I cannot for the life of me figure out how to not increase my coasters fear rating an insane amount by doing loops. Every time I do one, no matter what kind of coaster or how big or small, the fear ratings go through the roof. Tips? I'm going crazy, I just want a cool loop through an archway. [rolleyes]
Work with loops?

In general, fear mostly comes from high G forces. If thus is happening in loops, it usually means you're going too fast for the turn radius of the loop. So either make the loop bigger or brake the coaster before entering the loop. In general, the loop should be teardrop -shaped so it has bigger radius at the bottom where speed is higher, and tall enough that the coaster slows to ~15-20mph going over the top.
Check the heat maps for fear. This will pinpoint where the Gs are too high
