It may be easier than no limits, but as a TPS user, it has one HELL of a learning curve. You need to have some sense of what to do, which means you gotta watch those tutorial videos.
I must kindly disagree. In my first tries at making a coaster, I was able to sculpt terrain, lay down a station and track and ride my coaster in a few minutes - under 10 minutes total time.
In NL2, which I also own, it took my 10 minutes just to understand what to do. I have yet to create something good with NL2 and it cost me over $100 for the Pro version. I'll take TPS over NL2 any time. With all the new, easier to use features that have been implemented, not only is it easier to use, but more powerful, too.
