So cool.... There's something so eerie about abandoned coasters and I think it would make a great theme for a NL ride.

the fog only makes it look more awesome... For the rest it's a normal ride.

Here is my version.

Trees coming soon?

Yes and bamboo also.

you gotta give it a real rusty destroyed look. I like the look of abandoned coasters. its eerie...

I can't without a track texture.

thats true...
all hopes for nl2

if you use very short track segments, or divide it into them, you could put a rust color on some of the track.

Maybe someone can make me an environment for a rusty track texture with light misty fog?

Works only with the wooden supports anyway...

Foliage started.

Make some supports like hanging off of the main support structure and some of them bent(use two support bars for that). It'll give it more of a broken effect too.

You could make your supports and maybe even (overlapping) trackwork with 3d object, but I cant do this and I think it's really hard to do and takes long time

Hey i donno if ur good with 3d objects cool5, but i guess i can make some (ie the station), cuz im well bored

x

That would me great. You want the track? I cannot make 3ds objects.

yeah sounds good
