Landon and I are pretty good friends and I take a look at a good amount of his rides. What the hell is so unrealistic about them? I think they're fun as hell. They may be a tiny bit far fetched, but still, they're creative. They're unique also. When are you going to see another element like the first element on Aquatico? Show me please because I haven't seen one like that. I'm not saying I'm Landon's slave (shut up Landon), but I have to say, W.T.F. Gerst? It's realistic by all standards, and it's creative. Re-itterating what Jensen said, he could have made a top hat if he wanted to. It's not the fact he couldn't, it's the fact that he was doing something new and innovative. We have some real jackasses on this site (not gonna name them, but you know who you are) who just down the living hell out of people. I try to be nice to people whenever I can because, generally, I'm a nice guy, but when I see these posts from stupid people being complete assholes, it just strikes me as, "You have no social life, you sit on CC all day trying to act like a man because nobody really knows your true identity." It's gonna be hard to get this through peoples heads and it might never happen. Like Jensen said, say what you would like about me. I don't give a rats ass because I know I'm better than some of you idiots."
Fixed. Now that this is a bit more readable:

Well in the Aquatico example you cited, the supports, shaping, and G's, so pretty much the whole thing.

http://www.rcdb.com/ig557.htm?picture=4You must not be familiar with the Incredible Hulk. Same thing but his turns more, is a tad steeper, and is on an inverted coaster. Also his twists around more than it needs to because screwing around with people's necks is fun right?

No it had bad shaping, G's, and supports, which is pretty much the whole ride being thrown into the "unrealistic" category.

He did make a tophat. He just made a stupid entrance.

Making a turn is innovative?

Lots of people know me pretty well, they just happen to not be stupid.
