I don't know where he got his textures from but you can find good ones all over the internet (try filterforge.com), anything white-ish will do for fog.

It was a fair attempt but it wasn't perfect. Let me elaborate... The good -You got the scales pretty much spot on The not so good -Isn't very accurate trackwork-wise -Parts that should have been straight wern't -Needed some serious smoothing at parts. My Verdict A nice try, but some parts need a lot of work. Try using Loefets track shapes and supports to create straight lines and circles. -
I do know how to use ObjectCreator but I'm no expert at it, I've never done anything that complicated before. What you need is the full version of the Construction kit which allows you to transfer your track to .3ds. Unfortunatley I don't have it but you could ask someone to do it for you (if you don't have it yourself that is). BTW-It looks awesome!

Still looks awesome, much better than I thought it would. I really hope it ends up as good as it looks. PS-Does anyone know how much it cost to build? -
I'm trying something different this time so bare with me... The Good -Its fun -Its well presented And the not so Good -Its quite pumpy -Its far too short -Its laterals were abismal. My verdict It looks like gold but the trackworks lacking and the fun doesn't last. 6/10

This is beggining to remind me of the Williams Grove Cyclone. -

The whole situation is similar to what happened with here with in Newcastle involving Metroland. Only a small handful 'properly' cared about the park UNTIL it was closed down. All of a sudden, everyone started to bitch about how inconsiderate the owners are and such. Yeah, its a shame its gone but you have to ask yourself if the good points out-weight the bad. You can say whatever you want about them but if the park was such a great place, it would be making them money. I can see why Cedar fair told them to 'Put your money where your mouth is' because they knew and ACE knew it wasn't worth it in the long run. Unfortunately, I can only see this thing being bulldozed to the ground. -

I was talking about you the other day about wether you were ever going to listen to us (I thought you gave it up all together). This thing proves me and others wrong and its great that your beggining to listen to our advice. It doesn't look to shabby either. -

Heres a picture of where its being built from Google Earth. You can see buildings between Cornball and this on the pictures so it's quite far out from the rest of the park. Its a bit strange but there must be a reason behind it. -

It appears the video gave a more RCT-ish image than the real thing, which is certainly a good thing. The opposite banked turn doesn't look as impressive as I though it would but the ride as a whole looks utterly mad (especially the downwards heartline). -

I still don't get how people can waste 10 or 20 minutes making these things. As long as its a one-off, I don't really mind them. Speaking of which, what happened to coastb. Did we (or I) scare him off or something. -

Well, I'm done with trying to fixing this thing so the video will have to do. Someday I might find out whats wrong with it and fix it but in the mean time, enjoy the video! -
^ Wasn't to sure about the station! That was one of the highlights for me. Well, everyone has their opinions I guess.

1. Wood or steel? 2. Type (launched, lift hill, etc)? 3. Inversions? 4. Key elements (trick track, ejector hills etc)? 5. Manufacturer? 1-Wood 2-Lift 3-Yes 4-Stegnal dives, loops. 5-You I'm talking woodie, STEEL INTAMIN STYLE. It would be mad, fun and original -

I wouldn't be suprised if this ride exceeds peoples expectations considering all the hate its been getting. Saying that though, it could easily be as bad as most think it will be. I personally have faith in it but only time will tell. I think it will either fail like the Arrow Pipeline or end up being an important landmark like the B&M Invert, at the moment it could sway either way. But thats why I'm so interested in the ride, its future is nearly unpredictable unlike most of the rides being built at the moment. -

^ It worked in NoLimits? If it did, Yay! And just to point out someting, why did you only comment on the signs. I spent much more work on the other parts of the ride aswell. Unless you didn't ride it with all the 3DS. (check the first post to see what it should look like) -

^ Thanks for the comments. I've given up trying to fix this so this is the best you can get. I'm really peeved off about this because I put tons of work into this and when I finish it, it doesn't work. You can't really ride it properly in the video and thats really annoying. BTW If you do watch the video, PLEASE COMMENT. -
I love photos of wacky foreign parks. Their really interesting to look at mainly because of how random they can be. I remember starting a thread on that Blue Coaster a long time ago and its exactly the same since when I started it. Why spend money on a ride that just wouldn't work at all, the money could be spent on much better things. It makes you think, doesn't it. Thats why their so interesting.
