Hi everyone,

This is a ride i made for a contest round on themepark.nl, We had to go for a realistic looking B&M Floorless or an intamin hyper. I went for the floorless and i think it looks realistic to me.

Here are a few screenshots for you people:

The lift hill in earlier stages, Realistic enough? [:D]

Image
The ride is fully supported, and I was busy with a queueline.[:)]

Image
Top of the lift, trees are planted. [:)]

Image
Ride overview, Current status [:)]

Stats:
Highest point: 30m (98.4ft)
Max speed: 82km/u (50.9mph)
trains: 3
Cars per train: 7

Give your opinion about it.[:)]

For the people who want to ride it. It's going to be uploaded tommorrow.[:D][peakhill]

At some final testround before opening the coaster tommorow we left a few exclusive people walking around the track and area. One person had a camera and shot some nice pictures from the final tests.

enjoy the screens:

Image
The exit is finished, entrance also fully done.

Image
A really nice shot from the train dropping of the first drop that is 27,5m high.

Image
The train rolling through the zero g roll.

Image
The train in the cobra roll.

Image
Flying right over your head upside down in the interlocking corkscrews.

Image
And as final shot from the lucky people, the train flying into the final brakes again.

Also we rented a helicopter to make a final shot of the area of how it currently looks now. Here is the shot:

I hope to see you tommorrow at the grand opening of X-factor!

Looks pretty awesome dirk. I like the layout. The shaping in the Cobra Roll looks a little off though.

^ Yeah, that's wat I was thinking. Either it's taken at really low speed or that's gonna have a pretty big G spike. The interlocking corks look very well done, though.

Because of some reason i'd always stop with a track that uses 3ds. It's just too much work and it would cost eventually more fps then when i'm using some NL stuff [:)]

^you must not be doing something wrong. it would take up less fps while making a 3ds queue, while doing it in the editor with supports.

Does anybody know where theres a tutorial for the object creator or something? I kind of figured out how to use it, but i really suck at it and only understand like a quarter of it.

lol, because you don't have nolimits I wonder why you choose the nickname: nolimits131 then [lol] If you want to get nolimits, buy it. it's only $29.95.
www.nolimitscoaster.com
If you are not sure about buying it, try the demo [;)]
