Toms View of the World

It’s been a while since “Excelsior” was released to the world, so here’s my latest NoLimits creation - a monster wooden coaster simply called “Turbo”.

Enjoy!

This is a design which I’ve been tinkering with over the years - Excelsior - which started out life as a steel coaster, and has evolved with NoLimits into a wooden twister.

Now, following a discussion on the ECC mailing list, I decided to see what Expedition GeForce would look like as a wooden coaster. This was actually fairly easy, as the NoLimits simulator includes GeForce as a steel coaster anyway, so converting it to a wooden coaster wasn’t particularly hard.

The layout had to be tweaked a little to resolve the fact that a wooden coaster with the walkways and handrails is wider than a steelie, but the end result can be seen here…

Out-N-Backer

My latest track design from NoLimits is now available for download - “Out and Back Woodie” is simply that, a simple layout designed for airtime and speed.

Another NoLimits track for you, this time a large, fast, twisted, airtime laden wooden coaster.

Enjoy!

Timber Twister

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, a new track for NoLimits!

Another challenge from Richard, leads to a 250ft square, small footprint Eurofighter design.

I’m really pleased with this one - small footprint rides are always much harder than big sprawling monsters, and this is a fairly large ride, with terrain matched to enhance the lower sections, including the final barrel roll (pictured) which is skimming the ground.

Again, this could be built as a real ride… now what shall I do next - I’ve got a few ideas, but feel free to set me a rollercoaster design challenge yourself - however remember that it’s got to be practical - so very tall rides with very small ground footprints aren’t on.

However, make a suggestion and I’ll see what I can do.
