Hello! I've decided to create a thread on the construction of my newest NoLimits 2 Coaster: Riptide. It starts of with it's first vertical lift, then rockets through 8 inversions and many turns before slowing down breifly to prepare for it's second vertical lift. The ride then fly's through it's second 8-inversion run before finally coming to a complete stop at the station. The ride layout is complete and now it just needs theming and scenery.

I'd make the drops beyond vertical, make the ride more fun, and more realistic

^Agreed. Having a straight vertical drop kinda defeats the purpose of having a steep drop
It's been a long time

Needs a small difference for a more thrilling effect! That's exactly why the drop is always steeper than the (vertical) lift hill is.

:D

Here's a look at the new drops, and thank's to everyone who suggested making them beyond vertical, I agree it makes it more realistic and fun! :D I'll probably refine the drops a bit but here is where they are currently.

Hmmm... Corkscrew Cobra Roll the ride?

I spy 4 cobra rolls and an infinite amount of corkscrews. Perhaps you can try to add some variation in the elements you're using. :)

Just a really strange suggestion, but what about adding tunnels for each lower part of an inversion? ;)
