hyyyper

The Construction Kit, when registered, could export to *.3ds, not since it's no longer available, I don't think you can.

look into picture of real zeroGrolls and look at how other people make them.

Is it dark or completely black? If it's totally black, I'd say something went wrong with the conversion or NoLimits just doesn't like rhino.

^ Excellent one

Almost all the major parks in the Netherlands have a bus connection to the nearest station There is a site that gives you a route using only public transportation. It's a great site, but totally in Dutch. www.9292ov.nl

Just upload the *.nltrack like you would upload a picture

I wanna use tilt-shift so badly, but it appears I don't have any shots from an elevated position. bummer.

Who needs Hard Rock Park when there is...... ....Blues & Jazz Park

This video is great. A friend of mine showed me it yesterday, claiming somebody made a movie about me

NL1.7 has the great feature of coloring individual supports. There are a few ways of getting the handrails a different color. The fastest way is this: Let NoLimits generate auto supports. Then delete every bit of handrail you see. Now move the track up with an easy and exact amount, say 60 feet. Start the support generator again and fill it in like the picture below. Now you should have: 1. a whole lot of supports without handrail and track on the ground. 2. the track and handrails floating in the air up high. Now you simply select all of the handrails, color them the way you want, and move them down with the track that exact 60 feet. If you have any troubles, we'll hear about it.

The track is cardboard. They put it over there to distract of from the real project: A rocket to launch track parts to the moon.

the S&S screaming squirrels have drops of 180 degrees.

^I am interested as hell. To bad my bank account isn't. If I get my master's degree and job in a few year, I'm in.

One other thing you could do is try to model a train yourself, with pictures and/or videos of the train. Then let the program calculate the weight. Since your attending Uni, you should be able to acces a CAD program. The model doesn't have to be that detailed, just about the same dimensions. Also, your project isn't gonna fail because you got the weight wrong. It's the approach, calculations and final report that matter.

I was able to hit 4 parks in two days in the high-season easily. I didn't want to do everything, but I ended up hitting everything that wasn't for toddlers. Thank god for Extra Magic Hours.

^lol, they could've at least changed the color scheme.

Why would you manufacture track in the USA and then ship it off to Asia, when you might as well build the track in Asia itself, saves you a looot of shipping costs. No, the most logical guess is that this is staying in the USA. But what park would need a looper? Judging from the radii of those track pieces, I won''t be a small one either.

lol, yes, I understand that. But how does knowing the weight going to help him build an exact replica of the train, you'll need a lot more info to doing that.

^It's just a train weight, what's the kid going to do with it?

I have flown 3 times with AA, I had nothing to complain about, and the food was better than Delta.

You should first sort out how much money you want to spend. Flying into te USA usually costs around $700-800. Then you'll need a car, hotels and food. As for choosing parks, the USA is basically divided into: NorthEast, MidWest, Southwest, Florida and California. These areas have a lot of themeparks, yet between them is usually a lot of driving distance. Look the parks up on rcdb.com and go to the parks that have the best coasters. On a side note, if you're going to do an 'all-wood' trip, you'll miss out a lot of good steel coasters in whatever area you're visiting.

You guys must remember that they aren't building this on a huge flat piece of concrete. This coaster is being build over the main street, which has besides a street where people have to walk over, a lot of buildings to the sides. So they have a lot of limitiations of where to put there supports, this is the result.

Glad you like it. I took about 1471 pictures in three weeks, so what I posted in the PTR is by far not everything I shot. The camera I use is a Canon Powershot SX 100 IS. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082004canonsx100is.asp And I'm also very excited for West Coast too. The problem was that I bought the camera on the vacaction literally (low dollar ) so I had to learn the camera while on the trip.

Strenght has little to do with it, as long as you support it properly. It's not that 2-rail track will break down if a train goes over it pulling 5 G's. The reason why Intamin uses different styles is because they can save money that way. 4-rails in the strongest, but also the most expensive. So if you need to build really high support on a hill, and you use the box-track, you'll need fewer supports, because the track is that strong. And because high supports cost the most, you'll save money because you need fewer of those. If you're low to the ground, small supports don't cost as much and you use 2-rail, because the cheap track prize compensates for the many supports.
