My local amusement park, Oaks Park, released that they were considering adding an RMC Wild Moose to their lineup. However, they would have to remove their go-karts if they wished to get the standard layout from RMC. They hoped that it might fit in the parking space next to the go-karts, but due to the L shape of the lot, this wasn't possible. However, I decided to try to create a layout that would not only slot perfectly into this space but also fix many of the problems that the RMC layout had (possible valleying issues, inconsistent pacing, uncomfortable transitions, etc).
When I presented this layout to the ride director and CEO of Oaks Park, they were very receptive of it and, though an addition like this is years down the line for a small park like Oaks, they wanted to stay in contact with me as they moved forward the project. In the meantime, they were interested in me releasing this POV on my channel to see what others thought of the concept.

LAYOUT FEATURES:
• World's FIRST outer banked drop!
• Several sustained floater elements
• Giggle inducing twists and turns
• Forces and transitions that are comfortable and appropriate for younger audiences and a class four restraint system
• Slight outwards lateral forces on every turn to enhance sense of speed and add a greater out-of-control feeling (a common technique on wooden coasters)
• More consistent pacing and forces allowing for a "pure fun" ride experience
STATISTICS (RMC layout statistics in paratheses):
• Length: 1,170ft (1,260ft)
• Top speed: 35mph (35mph)
• Height: 50ft (47ft)
• Footprint: ~11,000ft² * (~11,500ft²)
• Duration (lift to brakes): 33s
*Footprint could be significantly reduced as described in "other notes"
Other notes:
• The footprint could be made even smaller if the turnaround at the top of the lift was tightened up and the drop at 0:31 was a falling S hill, turning to the left sooner and immediately rising up into the midcourse brakes.
• Yes, that is the satellite data from google earth in NoLimits 2. No, I am not a wizard.
• This project took roughly 15 hours over the course of 4 days to complete.
• At the time of writing this I work full time at Oaks Park as a ride operator and am a second year student at the University of Denver studying mechanical engineering.
