Looks promising.

Bah! I've heard enough of the SAW franchise to last me a life time.

Wow, this has to be one of the best rides I've downloaded from this site. The layout is great, the building technique is good and its exceedingly original. The good -Great layout -Very fun racing element (the best I've seen) -Superb track work -Superb supports -Original idea The not so good -It wasn't entirely pump free. -Not exactly the longest ride ever made. My verdict Both fun and technically brilliant, well done! 9/10

/\ I always love a bad pun.

There's some funky elements in there, maybe a slight bit unrealistic but nice none the less. However, if you want to improve your ride you can follow the advice below: 1-Reducing pumps (jerks) - Increase the size of the vertex points but not to the point where its too big (it makes matters worse). Ride the ride and see wether it needs to be bigger or smaller. Also, keep sections to a similar length (20ft is a good one) so you can use the smoother (ctrl+g) effectively 2-Usage of launches and brakes - You should never use launches to avoid valleying and you should never use brakes (trims or MBCR) to keep the forces down. You should only use launches as a means of getting the train to a certain speed a the beggining of a track and you shouldn't use trims full-stop (unless you really want them) 3-Straight lifts or brakes - To straighten a section of track, simple select that section and press 'I'. For a lift, split the lift into three sections, increase the size of the middle one and straighten it. 4-Tunnel test - To avoid peoples limbs being sliced of, you need to select the whole track and put a tunnel over it. Then you ride the track and if you see anything that enters the tunnel other than the track, you need to change it 5-Supports - You can't really tell if your track isn't under-supported, you just have to use you instinct. Look at photos of rides similar to your to see how their supported and simple mimic it. Try to make your own supports rather than pre-fabs, people like it better when you do. (yeah, its recycled from other topics but I think it covers most of the basics hence why I re-use it)

Thanks for the photo's. I always wondered what this place turned out like, mainly because I couldn't be bothered to find out myself. It a shame they didn't think the place through better. Again, thanks for the photos.

Here's something for you to chew on. It's that invert I was working on a few weeks ago (Clicky). I could create some story explaining why I had to abandoned it but to be honesty, I just bored with it. However, I thought you all deserved to have a little look at it. MTI_L.nltrack

I used to do this when I had the game. In fact, I know a load of people who bought the game cheaply just to do it.

Guess what its called... http://www.parkworld-online.com/news/fullstory.php/aid/1017/New_ride_at_Flamingo_Land__Mumbo_Jumbo.html Seems like parks are running out of ideas for good ride names. Even so, I'm looking forward to it. Its nice to see a ride being built that I know I will be riding soon. EDIT: Links not working for some reason, just copy and paste the link into you address bar for search it on google or something.

Schools out for half-term! (in England)

That Suspended coaster update is probably one of the most interesting updates you've given us so far, and you've given A LOT of interesting stuff.

I always thought a 4D Transformers would be cool, I never thought they would actually make one. IMO, this ride is destined to be good.

You can still release your rides if you want, someone's got to take the bronze home. (unfortunately you can't take gold or silver since they released there rides before the dead line)

Wow, two entries. I'm going to have a hard time going through these. Anyway, the winner is 'Loefet' followed by 'jamjar'.

Just to remind people, the tracks must be posted by TODAY or they won't be counted.

/\ Great, I'll have a look at it later. Just to let you all know, I've extended the posting date to FRIDAY. Firstly inform people better and secondly, I don't have the time to look at the rides properly until then. Good luck to everyone!

/\ Yeah, I though I sent a PM back but it seems I forgot too. Thanks for that BTW.

/\ No unfortunately. Just to inform everyone, you've got until Wednesday to post your ride.

Just to let you's know, I've smoothed out most the ride. In addition, I've decided to re-work the ending a bit and once that's done I can start work on the landscape. No pictures unfortunately .

I'm starting to wonder what they'll theme SW6 at Alton towers too?

Bah!

^ Thats what I thought, too me it looks like its going to be a twister. (most likely a GCI) Nice photos Robb!

Mack = New Intamin?

Actually, that would help a lot. And yes, I can test your track too if you want. I'll PM you later with the download. You'll find out when its released.
