Looks really nice, great job!

 

As for the element.....i have no idea although it has to have something to do with straightening out before suddenly diving down again. Something like Whiplash, etc.

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

Awesome! As for the dive element that needs a name since your name on NLDC is Blackhand101 how about the "Blackhand Dive"?

[coastervekoma]

Looks great!

I seem to be handy when it comes to naming coaster projects. I like the dark colors... how about "Paradox" with some sci-fi 3Ds. I really like this layout BTW, everything I would like in a B&M.

[firstbase11897]

Nice...

 

The layout reminds me of a mix between that of Dominator and Mantis.

[kennywood!007]

Truely one of the best B&M's I ever saw done on NL. It looks like its crazy smooth!

[Calaway Park]

For a name, how about "Flutter?"

Fantastic layout.

[b&mforever]

I am probably going to do 3ds but i have never done them before. Any one have hints.

[alex999]

It looks awesome! As for the element, how about non-inverted dive?

[RJD]

That is the number one coaster I will see on NL. Great job man.

[b&mforever]

The track has been repainted and the trains have been textured to fit the color scheme. The ride has been named paradox as suggested.

I have greatly modified the ride. It now has five inversions and a different first drop. The new inversion is a jojo roll similar to hydras except improved.

I've heard that name before! Can't put my finger on it though. Shrillik *cough* Studios. Just kidding. To bad I don't have NL. Cool coaster though. Wish I had NL. Good Job.

It has been released and is available for download

Here are the final stats:

 

Paradox is a b&m twister made in 1995. It was originally built with 4 inversions but for its 2003 season the original drop was removed and the height was increased and a fifth inversion was added, the never before seen Jo-Jo roll as well as a taller and steeper drop. Modifications were made to the dive loop in the 2004 season as it caused a plague of problems with the wheel assemblies and was the roughest part of the ride due to its haphazardly quick transitions and the increased speed of the 2003 modification. It also received a magnetic brake system that year. The ride now runs smoothly and only closes for the occasional problems every coaster has.

 

Opened=1995

[Calaway Park]

I'm sorry to say, but I'm disapointed. Good layout, but it was extremely pumpy and the transitions didn't flow. It was alright, but pumpsville. Try to recreate it with tools because the layout is amazing.

[Satoshi]

^ i don't think it's kind of messed up ride like the track is bit bumpy.

 

it's really twisted but 100% i guess it's amazing!

[redunzelizer]

So basically you have taken someone elses work, added some stuff and now you're selling that one entirely as your own. While this is perfectly legal with any track taken from the NLDC-Scrapyard, you still missed a lot (and messed a lot too).

 

- you did not give credit to "TheArchaitect" who actually created the initial track. (at least I have seen you nowhere doing so). See "B&M Twister by TheArchaitect" here:

http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/devcenter.cgi?action=scrapyard&page=17

 

- you did not care much about the most of original track except maybe autosmoothing it a bit. This is no effort at all, since it only requires to mark a few segments, and pressing CTRL-G

 

- with your aditions, you added even more jerks on the connections between "old" and "new" parts. All these additions are executed lazily and careless in respect to the original.

 

You've mostly shown lazyness, therfor it's quite a Bummer!

[b&mforever]

I Did not just use auto smoother as you will notice that the banking has changed to, the position of the nodes which auto smoother does not modify and that some of the elements have been completely rebuilt.

No offence, but I've downloaded the original, and you haven't changed much at all. A lot of it seems CTRL-G, you never did much work.

 

You never gave credit, and that's beyond rude. Nobody's going to downrate because of it.

 

You never changed almost anything, you auto smoothed the cobra and added a Jo-Jo roll. You never did anything else, CTRL G doesn't make the ride yours.
