Compact coasters................

I have noticed that with the exception of some woodies it is hard to find new and compact coasters. It seems as of most want to make them higher, or faster, or longer instead of making some great and insane tight rides.
Personally I am tired of Hypers because after the drop and first turn they are usually so smooth and uneventful they get boring. I would like to ask some of you to try and build some intense, tight, weaving in and out of itself style coasters. I am in the process of creating 7 of them at this time but will be a while before I am finished.
The added features of No Limits makes it an awesome simulator but I would like to ask you again instead of worrying about making the perfect 3DS models, the perfect terrain, or the perfect skybox try to create a truly original ride. Truly original is what seems to be missing in our plethora of creations.

that's my object all the time [:D] but I do have one big hyper almost done which will be more than "smooth and uneventful " you'll want more [;)] but I also have something semi-compact that I can't find the best way to end it which is descently well [:)]

cool, another WWS ride, haven't seen one of those uploaded since a long time ago. I've been working on several compact coasters, except that they all suck, so I'm still working on one.

I agree Foreseer, the really tall, fast and spread out coasters just bore me...I am in the process of making a compact twister inspired by Twister @ Knoebels/Mr. Twister that really slams you around with laterals and airtime and has all custom lateral bracing [8D]

Huge/tall coasters ROCK!!!!!!!! Hypers are simply awesome! i dont realy like small coasters, but thats just me... can you imagin a 4-D 300ft Hyper! that would be so cool!!

Well, the thing is that people just keep building tall coasters, they just get boring so quickly and are unoriginal. Smaller, compact coasters take more skill to make and are more intense.

I'll take a well-designed compact ride any day over a another pointless hyper. it takes more skill to build a compact ride (like one I'm working on) than a boring monster of a coaster. that's what makes woodies so much more fun to ride!!! it's about the appriciation

But if u ceate an compact ride it's mostly much slower than bigger coasters, so I usually build bigger coasters. But what about this? http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_exchang ... p?tid=3944 This coaster is kinda compact. Unfortunately it wasn't a good ride. But if more people like it, maybe I'll make some more of those[:D]

compact rides arn't usually fast, but it can give you a fast feeling by headchoppers on wooden coasters or close calls from the supports. If you can combine those things, the coaster will be even more intense then a very spread out coaster. Such a coaster like that is maybe very fast, but it doesn't really have close calls with the track or supports... that doesn't give awesome feeling. It could be maybe because the speed, but speed will slow down...

just my 2 cents

One of the secrets to a good compact ride is to continuously shrink the size of the elements ant turns as the track goes along. That way you keep all the G's and the speed sensation.

i agree, hardly any rides are origional anymore.. i try to do origional stuff, but there's not much more to do that could be considered "origional" i also agree that hypercoasters are getting old, we need more twisting rides!! i have a few that i've uploaded but they're not very good.

I've got something twisted for ya, I just need to finish it [:)]

What !!! Making a coaster w/o 3DS, textures, or terraforming!! Un heard of!! Seriously people forgot the whole nature of nolimits...........COASTER BUILDING. I read a rate some where where the rate was low because the person had none of the fore mention. When making my coasters i never use 3DS and i rarely use terraforming. And out of the 11 coasters i have uploaded here all except 3 are under 100 ft.........I think anyone can build a super mega hyper giga coaster but not too many people are able to make an awsome coaster under 100 ft. Trust me, i have proof lol lol.........
