You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....
Blue Turbo replied to PCW_Nut's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You might be a coaster nerd if during a demonstration in physics class involving a cart running alone a track and there is tape at the end to stop it your mind goes "Ooh, skid brakes" -
What type of enthusiast are you?
Blue Turbo replied to arby's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I am a mix between Designer and Creator. The reason that I became an enthusiast is because of designing different roller coasters in RCT as a kid. -
Hanno's picture of the day
Blue Turbo replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember the first year I went to SFGAm I really liked Iron Wolf for some reason, rode it four times that day. The next year when I rode it and thought it was terrible, I literally have no idea why I would have enjoyed it the first time. -
Hi everyone, This is my first project in NoLimits 2, and it is still a work in progress. It is an Intamin Rocket Coaster with three launches and two inversions. Currently, the track is completed and I have started on supports. I still need to finish the supports, work on the terrain some more, and create the station. Thank you to Kumba9 for the name and train color scheme ideas. Please feel free to leave comments/suggestions on the project. And now, pictures: First launch and roll Bunny hill TWISTY! Hills after second launch Final hill, turn, and roll Final launch Trains (Still need to edit the cartextures)

I am getting sort of a church vibe from that station rendering -
The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread
Blue Turbo replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
For me Zeus was a pleasant surprise, but it might have been from the devastation that was Hades 360. Other pleasant surprises: Cheetah Hunt- I thought that it would be a good ride, but I was not expecting some of the airtime that it had, especially the top of the first hill into the figure-8 section. Viper (SFGAm) Backwards- I was not expecting much, especially since Batman backwards didn't really add anything. I already enjoy the ride normally, but backwards was great. It gave such a great feeling of being out-of-control as you really don't know what is going to happen next. Combine that with the airtime it already has and you've got a great ride. Unpleasant surprises: Manhattan Express- I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I rode that the first (and only) time. Green Lantern (SFMM)- Both times I have been on the ride it was really painful and not enjoyable in the least. The car was too balanced so we got no rotation which made the ride very unenjoyable -
The NL/NL2 Preview Thread
Blue Turbo replied to mcjaco's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
I starting working on a multi-launch rocket coaster in NL2. The track is finished and I have started the support (first time doing custom supports). It still needs a name a train color scheme (could use some help on those). Once I have those I can work on the station First launch and roll MCBR and small airtime hill Final turn and roll -
What even is that article? There was no logical progression of those paragraphs, it goes from record breaking revenues to randomly mentioning when CNN acquired Blackfish. But they had to slip it in there so that SeaWorld can't have any good publicity even though they clearly deserve it. CNN is just trying to ride on Blackfish as long as people will care, and that could be a long time if it wins an Oscar.

TPR New Front Page In Development!
Blue Turbo replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I chose option one. The twitter feed is very nice but it also reduces the size of the slideshow which I felt was a little to large on the second option. -
I don't know if you guys have seen this, but there is a petition on change.org for the Oscars to deny Blackfish a nomination for Best Documentary. Their reasoning for this is that it is not a documentary by the Academy Award standards and that the movie could potentially do damage to the employees of SeaWorld and the animals that people want set free because of Blackfish http://www.change.org/petitions/academy-of-motion-picture-arts-and-sciences-academy-awards-or-oscars-deny-a-nomination-of-best-documentary-for-the-film-blackfish-on-the-grounds-that-it-is-not-a-documentary

Which rides have given you greyouts?
Blue Turbo replied to rcjp's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The first time I rode Goliath at SFMM I greyed out slightly on the helix and the on the first loop in Viper at SFMM. I was in the front and I was bit expecting the sudden force of the loop and I greyed out a little
