    Biggest Failure

    Um... have you got a source for those numbers which I'm guessing you just farted out?

    Rides that have aged/changed drastically

    I'll agree with Colossus, but I think that Saw has become much more rough in a much shorter space of time! I would say Velocity, Kumali, and Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingoland have deteriorated extremely quickly.

    The Perfect Traveling Coaster?

    I'd like to see B&M do a travelling version of their Batman rides. Like a modern version of the Intamin Euro Star.

    CHUNDERSTORM - Travelling Vekoma shuttle

    After hours and hours and hours of nerding up on travelling coasters, I'm developing somewhat of a thing for them. The result, CHUNDERSTORM; the super-sized travelling Vekoma boomerang! Boasting two 180ft towers, a 90ft cobra roll and a 90ft loop, this beast is designed to be relocated from...

    Rides that show potential to be insane but fall short?

    I used to give people a hard time who said it was rough, but the bottom of the main drop has become horrendous and you really have to brace for it! I think that one dodgy bit of track is duffing up the wheel clusters on the cars, because the rest of the ride is rough in a similar way moreso than...

    Rides that show potential to be insane but fall short?

    I would have absolutely loved Saw if it wasn't so ridiculously painful. I found it a million times worse then even The Ultimate! A slightly more obscure one, but The Bullet at Flamingoland was massively neutered when it was overhauled before opening there. It used to have a much more powerful...

    Dar's Attempts!

    A really solid first go, I've seen much worse from people who've had the software for months! The transition out of the turnaround is a little sharp, producing some yellow lateral Gs, but manoveurs involving swift banking changes are one of the more complex things to master when hand-building so...

    Funky Hipster - Mega coaster with loop

    They sure can, that's what the Deceleration value is for on the lift settings.

    Well, I never knew that!

    That looks just a tad claustrophobic :\

    NoLimits Competition #4 Poll

    I was actually surprise at the amount of folk on here who prefer hand building!

    NoLimits Competition #4 Poll

    I suggest you see a therapist! (Joking) I'm not bothered if tools are allowed, you can make the smoothest and most perfect track ever conceived but if the layout and supports (or other important details) are rubbish, a Newton'd or AHG'd track won't really make a difference.

    Slowest Moving Line you have been in

    Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingoland. Maybe 100-150 people in the queue, waited 90 mins. I would moan a bit more but I'm afraid that's pretty typical!

    F-15 - Travelling Schwarzkopf Shuttle

    It's set to 1G (or something like) all the way down, I think it just seems faster towards the end because you're thrown into a tight turn as opposed to having a little bit of straight track to allow the acceleration to finish doing it's thing.

    F-15 - Travelling Schwarzkopf Shuttle

    Gaahhh that'll be how I worked it out then, disregard that figure as it's horribly inaccurate :lol:

    F-15 - Travelling Schwarzkopf Shuttle

    The launch is soft because: - Flywheel-powered drive tyres only have a certain amount of torque when launching at speed; - Launching into a 3g turn would be a little bit more intense than I wanted and overshadow the immense forces in the loop. And I forget how I came up with 2200 hours per...

    Question

    Sounds interesting, I'd love to have a go at building a station and stuff for a track that some randomer sent to me! I think that the focus should just be on the extra bits rather than the track itself, alot of people would lose the will to live if they had to both, there's always loads of comp...

    Why so? They're like a slightly less brain-damaged Vekoma!

    NoLimits Competition #3 - Bowling for Sexy

    There is a marginal chance I may enter this. Don't hold out any hope though, I have Nolimits ADHD :P

    WB Movie World Australia |"Green Lantern"| S&S El Loco

    Re: Green Lantern Coaster - WB Movie World Australia Having ridden Flamingoland's El Loco, I can tell you that it's actually really comfy! It's one of the least shaky bits of the ride, which says alot considering how crap it's looked after :P
