Another topic that I had over on TTF that I've brought over here now that we have a RCT3 and No Limits section on our brand spankin' new site here! 
I've finally decided to start sharing a few of my creations online to get feedback and (hopefully) improve my work.
I'll upload the tracks to my Mega Upload and post a few pictures on my Photobucket so that you can see what you download before hand.
Apologies if any of my coasters seem a little bumpy in spots as I make all of them by hand rather than with Newton 2. Some of the supports could probably be a lot better too but I'll get better over time.
Here's my first one:

Teaser Alert!
Teng:
My very first themed roller coaster and my very first B&M wing rider roller coaster (using the floorless trains as a substitute) is flying your way very soon. I'll be making my own scenery for it and the entire thing will be held up using custom supports. I've got it as smooth as possible and created a unique layout but with a few elements that took inspiration from existing and soon-to-be wing riders from across the globe.
In the mean time, I've decided to go-against what I said and upload another existing wooden roller coaster called 'Expedition'. Again, this is one of my earliest creations and so it isn't as smooth as it should/could be in spots and the supports and layout need adjusting. Originally I'd planned on deleting the ride but after seeing it again I decided to save it for uploading. I've not had time to smooth it all out but I did manage to drastically increase the rides throughput by adding trims, speeding up the lift, using bigger and longer trains and also adding another train too the ride as well.
All of this will be here very soon!
Teng will be a wing rider, yes. Expedition won't be though. I'm uploading that now....

Once 'Teng' is completed, I'll be starting work on 'Shuriken', a NoLimits Custom Eurofighter with two dark ride sections, two launches and an indoor beyond vertical drop! Shuriken would go alongside Teng at a theme park as a small, lower budget addition that offers a different kind of thrilling experience.
Here's Shuriken's logo in the mean time:
'Shuriken' Ride Sign:
'Teng' Entrance:
I bet you can't guess what's going through here?
This tower will stand next to the broken brick wall for my 'Teng' wing rider coaster:
Teng's station is now completed:
I've also finished the lift hill, added supports to about half of the coaster now and created a couple of pools around the ride. I still need to make a rock tunnel for at the bottom of first drop, a building with a collapsed roof, add bamboo and palms, finish the supports, add a few paths and create gates for the station. Then I can film a pov and off-ride for it, take some pictures and upload the track to my Mega Upload account.
A simple oriental style bridge for both 'Shuriken' and 'Teng':

Enjoy!
Work has now begun on 'Shuriken'. This ride will probably take longer to make as it will feature much more custom scenery and improved supports and track work (hopefully anyway
I've made a simple texture for my cars as promised:
It features the ride logo and two katana blades on the front as well as shuriken throwing star wheel covers. You also get a sneak peak of some of the ride there too.

Wild Thing
The world's first baby B&M dive machine!
Featuring a 95 degree drop - the steepest drop on any B&M roller coaster yet!
For better results with Wild Thing, untick the 'Improved Friction'. For some reason, my coaster has lost 3mph and it hangs at the top of the immelmann for too long. Its top speed at the bottom of the drop was 42 originally but now it's 39. It still only reaches up to 40mph without 'improved friction' though. :/
Anyway, here are two more shots:

My next coaster that I'm working on (besides Shuriken) is a kids coaster.
This new ride is basically designed as a replacement for the Beastie at Alton Towers as I feel that they should have replaced it by now so I've come up with my own design. The new coaster would actually be constructed where the Ice Show tent is as this is a larger footprint. The theme will tie-in with Storybook Land and will pay tribute to Peter Rabbit which was one of the best ice shows that the park ever hosted (in my opinion at least).
The ride is a little tamer than the Beastie (i.e. won't have 100+ laterals). It's smooth and painted to match its surroundings. The coaster will also feature more custom scenery. A story will be provided for this new ride in due course.
One fact that I can reveal about this new ride is that its theoretical capacity is 1160 riders per hour. This is 360 more riders per hour than the Beastie. This would eventually mean that this ride would rarely have a queue (apart from the first year that it would operate)! This kind of throughput isn't really necessary, it's just how it ended up once I'd finished making the coaster. My calculations are based off an actual equation though, not complete nonsense! :lol:
So far, I have finished the layout of the ride. Next will be supports, then the station and then the rest of the scenery before I finish it all off with some trees.
Here's the layout plan for my new ride:
Reports of an unidentified flying object over parts of the UK have now been discarded as the government reveals a new secret weapon (cheeky
According to eye-witnesses, this craft is capable of hovering upside-down before launching to its top speed in a matter of seconds! The project is still classified but it is thought that a document regarding this new jet will be released shortly.
Unmarked lorries have been spotted near one government facility that are thought to be holding the parts to this craft. They're distinguished by this logo:
This next update is to prove that I'm still working on this project:

Don't forget to let me know what you think of it.
A photo has been uploaded all over the web by an anonymous source and it's believed to show evidence of the new 'S: BtR' secret military craft being tested. Although it was taken in poor light conditions, a fast moving object can be seen moving across the bottom of the photo. Sites that have had this image uploaded to are being told to remove it, so it's only a matter of time before someone sees this copy here and this goes the same way!

Introducing....
Although it would be impossible to do this in NL, I can make a themed coaster and indicate where this element would take place. Thoughts?
I'm making a new ride and I've got a bit of a problem. I don't know what to call it!
1) Bone Crusher
2) Interceptor
3) Overlord
4) Megasaur
5) Raider
6) Monstrosity
7) Wolverine
Some of them sound a bit cheesy, but sometimes cheesy is fun! :lol: I think my favourites are 1, 4 and 7.
I may as well release a the logo for my new ride as it demonstrates the theme. I may release some of the back story for it too but I'll see how supporting the ride goes first as I've lost my patience with doing custom supports because they just take far too long (even though they do look vastly superior to the standard ones.
So I haven't been able to make any No Limits rides for a while (yeah, thanks computer
Ride Name: Bucktooth Creek Rampage
Roller Coaster Type: Gerstlauer Eurofighter
USP: World's first shot tower coaster (that has already been though-up, but nonetheless
Theme: Swampy Creek / Barn Yard
Style: Family thrill, verging on white knuckle.
(These two images are of a poor quality due to the fact that I spent about an hour planning them but only 2 minutes drawing them :lol: )
I wanted to combine the ride with a little comedy, so forgive me for this rather cheesy storyline/description...
So I'll hopefully be able to make this (or something along these lines) one day. Let me know what you think of the concept.
Managed to throw the first section of the ride together on my laptop:
That's all of the dark section to the ride completed. The blue outlines demonstrate the tower that would enclose the shot tower launch section and the red line stands for a rough average ground height level for the area.
The tower section could have space below ground height (besides the area for the technical bits n' bobs) to drop into so you launch to the top of the room, bob up and down, fall below where you started and then rise back up to lock into place and continue the rest of the ride.
Here's an update on the projects that I've been working on so far...
Monstrosity: B&M inverted
El Diablo: GCI woodie (inspired by the destroyed roller coaster in Fallout New Vegas)
Soar: B&M flyer (featuring special world first drop - teaser coming soon)
Bucktooth Creek Rampage: Gerstlauer eurofighter (featuring a world first shot tower - teaser coming soon)
Sausage Looper: Schwarzkopf looper
Shuriken: Gerstlauer eurofighter
As each ride is released, I'll cross it off from the list above.
So here's the teaser of another ride that I've been working on on my laptop: Soar - a B&M flying coaster with many unique elements, most notably, the first major drop (I need to think of a name for it
Feel free to comment on the teaser and anything else.
Wasn't sure whether or not to post it as it's not a coaster as such, just a new take on an element. I've no idea if it exists either, so forgive me if it does.
For now, I've called it the 'Interlocking Duelling Roll' as it's an ordinary barrel roll but is designed for duelling coasters. Basically, the two tracks/sides line up (the trains running along them side-by-side) and the two perform a barrel roll around each other. The two trains effectively roll over and under one another and create a unique near-miss effect. The element could be performed once, twice or three times to prolong the effect.
I'm sorry that the concept I've created to illustrate the element is rough (i.e. has no supports, isn't very smooth or heart-lined and the cars don't properly line up with one another), I just wanted to make a mock-up of the idea I had floating around in my head.
Let me know if anything like this exists or if you'd like to incorporate such an element into one of your own coasters as it'd be cool to see a more refined version in action.
BigAl said:Here's another world first concept that popped into my head a couple of days ago...
Motion Simulator Track:
The model above is two separate pieces that I borrowed to demonstrate the concept from the 3D Warehouse. I don't claim that either of the pieces are my own work, I simply put them together for this idea.
1. Basically, a small train (it could either be a single car or between 2 and 4 cars long) is brought to a halt on top of the track section which is held up on a motion simulator mechanism.
2. A section of track behind slides down to prevent the track with the train on it from striking it whilst the motion simulator is in-motion.
3. The train is then lifted up and down and spun around before it resumes to its original position or to a new area of track so that the ride can continue.
This element could be done as part of an enclosed show scene with other effects, or on its own in a themed environment, etc...
The obvious question after this (besides 'how on earth would you get that to work?'
It's still obviously a work in progress!
This idea is for a family thrill ride. The ride begins at a science/research outpost in the Himalayas and you board a train designed to look like an advanced snowmobile to hunt the legendary yeti.
The ride rolls out of the station and turns into a LSM launch run to give it some speed. The launch pulls 1.25 G's and reaches a maximum speed of 45mph before the end of the launch, ready for the next part of the ride.
The train slows down and rolls into a cave which looks like it could be a suitable hiding place for the illusive creature. The train pauses to allow those on-board to look around, but the creature attack the train from behind. The train rises up inside a dark, icy cave and is hurled around and you're powerless against the might of the monster that has you in its grip.
The yeti soon becomes tired and lowers your snowmobile to the ground (in-line with a different section of track as opposed to the track from which you'd just entered the cave) before you make a swift getaway. The ride does a second launch, this time to 50 mph, ready for the finale!
The whole sequence wouldn't last any longer than 40 seconds to allow the track to rest and be ready for the next train
