    Parks With The Steepest Topography

    Something I never really thought about before, but I am always fascinated by terrain coasters and parks built into the side of hills or valleys. What parks out there have the steepest terrain? The two that come to mind are Kennywood and Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

    Views That Take Your Breath Away

    So after riding it several times during the day I decided to experience Stormrunner at night. As we blasted up the first hill I threw my hands up. Sitting in the second to front seat for a second I felt like I was flying over the entire park, and the view took my breath away more than the drop...

    Can you diagnose my coaster related illness?

    So after my full day at Hershey park where I rode rides like Storm Runner, Fahrenheit, and Skyrush multiple times, I had some issues falling asleep that night. Laying in bed my body still felt similar to the way it does when I experience "air-time" on a coaster. I assume others have had this...

    My 2013 Summer Projects (Updated July 25th Zenith Released)

    So this may be my last summer where I have the time to make NL rides, so here are my most recent projects. I want to focus on how my rides interact with pathways and other elements in a theme park, so I am doing a lot of building with supports. My first ride is a B&M floorless set at a park...

    Last of Its Kind

    This question might be a little far out there but I was doing a little thinking... As technology progressed and theme parks get larger, old rides get knocked down and new ones take there place. Eventually entire breeds of roller coasters are wiped out to make room for taller, faster, more...

    Pink Roller Coaster?

    I was working on painting a NL ride the other day, and came to realize I don't think I have ever seen a pink roller coaster. Is there any out there I'm forgetting?

    Previous Record Holders

    So anyone who's taken the time to make an account on this sight, probably recognizes names like "King Da Ka", "Mellenium Force", and "Magnum XL 200" as record breaking coasters, but while perusing the internet today, I found a few that I never knew where the tallest and fastest of their day...

    AutoCad and No Limits

    So for a while I have wanted to create rides with .3ds scenery but I have a mac so that has already been an issue. Last semester for school I got a free copy of AutoCad 2013 for my laptop, and am now wondering if I can get the 3d files from there into no limits. AutoCad used to have a .3ds...

    A Tale of Two Towers

    A while ago I had an idea for a spinning coaster whose blueprint was larger vertically than horizontally. The idea was to support the ride between two towers, but I made the mistake of designing the track before the towers and soon enough the whole thing fell apart. I've decided to try it again...

    What Should Be My Summer Video Game?

Its just a summer job and it mostly deals with keeping the park and rides safe. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else here has worked at an amusement park or...

    How Much Does Wind Affect A Coaster?

    The particular coaster in question is Desparado. On a travel channel documentary, owners of the casino made the claim that with the right wind speed, Desparado can reach speeds of up to 93mph (13mph faster that rcdb lists as its top speed). I know train weight, weather, wind and many other...

    A Different Take on the Spinning Coaster

    Ok, so you are going to have to bare with me and picture OTS restraints on this thing, but here is the general concept. Instead of spinning 50 or so feet off of the ground, riders will climb a vertical lift approximately 115-130 feet into the air. The ride then spins dangerously along the edge...

    What is the Purpose of This?

    I noticed this is the queue for Fahrenheit yesterday and I was wondering what is the purpose of what looks to be plastic piece located directly behind the back right top wheel of the last car. I think this piece does touch the track, but i think its too small to produce any significant drag...

    Coasters Built on top of other Coasters

    With the addition of Skyrush, Hershey's Comet Hollow section now features four coasters (Skyrush, Great Bear, SDL, and Comet) all crammed together in one small section of the park. I was wondering what other parks have several coasters piled on top of one another?
