Well to be honest your Twister2 recreation needs a lot of work... There are a lot of places where it just seems to try and recreate some of the directions the ride moves instead of the actual look of the ride. I would say first and foremost try to get the look of the ride right then try to get everything accurate.

 

My suggestion would be to work on the areas from the lift hill to the first turnaround. Keep in mind that the tunnel is right under the turnaround and look at pictures to get the profile of the Helix right.

 

Just so you know recreations in RCT are just incredibly frustrating. They are very very hard because of the limited amount of pieces. I'll post my SLC clone later and you can see kinda how I took that one and tried to get it together. I've been trying to get a decent Volare too but the problem is the corners just aren't tight enough so I'm trying to find a different approach to the ride.

Ok I spent a little bit of time trying to refine my ideas for a Volare (Flying Coaster) model... I think I have it pretty much as close as it can be as far as the feel with the pieces that RCT3 gives you. Lots of pieces are far too large especially the spiral lift so I had to cut a few corners on the model but I'll post it from my PC in just a few minutes... I think it turned out quite nicely.

 

I also took a short stab at getting a decent Twister 2 model as I have tried it many times before... Parts of it I am happy with but overall it is so freaking hard to get right because of the Helix... If it wasn't for the Helix it would be ok...

Well I snuk on last today and did a complete face life of the Mind Eraser plaza, and completely redid everything.

 

Good- Themeing, XLR8R, scenery, rides.

 

Bad- I have absolutly no more room to finish the park.

I'm sorry but this coaster is not even close to the real thing. Twister2 is almost there.

Yeah but you have to play a huge amount of tradeoffs between the size of the model, the accuracy, and the style. I choose to try to get the size and try to portray the style as accurately as I could in the amount of size.

 

You can't get the ride even close to what it really is as the thing is double the height of the real ride in no time. So I took some time and tried to put the basic ride elements into as small a space as I could trying to preserve as much of the ride as possible while doing so. Mine has an absolutely tiny footprint in comparison to Twisters. That is what my aim was.

 

I mean no disrespect but his is probably the same size as his SLC model. That wasn't my goal. I wanted to make something that approximated its footprint as well as the ride. Recreating rides is always a tradeoff like that.

No need to argue.

 

Anyways, I got a little done today, and I think what is going to end up happening is putting the entrance where the ferris wheel is

 

That also means, no main street, and chances are there wont be a Looney Toons Land (which is F'ing hard to make BTW)

 

Ill get some pic's up tomorrow or tonight.

Yea but yours does not even have the brakes in the right spots
What? Do you really want me to put in every block brake and everything that is in the real ride? I told you that it isn't accurate but I was trying to keep the size down. Oh and the final brakes are in the right place... I just don't usually see a real reason to put in block brakes when you have a large station anyway. This is especially true in RCT3 where rides don't crash when they run into each other.
