Hey guys! So basically the story behind me making this ride is that my home park is Enchanted Kingdom (in the Philippines). It's a nice, small park but one of the things I think it's missing is a custom, mid-sized roller coaster. So I decided to try and create a coaster that would fit perfectly in the park, because why not.

It's a Vekoma Custom Designed family thrill coaster, with airtime, twistiness, headchoppers, handchoppers, and an inversion. The ride shouldn't be too intimidating, and it's of decent length too. Inspired by Muntanya Russa (Tibidabo), as well as Balder (and T Express too, sort of).

Weird to see you posting here.
That looks like something that would appeal to a wide demographic.
I think you may have inspired me to try to embark on my own self-imposed challenge of cramming in a decent sized coaster somewhere in a template representing my home park.

Hey, a normal sized roller coaster in Nolimits 2 :D

I love the colors, the gold and yellow fit perfectly together!

It looks great so far. I could tell you were trying to make a homegrown ride before I even read the description. Reinds of that yellow Soquet traveling coaster "if it didn't suck".

Can I test it? You can test my 25 coasters park in return.

I can see Space Shuttle Max, too! It's a Vekoma Boomerang! :D I guess a few looping coasters are found in your country: this one, Zyklon Loop and Star Flyer at Star City in Manila.

I've always wished that Vekoma builds more coasters in the style of Tibidabo's Muntanya Russa and I have to say that this seems like a very feasible and realistic take on the type of coaster. It could easily be the star attraction of a small to mid size park, similar to Zierer's Force One models.

I also love the look of the S curves. :)

Yes that is right, although Zyklon Loop is defunct now AFAIK. Not counting the 2009 Space Shuttle refurb, the entire country hasn't gotten a major new roller coaster since 2007, and that was a Pinfari suspended :lol:
