Just to kill of some well earned time!

^ I'm sure you can do it, I have made mine under 100ft and I think the pacing is great, its not butter smooth and its not a complete airtime machine but for a completly handmade coaster I think its a job well done. All I'm saying is that you should keep trying, but who am I too say that you should make it or not!

Well, I guess three's a crowd so I'll put up the poll for the name. Thanks to the people who did contribute and good luck. (You have one week from now to deside) Also, Dbru I've altered your bit VERY slightly by moving it a little bit futher away so that the turn isn't so tight. The next person can start now. 2008_track_tennis_598_254_102[1].nltrack

^ Really, thats weird. I'll try and post it again!

I like the new colours personallly.

What was the last ride you released on here? Just wondering what it was. Anyhow, this ride is'nt your best, it had pumps here and there and the layout is'nt anything new. I noticed you released this on Coaster crazy, I've released a few of my rides on that and Coaster sims, every one of my rides I released on it has got a seven on both sites but there is a lot of competition on them sites hence the reason why I don't release my rides on them very often. Sorry for the irrelivent post there. I had a moment where my mind just went for a wednesday stroll!

Yankee cannonball, check your mail!

This is the type of news I like to here at the beggining of my holiday. It's fantastic that Universal Orlando is getting a new rollercoaster, however doesn't the one in Hollywood need a new coaster. (Unless they can't build one for whatever reason, I could understand why they can't)

It was well presented but the ride was very choppy and as Dbru said above, try and use con-roll.

In one word...EPIC!

Hmm! I've only got one name suggested so far... ONE!!! I'm quite sure you could think of something to suggest. Either that or the person who has sent a name in will go against mine and I'm sure you want a bigger choice than two. (thanks to the person who did send a name in, don't reveal yourself yet)

I do know what I'm doing, the engineering coarse I was offered was mainly aimed at people below me in academic acheivment. What I do have going for me is (not to be bragging or anything) a very good understanding of maths, one of the best infact in my year. I am good at sciences and a great artist. I am also one of the best at Technology. Another thing is that this is the first year it was offered to my year meaning the people who wanted to become an engineer before me had to do it the way I did it. I do know what I'm doing and even if things don't go right, I have over plans to cover for that. Besides, who said I wanted to design rides technically! (I'm enjoying this conversation, it will be interesting to see how things turn out for use)

Recently I was given the option to do this engineering course as part of my options but I did'nt chose it for a few reasons. Mainly because I have to give up loads of other subjects which I'm very good at. I share your passion to become a Ride designer and I have to say your doing a damn good job at acheiving this dream. I'm trying a different route to become a ride designer so I hope it works out. Good Luck with this, follow your dreams and remember, someones gotta do it! (thats coming from someone youger than you, is it a good thing, I dont know)

Rita-Queen of speed

I made a few alterations to the brake and removed the vertical incline ( sorry jamjar, it did'nt have enought speed to complete anything with it) Here's the download for the next person! 2008_track_tennis_598_254_138_136_902_228_198_105_196[1].nltrack

That looks fantastic, it's not too adventurous meaning it might just work. Keep it up! (which obviously you have to)

I think its time to chose a name for the ride so I want you to sent a message to me with your suggestion for a name. Then I will put them up on a poll and see which one is the most popular! Could you sent your name suggestion in by the end of today or it wont be counted (unless I make an exception)

Far to slow for my liking (V3), I personally liked 'Steel eagle' but its up to you which one you chose to up in the contest.

Lightwater Valley! Where can I start. First I would tear out that horrific Pinfari and add a nice family flat ride, possibly a Breakdance with some landscaping. I would give the Ultimate a makeover (new trains, track alterations without loosing its madness). I would also add some little effects to the Rat ride such as UV lighting with red rat eyes on the walls. I would stop buying tons garbage from dead parks and invest in something bigger such as a flat ride every three or two years. I would also try and save up for a big schwarzkopf, its done wonders for Flamingolands and Camalots reputation and I think Lightwater Valley deserves something like this. I always thought this place has potential, it holds a charm that its rival FlamingoLand does'nt. With a little more investments the park can become a major theme park rather than a small park which happens to have the Ultimate.

My concern is that ride is going to be VERY expensive and VERY unreliable. The problem is when you first go into the industry with an concept like that. It isn't going to sell unless the company has a good background but even that is flawed (Arrow and X) . If you are going to go into the industry you need to introduce an idea that a park can buy without risk. You could bring in your design later on but only when the time is right. Don't take it as criticism, just some well earned advise!

Sorry for the double post but I'm just tinkering with the ride at the moment, I want a few people to test it and give a DETAILED review (to me only by post). Just post me and I'll sent the ride to you. It won't be the final version, just to let you know!

^ As I said on the other thread, I'm altering it to fit in with the rules. Thanks for the comments BTW

^ Awesome, the only thing I don't like is the colours (the werewolf) but apart from that it looks great!

TEASER Yup, its the original version of the ride (well second version actually)

I've altered my part a bit to improve it, here's the new download. The next person can start now! 2008_track_tennis_598_254_138_136_902_228.nltrack Enjoy!
