I thought I would give a racing coaster a shot. The tracks intertwine and cross over many times, but stay together.
I'm looking for a name, so if you have any ideas, let me know.
Colors are not final, so if you have suggestions, feel free to add those as well.
I still have to clean up some supports, but if you would like a download, send me a message.
Enjoy!

I like the style of the ride. But what concerns me is that some parts are very symetrical, yet other parts are very "dueling". I don't think it has a consistent layout. But I like the colors, and it looks like a fun ride :cool:

And I like that you posted a ton of screens (+10,000 forum points :p)

Wow, that's mammoth size! It looks really neat! :)

^^I see your point, but when you ride it, it feels more like a racer than a dueler. (Le Monstre is a racer coaster in Canada that has two tracks that intertwine sort of like this).

^Thanks (and yeah, it is really long--about a mile per track).

Very smooth, some big nice turns and intertwining. :) It didn't make it to the first MCBR though. It could have just been my version though (1.55)

That's too bad. But I think you're right--it's a version issue. (I'm running 1.6). Thanks for your comments.

1.6 has a friction update, and you can turn it on or off when selecting coaster types.:)




The trains are disturbingly long for 6 seaters, lol. The layout is a bit odd, but I like it anyhow. Other than that, a refreshing and interesting project.

-As for the colors- maybe a yellowish wood color, kinda like Boardwalk Bullet's?

-Add some trees, maybe a pond and some little hills, it will make a huge difference how your ride is presented.

No there not. Look at all of the Intamin Pre fabs. theyre all 6 cars.

I know, but it looks weird with the "classic" 6-seater style trains that come with NL.
Look at the 6th and 7th screen.

chris - thanks for defending my trains ;) I personally like them long on a coaster of this size.

mayoki - thanks for your comments, I will add some trees and such before I'm done. I'll try some new colors and post some screens. (Right now my priority is fixing some support collision issues). I'll get to the final touches soon enough though!

Sorry for the double-post.

I hereby introduce: GoldRush - "Race for the gold!"

I kept the same basic color scheme, but made three trains gold and three silver, and I made one track gold and the other silver.
Scenery and other environmental details to come soon.
