This is a project started in NL1, now converted to NL2. I began working on this re-creation a (long) while ago and it still in the making. Hopefully I should be able to release it within a few more weeks...hopefully... It's a massive amount of work to say the least.
Here are a few screenshots of what I have done so far. Note that the water ride in the last pictures is an actual ride; you will be able to ride it as well as Thunder Dolphin. Upcoming, I will try to find a way to animate the Ferris wheel too.

This looks absolutely stunning. I had no idea there was even a log flume there! Keep up the great work.

If you need help animating the Ferris Wheel, you can ask Spike or TheCodeMaster on NLE

Will you make the Big O wheel have no ugly black Sketchup shadows?

First, thanks everybody for the feedbacks, I appreciate a lot!

To Paradox: I'm studying the script provided in NL2 and hope to find the right way to adapt it to the "Big O". However, if things stall too long, I will certainly ask one of these guys for help. I don't want to stretch this project for more years (many, who followed this project in NLE, knows how long it's been in the air.. ) I wish to move on soon and start something new.

To cool5: As I will need to rework the 3d model of the Big O, I will certainly apply corrections such as this dark shadow problem.

Spez, did you see the video of the big O wheel that i showed you in NL Exchange? It had the ride duration, height and speed of rotation.

I did. Still, I need to change some settings and details inside the 3D modeling software to make it work. Reworking the Big O is probably my next task. Either that or finishing the structure underneath.

Although I can't say if and when I might resume this project, here's a recent video of Thunder Dolphin and a few moments in the log flume.
