Hayleia, how is one supposed to understand that thing O.O
Hehe :P
Even when you watch the video and when you have a 1st person view, you still don't know where you are and where you are going :P

@aeTIos, your coasters are probably really hard to put in Career mode but they are really well designed, and I don't see them in details but it seems to me like they could be seen in real parks :)

@ordelore, wow, you have a lot of straight turns at high speeds. Are the stats of those rides high ? O.O

There are definitively some rides in there that I wouldn't do IRL, although they look fun. I would be just worried about injuring my neck :P

I wrote a script to take advantage of a HUGE (I think max plot size is 128x128) plot of land which calculates the longest possible and fastest possible track you can make on it using a trainer.
The track ran at 1089 MPH. I need to find it and post it. The game was hilarious in it's graphic reaction to it. The coaster was vibrating several inches to the left of the station when it finished, and it ran entirely through the station if I didn't put a vertical drop stopper on it.

The way we spend our lives, man. (It took me an hour to write it up and it took it 30 seconds to build it.)

Keep trying.

Is that for RCT2 or 3? iirc in 2 your parks can be much bigger than a wee 128x128.

Well the stats I am talking about are just the Excitement, the Intensity and the Nausea ratings. They are available a short bit after your coaster made one complete circuit so you need less time to post about them than to make screenshots :P
Or you could even include them in the screenshots, as I did in my video.

Okay. I have totally not mentioned this before on IRC and I have totally not spammed people to check out screenshots of this coaster. So I figured I'd post this in there.

Warning: Image heavy, so spoilered.
Spoiler For Spoiler:

When guests enter the park, they are greeted with the roaring sounds of Wildfire racing through its 5 inversions. The smoke columns make the view even more spectacular.

In order to get to the entrance, you have to walk under the coasters third and fourth inversions, which together make up a cobra roll.

There really is only three meters between you and the track. It's a real thrill to stand under the track when a train passes by.

The first drop. Do you dare raise your hands?

The train passes under the bridge twice. Due to the high speeds of the train, water droplets splat all around the train when it comes close to the water.

The last bend. The ride lasts only 1 minute and 10 seconds, but it's intense!

The first inversion. You can see the smoke billowing up from the smoke generators, giving the impression of a fire in the bushes below.

For a ride this short, 5 inversions are a lot.

Finally, a first person viewpoint video:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64788231/WildFire.mp4

So yeah, now you know what a no-lifer I am, spending my afternoon doing time-wasting things like this. And I just realized that I forgot something, so I'll be adding that next weekend :P

Already saw, looks damn epic. O.O 10/10 I would not ride because it's too barf-prone for me. :P

Actually, according to the in-game stats, it's not too bad. Also again I forgot to check the stats, but it's something like 6.8 excitement, 5.8 intensity and 4.3 nausea.

Haha ! I actually like your park a lot. Not as a park I'd use in Career mode but as a park I'd totally visit in real life :D
