Hey guys! For my very first attempt at a coaster in NoLimits 2, I'm going to be working on a GCI Woodie. Curretly have the lift hill and have some shaping done with the first drop. The transition to NL2 from one has been a bit rocky since I had to learn how the system works, but I seem to have a general idea of how it works. Right now I'm looking for any tips and advice you can give so I can learn how to make better rides. I'm hand building the track and supports. As for scenery and scripting I will forgo that until I've learned how to properly shape the track into the elements I want.

Doing a double down and banked turn before the lift hill. Going to do terrain editing after I finish track shaping. Station looks a bit high because of this.

Here's a shot of the first drop and lift hill. Probably going to make it cross over or underneath the lift hill and give it a partial out and back layout but mostly twister elements with moments of airtime.

Please share you're thoughts! You're insight will be much appreciated! :)

Banking looks a bit high on that prelift turnaround - remember laterals are super important on a woodie!

Drop looks reasonable though - it should probably be a bit steeper if you were going for a Troy @ Toverland style drop.

I'm doing the shaping first and banking later, it'll have some decent lats. :) Also the double down out of the station has a slight S curve going on.

Make the crest of the lift bigger. GCI isn't exactly known for ejector in the backseat. If you're going to twiddle with banking later the rest looks fine.

Here's an update! Got a good amount of work done. Finished the drop and added a few elements. I added a double down after the drop that goes over the lift hill and then goes into a high bank turn into an airtime hill.

I rounded the crest of the lift hill.

Here's the double down. Clearance looks good but I'll have to test it to see if it clears.

The banked turn. The banking is taking system is taking some getting used to.

Here's the airtime hill. I know GCI doesn't do these often but I felt it would be sort of appropriate for the layout I'm going for.

I also added a transfer track and final brake run.

After practicing my No Limits skills I decided to make a whole park out of this. First addition is a WIP Mack Multi-Launch that I'm sort of winging it at the moment. My track work is still iffy and it can be frustrating at times but I feel like I'm improving enough to start releasing projects.

Not sure on the pictures, I couldn't get good ones.
