Lots of you voted in the 2017 and 2018 Wood Coaster Poll - the 2019 poll is up and running with a brand new ballot format (no more clunky text-based ballots) AND there's a steel poll this year, too! You can get your ballots here: http://www.ellocoaster.com/the-ellocoaster-coaster-poll The poll uses ...

Yes, that's exactly what it is. Results for 2018 are up now:

AGONY!!!

SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW downloading. We must be overloading the servers, lol

According to one of the updates on the NL site,

Ole is in Germany... will it be released on German time, US time, GMT, what?
Also: will there be a new URL, or should I keep stalking... err, "CHECKING" the original Mad Data site?

OK, so my shiny new iMac is due to be delivered tomorrow. I'll have to figure out Boot Camp and install Windoze on it until the Mac native version comes out. I really, really, REALLY hate to do that, but for this I will do it. Naturally, I'm on vacation beginning Jan 10, so I'll have to wait a week ...

...and how about that "witness" who says she saw the bar release and the woman tumble... and right after that she says she was NEXT IN LINE (and therefore in the station) so there's no way she could've seen the woman fall. She also says the other bars went "click click click" but the victim's only w...

Got several rides on it this weekend at FiestaFest.

Originally posted by A.S.C. Originally posted by Kyle Sloane ^^I call bs on that.. it is steel wheels, and the track is mostly composed of wood. It looks like a wooden coaster anyways. if it were like normal wooden coasters it wouldnt have that much steel on the track, thus making many parts of the...

While I would love to imagine that the Mac version will be released alongside the Windoze version, I'm a realist and know that this probably won't happen. That said, I would probably go out and buy a PC to play NL2 if the two release dates are very far apart. Also, while I'm in the camp with a lot o...

I've gotta throw in another fail vote at the pairings. This should've been done WAY differently. Look at the brackets in the NCAA... the top seeds get paired in the early rounds with the lower seeds. That assures that *usually* the better teams end up in the finals, where there's excitement as the b...

I must admit, it's very encouraging to hear Ole say that smoothing a coaster by hand is long and tedious work in NL1 and that he's making it a much easier, faster process in NL2. I find that my spare time is very limited and my patience wears thin as well when trying to smooth out a ride. This is gr...

I had a Wii for awhile, but traded it in for a PS3.
Wii was lame. Why anyone would expect it to be a contender for a major gaming machine and not just a kid's novelty is beyond me.

Originally posted by Kev it's been a while since i've heard some good old man redneck truck driver jokes, so here goes. Image Insert: http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/file_attachments/kev/20071014122324_1.JPG 75.59 KB Well, the old man redneck truck driver is HOT. Nice pic.

Originally posted by Lewis13 I think he was just trying to get at why he wants an option to have his track rated/commented on. I think that would be a good idea for newbies that are learning No-Limits, along with those that build for fun. Exactly. Like I said earlier, I hardly ever post tracks here...

It's not just cjd specifically, it's not just this contest... it's the site in general. There would be a lot more tracks posted if it weren't for the rating mafia ready to pounce on every little "mistake". I wish there was an option to disallow ratings or comments when a track gets posted. Some of u...

Geezus Krist, can we all grow up a little here? Seriously, this site just isn't FUN any more. Wasn't that the point of NL and this site, anyway? To have FUN? I hardly ever upload any tracks here because I get tired of all the bashing that goes on. For the record, I don't have access to tools, nor do...

^ OK, I understand the need to list what song was used in the video... but sticking a political message at the end of a NL Coaster movie is pointless, tacky, and unwelcome. If you want to make a "drill for oil in America" video, then make one. Leave it out of the vids that have nothing to do with it...

I am SO disappointed at the new version of Tower of Terror. While I'm sure that this quicker ride time will make the line move faster (before it only ran one car every five minutes or so), it takes away most of what I loved about the ride: The boxy mine cars prevented you from seeing the track below...

All I have to say is THANK GOD I got out in the last round. Getting a high-capacity Eurofighter timed just right so the trains don't stop mid-course is something that I've not been able to do. With just 15 days to build, I'd have been banned for sure on this round. (whew) I'll probably try it for fu...

Originally posted by Canadmos So buy a newer one? [dunno] Sure... I'll just spend the money that was going to be for my summer coaster trips and spend it on a computer to replace the one I have, which is still perfectly good. Yeah, right. Originally posted by Canadmos Almost everyone has the choice...

Originally posted by Canadmos Also with Bootcamp, there should really be none of this "but I'm on a Mac and can't use elementary or any other tool" complaints. Let's wait until you know what you're talking about before you start typing, shall we? Boot camp only works for new Macs built with Intel c...

I guess this is just a difference in semantics, then. If something COMES WITH THE GAME, I think it should be fair to use it. The exact same set of elements are available to everyone. The tools, however, are NOT available to everyone and provide a very, VERY uneven playing field between those who hav...

Schlitterbahn New Braunfels is looking to make their ranking of "best waterpark on earth" pretty much a no-brainer.
