^ It's part that fast, part the video.
The laptop I recorded it on is a bit weird so the trains look funky, and now after the 20th time watching this video, makes the loop sped up a bit.

As TTD03 stated it does go through the loop a bit fast and its partially the video. It is an easy fix to slow the train down a bit if needed.

Not to be an ass but why bother making wingrider trains if the NL team said they're going to make them?

Well The CodeMaster joined our team so we are just using his for now. When the NL2 Team releases the model we may switch over. We are also talking about theming the trains to fit the theme of the coaster.

We are saddened to announce the departure of deere839 from the Six Flags Florida Adventure team. Things have not been working out quite so well for the team and it was decided that it was best for him to go.

^ When two B&M tracks get manufactured together...


Seriously, this is an all-star cast of NL2 designers, coders, builders and landscapers...

What you guys are doing is alright, but really you guys are using your combined talents and abilities to recreate what we've all seen and been on with painstakingly detailed realistic mistakes included.

Why? XD For instance, I'd be more interested to see what you could do with Arrow's model better than what they did rather than a labor of love that feels 30 years old and outdated y'know?

I think this can be on of those things that shapes the direction NL2 heads with the fandom. We used to be way ahead of RL in terms of what coasters can do, I think they got a lot of designs and ideas from the fandom. And just like the NL2 team I think a lot more sites and YT videos get scouted than we realize. But I'm pretty positive that what they wouldn't be looking for are cliches that even the GP is tired of even if they are epically beautiful.

Summary: Please don't build a park of copycat coasters, build an innovative dreampark!

^ Oh haha, we haven't shown some things for a reason. Many things have changed as well that were "copycat" coasters from other parks.
You are going to shitt your pants when you see this Giga coaster in full.

Just in the most recent pic posted, the spine is never wider than the thickness of the rails (maybe the most difficult problem to solve I know), the gauge of the track needs to switch to normal after the supporting spine segment splits off to hit the ground, and the shaping of the crest looks like it may be too circular (but I can't say for sure at this angle).

VERY pregnant your giga looks. Maybe it will birth a nice floorless or sitdown looper.

Thank you for bringing that up. We will fix the issue. About the shaping, it is very hard to tell from the picture posted but I will tell you that the shaping does need a small amount of work still on the crest. This coaster is no where near being finished. We decided to post a picture because there has been no update recently. Again, thank you for bringing it to our attention.


EDIT: It has been re sized and fixed

Construction crews have been very busy lately finishing up some of the parks newest coasters. While the names have been kept a secret for now they have released these two pictures.

The crews have also release the height and speed of each coaster. Can you guess what each is?

I do love the night photo of these giant coasters that makes me think of Top Thrill Dragster collaborated with Millennium Force! So realistic I would really love to keep it as one of my wallpapers! :)

Strata must be taller than Kingda Ka because Six Flags wants all records.
