Sorry to be off topic, but does that say at the bottom that the Schwartzkopf was the Black Hole from Alton Towers? Would just be interesting to know where it's got to. Anyway I think the new Eurofighter trains look... Interesting...

Just found on Legoland site. Sounds exciting!

There is even one of those Chance Double Inverter's at Alton Towers and I have no idea why. It is physically THE worst ride I have ever ridden, including coasters, out of any ride. Unbelievably painful, seriously boring and it just doesn't actually "do" anything. Really hope it's removed soon.

I really love the swinging suspended coaster idea, glad that Vampire is still going strong But this ride physically looked unbelievable and was probably the top of my list of coasters in the world to ride.

Loved reading the tour! Thanks Andy

Ha , Minature golf ? The spa sounds like a winner though, give her the day treatment and give yourself a day of park time

^ Agreed, plus there is the fantastic waterpark if your fiancée isn't to into coasters.

Oblivion at Alton Towers yesterday just before the power cut...

Great customer service as always from Alton Was quite nervous at first after reading this as heading to the Towers tomorrow

Ha I think that's more because if in an American park they theme it to "America" it'd be a bit of an easy way out Anyway, fantastic pictures! I went to Chessington last year and was thoroughly impressed and at the moment, In my opinion it is leading the way in terms of the UK parks. (Out of Thorpe, Alton and Chessington) With Alton a very close second. The theming of Wild Asia is unbelievable and like you say the whole park looks great even if a few do need a good re-paint.

I was actually really pleased with how that turn ended up, pretty smooth, good forces and exciting/unique. Anyway, thanks very much for the feedback, I have gone and improved everything you mentioned about the coaster. I attempted to improve the terrain but couldn't get the hang of terraformer, I will keep trying in future but for now I couldn't get it, it's still better than before though. All G-Spikes are now gone too (Can't believe I missed them!) and the ride is in general a lot smoother. SandStorm X Car2-100412094928001.bmp SandStorm X Car2.nltrack

Thanks for the video Sorry if it's been mentioned, but what's happened of all this Tilly incident, we all knew it would die down but now it has, has anything changed?

Been doing quite well lately going back and finishing off a few old projects. Here is the most recent SandStorm! It was a B&M Floorless but felt it suited being an X Car a bit better. Also replaced the Lift with a Launch. Enjoy I know my supporting isn't great but it is improving, please rate the track istself, which on this one I think is actually pretty good. I'm really pleased with the layout and believe it is under the same category as Formule X or G-Force. SandStorm spoof3-100411110230004.bmp SandStorm spoof3.nltrack

Awesome TR thanks I haven't actually visited Thorpe yet this year due to preffering Chessington and Alton and also after having some diabolical trips last year, some time I'm going to have to pull myself away from the other 2. Great pictures by the way!

Thought I'd show off a bit more of this coaster as an attempt to get some interest/comments, Enjoy Forest Flurry-100406175731004.bmp Forest Flurry-100406175705003.bmp

Wow :o Looks incredible That is all... :O

Forest Flurry! This is a fun Maurer Sohne Spinner, I have custom supported this coaster as well as adding a few bits of my custom scenary! Have fun, it's definitely my joint favourite out of the ones I've created. Edit: Just realised there is a tree in the station!, how did I miss that!?!? Sorry Enjoy Forest Flurry.nlpack

^^^ I sort of get it, but whenever I have, it really has looked terrible. I have tried, but the shaping etc is always wrong But yeah, thanks

Apparently the air cannon's are now working properly as well as the smoke machines. Not confirmed though

Have you seen the new area? The fact it was previously Beanoland is unrecognisable! It's not a rip off, a re-theme of the highest quality has been pulled off at Chessington, Did you expect every ride to be ripped out and replaced? Laugh-out-loud.

^ Your not the only one.

WOW! That is all

I've decided to make this topic, one full of all of my coasters. Personally I felt I got as far as I could with the above coaster and so are carrying on with another from a while ago. It is a fairly large,launched spinner. I think the layout, g-forces and elements etc are all pretty good but I am really having trouble smoothing and supporting and I was wondering if anyone fancied collaborating, or even just having a look at it and giving me some tips. Thanks newtrack3.nltrack

^ That is true, although the reason for not doing them wasn't so much me being lazy it's that I really am poor at supporting and the supports would be almost/just as good if I used those pre-fabs. Anyway thanks for the feedback, I am going to keep working on it as I do really like the coaster. Think I may replace one of the lifts with a "launch like feature" Thanks again.

Fortune is a new Intamin Mega-Lite/Family Coaster It is sort of inspired by Th13teen at Alton Towers. Firstly I know the supports aren't very good but I was so pleased with the track I didn't want to spend a huge amount of time on the supports. Enjoy There has actually been a colour change since those screenshots. Any comments appreciated. newtrack35.nltrack
