ever ride this coaster. Personally I see nothing wrong with the coaster and I can't for the life of me, understand why the Fear rating is so high on this ride. I would really like to see a full line for the ride instead of having to resort to making some wacky insane uber coaster. I feel like it discredits the skill required to make more realistically designed coaster. The game should be rewarding to well designed coasters IMO, not just basing it on an algorithm which rewards long descends and boring linear designs.

You don't think it's that VERY end do you? Seems just a slight (and I do mean slight) fast going around that last bend into the station...
But I do love that coaster. It's awesome and I'd ride the heck out of it [haha]
