Maelstrom will give a lot of pretty good views of Whirlwind! =)

Thanks for the great comments! Also, yes, the views are quite spectacular.

After a break from NoLimits 2, and a trip to Liseberg to ride Helix (amazing btw), I'm glad to be working on this project again and at a faster rate. The video below shows some new features, scenery and overviews of the first area of this park; as well as showcasing the amazing flat rides that MGRides has created so many thanks to him. The area has 4 rides and has a theme that depicts that almighty power of nature. I currently do not have a name for the area so feel free to leave suggestions. There's still some way to go before this can be released but I'm very much looking forward to seeing many other areas combine to make this massive park.

As a quick note, I am going to be adding some of my own 3DS models around the area as well as some more objects made with supports. Also, I have decided that I am going to use some models from the 3D Warehouse for Trimble SketchUp (with credit given to the creators obviously, even though the license for reuse is attribution free) simply because I feel that if I rely solely on creating my own models I will lose motivation for the project and it will simply take too long and will not be completely. I hope this decision does not down rate the park too much but I'm sure people can understand why. I'd rather have this be released to a high standard with models that may not all be mine, than for it to constantly get delayed. Besides, I'm focusing mainly on the detail and level of realism that the rides and layouts have.




Thanks for checking out this project.

Ride looks really sick - loads of flow and I love the airtime hill that then goes under the pathway!

Great job so far, very convincing Infinity trains and track work, especially the lift. I would hope that you remove the floorless station bars, though, lol. The sacrifice of the opening queue gates would be worth it IMO. The track work was good too, I was most interested in the way you increased the positive G's as you enter the base of each element, rather than the whole down-to-up transition.

Wow, really great detail in this! Thanks for sharing your progress!!

Went ahead and embedded that youtube link for you This looks really awesome!

[TTD03]

Looks fantastic!

Spinner looks cute lol. Layout looks decently realistic. Nice job so far.

Thanks! I tried very hard to create a nice flow with the layout so am glad that it seems that way.

Thanks! I am considering the whole floorless station bar situation so will try it and see. Also yes, I wanted to differ from the norm of down-to-up while still being safe.

Thanks to all of you for the support. It really helps motivate me to keep the project going.

WHIRLWIND BETA RELEASE

As I'm nearing completion on my Whirlwind coaster I wanted to offer a beta download for the ride. Please bear in mind that the surrounding rides are not finished and there are also a few minor details still to add to Whirlwind. However, I wanted to get feedback so far so please download and leave feedback to make this area even better. Many Thanks!

Oh no powered coasters are infiltrating NL lol

@JAMMYD778 I'm not sure if you've already answered this question but, Im curious as to how you got the friction brake at the base of the lift next to the actual chain?

Everything looks AMAZING btw!!!

Powered Coaster idea is pretty good!

[TTD03]

NU! hate powered coasters
Still cool though!

[mkingy]

Variety is the spice of life people

[TTD03]

^ Eww inspirational quote

[JAMMY]

@Turbo: Lol

@Coasterkidmwm: All we need now is the mack train!

@DechLave: (whispers) Two tracks

@lol240: Thanks! The next area will be a more family orientated area.

@TTD03: Lol! Every parks gotta have one.

@mkingy: Indeed it is.

[TTD03]

No they don't all have to have one! Dorney had one but they got rid of it, because they didn't need it, because Dorney is better than that

[JAMMY]

(Psychologist activate) I'm sensing some tension between yourself and powered coasters? Did you have a bad experience with them as a child?

[TTD03]

^ nope
Actually loved the dragon coaster at dorney, was sad it was removed

[JAMMY]

Hey everyone, so as mentioned, the powered coaster and that area is on hold while I jump on the bandwagon with a wing coaster. However, I've had this idea for this specific theme and layout of a wing coaster for about two years now so really wanted to get it implemented. All I can reveal so far is that you have been chosen as one of the lucky few, to test and experience JTech Developments latest device, codename... PERIPHERY! The ride will feature a few world first elements, made possible because of the wing coaster design and hopefully some imaginative scenery.

Here's a teaser image and a video showing off some early train lighting tests.





Until next time.
