Wild Rider (NL)

[EuroTre]

One of the wildest rides in the history of the midwest was a very short lived monster that operated at Mequon Park near Milwaukee. The "Wild Rider" was a mess of twisted inter twining track that shook riders souls with massive airtime and strong laterals. It opened in 1952 and unfortunately lasted only 6 years until the Great Mequon Fire destroyed the entire park. Luckily, some pictures and even an onride video have been recovered so you people that don't own No Limits can go for a terrifying ride.

 

NOTE : This was a rough and bumpy ride and was built accordingly.

For those who don't have No Limits

Am overview of this truly scary ride.

One last shot of airtime.

A shaky example of one of the hibank.

This is where people could finally breathe easier.

Finally roaring into the brakes.

Intense final turn.

Look at that crazy mess of track were about to go over!

Another reverse-bank coming up.

Still more airtime.

One of the infamous reverse-bank turns.

More airtime.

Here comes another crazy turn.

Airtime and lots of it.

Let's go that way. Hang on tight!

One of many insane hibanks.

Right here? Prepare yourselves for hell.

Here is a train in the station. Nothing scary yet.

Awsome ride! Good layout and fast pacing. Reminds me alot of Kentucky Rumbler. However, I only watched the video, so I can't tell for sure, but that last turn looked like it has high G's.

 

Some original colors might've helped spruce it up isntead of the default white track and red trains...

 

 

And also, nothing about this coaster says "1952" to me... I don't think GCI existed back then and this coaster is very GCI-esque. I like that you tried to put a story behind it though, for a second there I was wondering if you were serious or is that just a fictional story for a NL ride.

 

Keep it up.

Thanks for putting a video up!

Two words for you.

 

"Continuous Roll"

 

The track jerked every time you passed by a node, since you didn't use continuous roll on the nodes. Use "con roll" on every node except them you want to be straight.

 

But overall a really good twisty track.

Great job, I think that was great!

Hope to see another one soon.
