My last upload of the school year! I'll be back again in September (or perhaps August) with my next ride; see you then.

This is a variation on the B&M mega coaster, built for the final round of a NL tournament, and is accompanied by "Flight of Icarus" by Iron Maiden, of course.

Enjoy your ride.

  • I'd take this over dback any day, I thought it was just so fantastic and original, yet still realistic. It's kind of like a cross between our modern b&m hypers of today with good ol raging bull and goliath. Absolutely loved it, and the splash down deceleration did look spot on 5/5 and favorite

  • Thanks! You nailed it: the first thing I did when drawing the layout was to take the "best" parts of raging bull/goliath and use them in a "modern" way with some elements from diamondback. I kind of wish B&M would do the same!

  • That was amazing.

    But.. I need a little help... Ok, I just got NoLimits yesterday, and Im trying to make the chain lift. I want it to be like the one in this video. Straight (from the top view), like this: -- not like this: ~

    But I also want the chain lift to go up at an angle.. and it wont work for me.

  • Welcome to NL! If you want to make a segment completely straight, highlight it and press "i". A proper lift should be three segments: a curve up to the angle, a long straight portion, and a small curve downwards at the top. If you're building by hand, you'll have to stay on the grid to keep things straight without working really hard.

    The ride in this video was made entirely with Tia's Elementary, so it'll be hard to make yours look exactly the same. Hope this helps.

  • Ooh! Thanks. I just finished the ride. Its not the best. I got a new problem though (sorry!) The camera view is really weird. Like... It kind of magnifys the very middle of the screen... Can i send you a video of it or something?

  • No need for a video, it sounds like your "field of view" is too large. Hit F7 until it looks natural. Congrats on finishing your first ride (don't worry about it being good, everybody's first ride sucks).
