About this user
Hello, welcome to my YouTube channel. Here you can find my videos that i have created, as well as sneak peeks here and there of new rides to come. You can also find my aircraft videos showing the numerous aircraft I fly, and what the aircraft can do.
Current News---------------------------------------
The Hyperbowl video has been uploaded. The final ride will feature more 3Ds, such as a station, and catwalks along the lifthill, as well as along the brakes and flat turns. Also, it may feature other theming, such as guest paths, or thrill rides.
2009 Theme Park Trips---------------------------
The 2009 season has officially ended. I do not have intentions of returning to any theme parks untill next year.

Planned Theme Park Trips for 2010------------
The 2010 season is quickly approaching! I shall be visiting Six Flags Magic Mountain, because I now have a 2010 playpass which gains me unlimited access to all of the six flags theme parks (not water parks) in California. I currently have trips planned every other month, and may go more inbetween.
Other info-------------------------------------------------
You may not know, but I am also the infamously known Xpress, and commonly frequent forums such as NLBench, CoasterForce, NoLimits-Exchange, and a couple other small sites. Currently, me and my buddies website, CoasterChamber, is down for an overhaul, however the CoasterChamber domain is still up and running for tool downloads, incase you misplaced one, or need to re-install, or just want to try some out. I encourage the use of tools with NoLimits Simulator, as it challenges your mind to think mathematically, "How can this track be built?" rather than placing verticies by hand and smoothing. I'm not saying handbuilding is bad, all i'm saying is those who refuse to try tools are afraid of their own imaginations as to what they can come up with. And no, having a Mac computer is NOT an excuse for not using them, you can install BootCamp and run them fine.
FAQ------------------------------------------------------
What do you use for creating your roller coasters?
I use the NoLimits Simulator, created by Ole Lange. It's not a free program, and needs to be purchased through www.nolimitscoaster.de via immediate download.
How do you make your tracks so smooth?
Well, I use numerous methods for creating tracks. My most used method right now is Newton2, by Entropy (TheRealEntropy), which allows control over shaping that other programs such as FVD (used in Elementary) cannot accomplish.
I also use Elementary to make things here and there, sometimes using FVD (Force Vector Design), other times using the included Wizards, or custom formulas.
Another method I use is handbuilding, and often using AHG on the handbuilt track to remove the annoying banking jerks. AHG does remove the lateral force, but rumor going arouns is that it can also remove pumps. It does not. It will MAGNIFY any existing pumps, and make them clearly noticeable, so AHG needs to have a flawless track for input to produce a perfect output track. For competitions where tools are not allowed, I will entirely handbank and remove pumps, banking jerks, and any other undesired things.
How long have you been building with NoLimits, and how long have you been involved with thrill rides?
Well, I have been a thrill ride junkie since I was about 8 years old, and really liked the first coaster I rode which was Giant Dipper at Belmont Park. After that, I was hooked, and hooked deep. From there, I started playing with RollerCoasterTycoon, the original, and loved spending hours creating my own little worlds.
Then RollerCoasterTycoon 2 came out, and I was overjoyed at having simple things, like blocking, and brakes that didn't fail when a ride broke down. Also, I loved the numerous new features, of which I have since forgotten because I abandoned RollerCoasterTycoon2 for RollerCoasterTycoon3, which basically made everything 3D, and had loads of new ride types, and features, such as water parks, or animals.
However, early in 2005, I discovered NoLimts Coaster. Ever since I started playing the demo, I knew I had to get it, and wound up buying it a couple months later. Since then, I have become a highly experienced designer, and my love for thrill rides has skyrocketed. Now i'm planning trips to theme parks every chance I get to, and am always comming up with new ideas for rides, or new concepts for companies.
How long have you been flying rc planes?
I have been flying since I was 8, so about 10 years now, when I got my first rc plane for Christmas, a 2 channel Wattage WindCruizer, of which I flew probably a dozzen times. From there, I was also hooked on planes, and ever since I have had a passion for flying them.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask :)
