A.J. Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 [censored]! What is everyone's obsession with Wing Coasters all of a sudden? Someone be original, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 ^I imagine when the Accelerators got big there were plenty of them popping up in the game. And when The Voyage was built, both NL and RCT saw a big jump in giant terrain Gravity Group hybrids. And I'm sure there's a dozen other examples of that sort of trend. People are building wingriders because that's what the fad is in the real world right now, and it's great when you can nail down a design that emulates the qualities of these brand new rides just right.

braztaz Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Plus, building a wingrider can be one of the most original and creative things we could do right now, since the concept is new and the possibilities for the layout are basically endless. I definitely wouldn't go out and say building a wingrider is unoriginal, especially considering the great queue interaction that coasterfreak's design has!

Â AJ: Spot on. I played with my wingrider, grew tired with it, and have returned to making things in the glory of His name, amen. Â Braz and CF101; Not really- Without hacks/mods/cheats/trainers, you couldn't really build those rides- and considering RCT II was -new- the year TTD was announced, it wasn't even really played with- as the game was still new when TTD opened. Sure, it's a new and original idea, but let's face it: It's starting to spread around like the end-all, be-all ride. Did anyone forget about some of the other new innovations now springing up? Intamin Edgerider trains? The elongated Hypercoaster Trains for B&M? Newgen Spinners? It seems that there's a lot of hype over one ride type- and others are seemingly forgotten in the dust. Â As I watch over the thread the past few pages, it's been wingrider, wingrider, wingrider, woodie, wingrider, wingrider.... YAWN, folks, YAWN.

coasterfreak101 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Okay, whatever. If I want to build a wingrider, or someone else does, we're going to do it. So how about we stop critiquing the decision and start critiquing the work? Isn't that the point of this thread? We're supposed to talk about screens, not complain about how people build the same thing because apparently the Gods say they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbrcace1234 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 So much hate here! To be honest, while there is an influx in one design, does it really matter? I'm seeing more productivity, let a lone better quality so far with this coaster type. Â Build what makes you happy folks. That's all I can say in this situation.

Â As I watch over the thread the past few pages, it's been wingrider, wingrider, wingrider, woodie, wingrider, wingrider.... YAWN, folks, YAWN. Â Well the elongated Hypercoaster trains have the same layout as the usual B&M Hypers, so design-wise I don't see how those would be much different. If someone wanted to make the Edgerider trains, chances are they'd use the same trains as we have been using for the B&M Wingriders, and they'd be restricted by the Giga box track, which doesn't have inversions or 90 degree drops programmed within the game. And to make any of these, we'd need hacks/mods/cheats/trainers. Â Derek's "Alkonost" is a completely new and unique way to interpret the Wingriders, and is much different in execution and style than mine or coasterfreak's. Most of these Wingrider's I've seen have brought a new idea to the way Wingriders can be built, along with new elements as well. Â I'd like to see what other ideas people have for these types of coasters, as they're just getting started in real life, as in RCT2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT2day Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think I'll add to the debate on ideas... Â Simply put, whats popular is popular. If you do not like it, you don't have to. The wingrider is the newest concept and innovation to the rollercoaster world and, with the huge rise in its polularity to parks around the globe, it is only natural that people want to design their own version. Saying, "I'm sick of seeing the same wingrider, wingrider, wingrider" is kind of narrow minded. For example, when the bow and arrow was invented and man had the resources to use it, did people rush to use and innovate it or did people say, "Everyone uses this so I'm going to stick with throwing rocks". The wingrider is simply another way of experience the thrill that is a rollercoaster. Just like inverts, stand-ups, floorless, reverse-seaters, shuttles, LIM launches, etc. Â Just my opinion on the matter, you do not have to accept it. Can we get back to pictures and not debating this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put hours of work into this project and I'd much appreciate you not telling me my decision is too boring for you, because it's what I had the inspiration to build. And a type of roller coaster is not unoriginal - if anything, you want me to build a B&M hyper, arguably one of the most unoriginal designs out there? Yawn.
