The loop looks lopsided.

I have trouble with shaping B&M loops in general, particularly this one since I have to steer clear of the lift and since it's at an angle when viewed from above.

^^ Same, I'm also having a hard time making the loop look like B&M's. The ride tends to get some tiny pumps on top of a loop though in fact, it has a fairly smooth entrance. ;)

Something I started, inspired by various removed/relocated roller coasters, and people missing at least some of them.

Twisted Twins.

Greezed Lightnin, Hypersonic XLC, and Moonsault Scramble's turn-around at the far end. I want it to pull 6 G's too, as well as form a Staffordshire knot with Time Machine's cobra roll.

I'm pretty sure if you start a thread on Son Of Beast on KI Central you'll get banned :lol:

Hypersonic XLC has got a Moonsault Scramble's element? Twisted Twins is connected with a Hypersonic XLC's launch part? Greezed Lightnin has a Hypersonic XLC's vertical tower part? I'm totally confused in a really really good way...

Think of it as a roller coaster version of Frankenstein's monster.

Drachen Fire's wraparound goes to the right, not to the left.

I hope I can correct that without ruining anything.
I feel like lately I have an above average amount of smaller WIP projects going at the same time, with varying levels of fun factor. I am not having quite as much fun designing the above mentioned "Chimera" coaster (which is named FrankenCoaster) as I thought I would, but I'm not ready to officially cancel it, so it will be on hold for now. Now you see why I don't like having 1 thread per project anymore. I was gonna post in 'what are you doing in NL2 right now" but I felt like it was 'too many' screenshots for that.

Tempest (or Ragin' Tempest or Tempest Fury, just to keep up with Kentucky Kingdom's cohesiveness with names of new coasters) is a launched flying coaster I made up, to replace the Stella side of Twisted Twins and flies all around Storm Chaser. I am having way more fun with this than FrankenCoaster.

First launch, and the skybox was downloaded from some site (creative commons).

Banshee & Colossus inspiration.

Pretzel loop with a curved bottom, wrapping around Storm Chaser's lift.

It's anyone's guess which of these I finish next after that:

NL2 version of a fairly large GCI from NL1 (this one in fact).

Polercoaster wrapping around the Eiffel Tower. I don't really feel like recreating Kings Island tho.

Ultraviolet, a NL2 version of a B&M hyper twister from NL1. Supports are just slapped on to kinda preview the overall look. Nowhere near final.

Wooden hypercoaster heavily based on this. Probably going to have a different name since the removal of Son of Beast has kinda made ???(family member) of Beast??? irrelevant. Supports are placeholder. Thinking about calling it 'Caterwaul.'

You used the box girder idea from my spill water togo coaster?

Not specifically. I don't really remember exactly what I did. Something involving wooden coaster catwalks and turning them into L beams to join in the middle, I think.
Or are you talking about the truss on the wooden hyper? I used layers of Intamin track for that.
