DiSab Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 So I finally broke down and bought NoLimits last night. I'm still trying to figure everything out with it and tweaking what I've got, but it's coming along nicely. This is really the first time I've used the program, outside of a little messing around with the demo last year. The layout is pretty much done, I just need to work on smoothing out everything and getting rid of a few red spikes. It's a Eurofighter called Fireball, inspired by Fluch in that it starts with a LIM launch and the Eurofigther lift-drop follows the MCBR.

themeparkman25 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 For "just caving in and buying it last night" that is a pretty sweet looking first coaster, I know my first one looked nothing like that. You should post a download somewhere, the ride looks fun! Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 For anyone who's interested, I'm just finished up tweaking the supports on Fireball. Keep an eye out for a download here (hopefully) later on tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelegendarymatthew Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Looks a bit short at the end, but overall it looks like a great coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMartz37 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Here's a B&M floorless that started off as my first Elementary track. After completely failing at the tool I decided to hand make it. It's also the first coaster I'll be uploading with all custom supports along with a custom station that was NOT made using catwalks. I call it Fireball, but wouldn't mind a better name. Any suggestions? First half of the ride Second half of the ride (Notice the queue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I like the looks of that inversion coming off the MCBR. What exactly is it? Kinda looks like a funky corkscrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMartz37 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I like the looks of that inversion coming off the MCBR. What exactly is it? Kinda looks like a funky corkscrew. It's like a dive loop, but less B&M and more Vekoma. See? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Very nice. It was hard to tell exactly what it was from the angle in the first pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMartz37 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Very nice. It was hard to tell exactly what it was from the angle in the first pic. I think the pic got a lil warped. This, though, IS a funky corkscrew from a coaster that's been on hold for a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Not necessarily a preview, but I am currently working on a park with someone else on tpr, so in other words we are working on a group park. As of now it will be called Happy Valey California, but the name may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 ^ In RCT2? I Think it's time to update you guys on my latest NL ride that I have been working on since late November. This ride was a resurrection of my first attempt to make a eurofighter and it just happen to turn out really well! I present you .... Innovation!

Xpress Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 ^Oooh, a 90* banked zero-g-hill. Sooooooo original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 ^ Hey I've never seen it before! But at least the rest of the ride has a bit of originality. Edit: Or was that sarcasm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMartz37 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 ^ Super cool looking supports in the first pic. It seems as though it could be a little less than sturdy but muchos kudos bro. Be sure to upload the track when you're done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 ^Oooh, a 90* banked zero-g-hill. Sooooooo original What is not original about it? I've seen a lot of comments about the lack of originality on people's coasters, lately. So please tell me...what would YOU find original? (And this is directed towards everyone, not just Xpress.) There are only so many ways you can bend a piece of track to create an element...and most of those elements, unfortunately, have already been seen.

dr.gumbo Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 ^Oooh, a 90* banked zero-g-hill. Sooooooo original Do you take pride in acting like an a$$hole. lol I've seen a lot of comments about the lack of originality on people's coasters, lately. So please tell me...what would YOU find original? (And this is directed towards everyone, not just Xpress.) It's quite difficult to define what is original and what isn't. I tend to base my judgement on originality on how you adapt a certain track style. On the recent B&M Hyper contest, I decided that Jarmor's ride was more original because he took B&M's style and make it his own rather than simple replicating it. Of coarse, you can go overboard and simply produce something completely untrue to the B&M style, and people would would criticise as such. You could alternatively create your own style, which if done right would be fantastic. But then you have to get a happy medium between original shaping and such and downright bad shaping, which at time's can be quite difficult to achieve. Either way, it depends what you consider original, as I said above. I considered that element on the page before very original but obviously Xpress didn't for whatever reason.

Goliath513 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 ^^^ Not a fan of the 90 degree corners on the river. Make them diagonal to look more realistic. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to seeing where you're going with this park! Here's one from Six Flags Wyoming. Not much, but hey, it's the thread for random crap like this. I will have an update on this once I finish the ride and the surrounding area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMartz37 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Finally completed my track FIREBALL. Here are some pics. I'll upload the track if any one wants it. BTW, this is my first all out coaster. All custom supports and all track work was hand made so there will be imperfections. EDIT: I uploaded the pics in reverse order >.< Sitting inside the station Down the first drop Coasting through the MCBR Most of the queue Full layout and queue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
