I just sneezed and got chocolate all over my arm.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Hate to be the troll, but this should be in the introduction section.

Anyway, Both coasters are good, but Wheels on a woodie = nono
and the inverted is a tad bit under-supported. You're okay though, better than I am XD

. Flare was a prototype and drive wheels on woodies are very very common

Really? I personally have never seen drive wheels. Or LIM's.

There are some on prefabs I think... Also some GCIs have them.

Turns are quite pumpy though most trackwork is fair. Supporting is very lacking for both rides especially for Flare.

All in all, not bad for a start on NL.

I will admit LIM on a woodie is /unatural/ but drive wheels are common... at least in the US.

Also
I am terrible at turn/banking. Can some body help me with that?

heartlining. Look at pictures of real life coasters and you will see that the coaster track rotates around a specific point where the average persons hert is. This is so the lateral Gs are minimal. In the NL editor, make sure the heartline is turned on it the 'display' category.

Yes I know your not stupid. No need to be a dick.

Lets say you want to make a 180* curve with a 60* bank. First, Add a node and bank it at 60*. Make the node slightly curved at a bout maybe 20*-30* depending on how large the curve is. Now, make sure the heartline for the first bit, stays straight with the heartline from the peice above. The, however, the heartline will of coarse change due to the banking. position the node so that the heartline has a good curved shape and is not wierd shaped. Also, the heartline must stay straight at the first bit with the track still turning. If this does not make sense, there is tutorials on youtube.

Only in NL editor terminology. In reality, both do the same thing; point, node, vertex, whatever.
