Fantastic work, it definatly shows the nature of the ride well. I also think the RAW idea is great too! (are you still going to release raw coaster footage on the standard DVDs) -

Pointless new attractions
dr.gumbo replied to DBru's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not for kids! I'm not trying to be rude but I don't think any of them where pointless (exept Deja Vu, despite how good it supposed to be), Disaster transport offered somethink different to the rest of the park. Top Thrill dragster was a record breaker, attarcting guests. Thunderhawk, the same reason as disaster transport. Geauga lake was quite pointless toward the end of it life but not for the people who admired the place. Son of beast, same reason as Top Thrill Dragster. The Parthenon acted as an indoor backup, X as something never done before. Disney's CA was intended to boost visitors despite failing and Hong Kong Disneyland offered a Disney park for southern Asia. In other words, they spat out what the park was looking for in the end, money! IMO I think Darknight at SFGAm was pointless since they already have something to toss in a shed. -
Intamin's New Website
dr.gumbo replied to Sticky Nicky's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They seem to be offering a 12 inversion rollercoaster, I wonder what the designs going to be like since its 2000ft longer than the 10 inversion version. -
The upcoming Slippery when wet. Where did they get inspiration for that, naming a ride after a safety notice!

NL-The Great American Twister

^ Bridge? -
Since a new NL track has'nt been posted for a while I thought I should break the chain and post one which actually has been done for quite a while. Named after the popluar kids game, Screwball scramble is a Maurer Sohne spinner based on the 'Spinball whizzer' at Alton towers. It contains the most elaborate supportwork I've done but it is'nt amazing. FACTS -Height:65ft -Speed:40mph -Length:1526ft -Elements (in order):Spiraling first drop, , twisted drop (based on 'Dragons Fury's first drop at chessington), Spinball whizzer turn (p1), Wildmouse turns, Helixs, Spinball turn (p2) Also, you can find better and more photo's here: www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/p4154 Enjoy, comments are welcome!

Fireball
dr.gumbo replied to haydawg149's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I thought it was quite good, it captured Gerstlauers style perfectly. However, speed up that lift! -
I think thats the 'Test track' style Cars ride confirmed. (I think) Its great there improving the park, I heard it wasn't up to disney standards but imagine if this opened by something that wasn't a multi-billion dollar studio, we would of been shocked by the level of theming. It just goes to show how much people expect from Disney.

Sepulcher [NL]
dr.gumbo replied to IwantRevenge's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Great ride, It had a good twists and turns and the forces were quite good despite how awkward they looked. However, I'm not a fan of that mid-ride launch but apart from that, it was great. BTW The rides 3276ft long -
^^ I don't know about anyone else since it has a lot to do with water I suggest these colours! PULSE_~1-071010164159001.bmp Anyone agree!

NL-The Great American Twister
dr.gumbo replied to dr.gumbo's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
^Its not supposed to be straight like on the Twister (see pic below) As for the beam through the track, where is it? EDIT: Also, heres a fantastic POV video of the Knoebels Twister (by 'pkdcoasters') just to get an idea of what the real ride is like. www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22460&highlight=twister Its a small picture but you can make it out -
This was my first attempt at building a woodie on NL and its the hardest ride and most time consuming ride I've made so far (It doesn't have much of a challenge since this is my third ride), mainly down to basing it on Knoebel's Twister, which in itself was based on Mr.Twister at Elich Gardens but I'll stop my complaining at introduce the ride... As you know, its based on the Twister which is (surprise!) a twister coaster which is 85ft high, 3000ft long and believe it or not it has 60 crossovers! Thats all I have to say so sit back and enjoy! (Also, check out my other two rides, The tempest and Operation X Project Rejuvination-A3.bmp Three station fly-bys! Project Rejuvination-A2.bmp This shot shows how hard it was to design this thing!

FALCON nl
dr.gumbo replied to da1daonly's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
That was a fantastic ride, however there are a few tweaks needed here and there so I made a more fine-tuned version for you. You'll get better through time... BTW I will get rid of the altered version if you wish so just tell me if you dont want it! Falcon.nltrack -

dr.gumbo replied to EuroTre's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Thats one of the most mad rides I've ever seen that has resonable forces. Definatly makes it more unique however, there are a few alterations that could be done here and there to improve it! -
