Immaturity... Is it really necessary?

Nah, I'm sticking to the mainland too, well, completely I don't know about yours. I didn't think going out into the island was too GGish with the exception of Fireball...

Now how, in any way, does going onto an island decide whether the ride is GG style or not?

I never said it did, I wasn't referring to the island either.. They took fireball with a different layout and that's cool. I'm saying when I think Gravity Group, I like the compactness of boardwalk bullet over fireball's layout any day. But that's just me, and going out on the island doesn't decide anything. It's just my layout preference, took it the wrong way.

^ Sometimes it looks nice to extend the diagonal bar all the way up to the hand rail. Look at Jensenators "Haggard" for some nice ways to support turns and such. Its not very GGish, but they still look nice.

Take only science and math classes. Unless you're the most stiff assed person that ever walked the earth, it helps you get through the day.

What, I was just commenting on his ride!

EDIT:
I just made a shocking discovery!!!
The steel tunnels in NoLimits 1.7 aren't all the same sizes!
I tunneltested my track with the corkscrew coaster, and the B&M mega coaster. the corkscrew passed tunneltest easily, while the B&M mega had multiple intrusions...
Also, the Premier coaster is different from both of those two...

So, which one do you propose to use with a woody?

One where you don't have OTSR's and can actually each a distance.

clearly your not a regular member over here. This site is not for the serious kind of people, we are here to have fun and build coasters.


As for the tunnel-thing, the height will be check with the Swarzkopf (steel looper) tunnel, sideways will be done with the handrails.

Serious is the last phrase that describes me. I just think it's a bit childish to name your coaster "penis." It's a bad name anyways :P

Vid W: I wasn't referring to you. Also, why not just use wooden tunnels to test?

Nope, I didn't know the steel tunnels are different from each-other. I just knew that the wood tunnels were too big. And the steel tunnel testing is a great thing to hear, because I had one section where two tracks were stacked on top of one-another, and in the wood tunnels it is a big collision that would take hours of clever support work to fix, but in the steel tunnels it passes completely clean.

Now to think of it, it only makes sense that an Intamin (2-seat across) train's tunnel is smaller than a B&M (4-seat across). But I never really noticed, no.

Hmmm, I might not be able to finish my supports! Hopefully I'll be able to advance anyway.

Yeah, and you don't. You'd rather be the 20 year old virgin? [lol] Sucks.

Hyyyper, are you going to take supports into a lot of consideration? What am I asking is can a layout itself allow one to advance to the next round even if the supports are garb?
