So it's acceptable to take two months or more to build a ride? Hmm, I guess it's necessary for No Limits and Scream Machines. My Ultimate Ride coasters take me at the most about two weeks to build and tweak. But then again there's no comparing Ultimate Ride to No Limits, lmao. Hey, I better get busy on a NL ride! [;)]

Cool. I like it here, there's no pressure to crank out rides for approval or for trophies. You guys seem to be way more interested in the quality of the coaster, which is a great thing. I've got some big shoes to fill. [:)]

Well, it depends. I spent several months working off and on for my first coaster Sequoia. I scrapped it and started from scratch several times, but I was also learning the editor as I went along. Finally, I was able to complete it. Probably spent a total of about 12-15 hours on the final design.
My second coaster (Outback) was completed in one 2-3 hour session and I think it shows. It is somewhat generic and has some tech problems, mainly in the shaping of hills. I built it the day after I finished Sequoia and was mainly fueled by the adrenaline rush of having finally completed my first track.
I just uploaded my third coaster (Copperhead) and I built it much like the first one, working a little at a time over a period of about 3-4 weeks. On this one, I took advice given to me by other members and tried to take my time and make it right. I still need help with my supportwork however [xx(].

For me I spend about a week or more on the track its self then smoothing takes a day or two then supports ( ughhhh) take a few days so I say about 2 to 3 weeks. Like my newest coaster, I finished the track and smoothing but I don't realy want to do the supports right now, so it could be a little while and pluse school starts on the 2nd ( but we will probably have a strike YES!) so I wont be on the computer that much or intell my home works done. But this year will be fun, im taking c++, german 1, p.e, core 1, and the other catagories like science and stuff, but it just sais home room for those.

Usually, it takes me about 25 hours of work for a steel coaster, and 15 hours for a wood coaster. But before Tia's wood support tool came out, it took me over 60 hours to make a "wood" coaster that looked real. That was a very painful process...

Well, I guess it all depends on how big it is and how lazy I am. [:D]

Usually I spend anywhere from 1-3 months an a ride depending on how detailed I wana get. [8D]
