Since I haven’t followed the comp threads in a while, I don’t know if this idea has already been tried or not. I was wondering how much enthusiasm there might be for a comp in which you download the file and get an already-built coaster, which would probably be a “first” itself. The story behind...

Since I'm not sure what the CF limits are for file size, I thought it would be better to post a YouTube link like I did on Facebook than to try to post the video itself . It's fourteen minutes long, mostly concept art images, followed by video footage of three of the park's roller coasters made...

I've had NL2 for about a year and a half now, but with a move and several other changing circumstances, it's been a slow learning process. There's one thing I need to find out, though, in case anyone has made the same observations. The steps for taking video footage are pretty straightforward...

After the Banshee announcement at KI last summer, I kept hoping that one of the next comps would be for a B & M invert so I could do a re-creation of it - or I guess it would have been a "PRE-creation" in that instance, since I would have been going off of the videos and whatever track stats...

I take it BBH was the winner, since the deadline has passed and nobody else posted to say they'd be entering! A few weeks ago, I had to have Windows re-loaded on my computer, so I don't even have NL 1.8 right now. I think they did a backup of all the files I had, but the program itself is gone...

I don't have NL 2.0 yet, so I'll have to miss out on this one, but I want to make sure my past understanding of the "no tools" rule is still correct. I always understood it to mean no tools that didn't come with NL when you bought it, and wondered if that would still hold true if a future...

Looks great! I would have thought it was an Intamin track, but I guess Mack is similar, just as Arrow and Vekoma are at first glance. Speaking of Vekoma, it’s been a while, but do you remember, or maybe still have, my “Mined Over Matter” entry from Comp 4? The first bit of scenery on the ride is...

Thanks, Uncle Arly! Sounds like I got most of my "wish list!" I take it still no box-section roar. Come to think of it, B & M have been trying to get rid of that themselves, filling the box sections with sand pretty much on everything they've done since 2000 so there's no noise, or at least not...

After several years of posting on different threads about how I hoped NL 2.0 would have this or that, I’ve tried to remember everything I mentioned at one time or another and make a list. Can somebody who already has 2.0 say if it has these or not? You can copy/quote the list with “yes/no”...

Don't know if I'll have one or not yet, but I'm curious about the one in the pic. At first I was going to guess it was in The Netherlands, on account of what looks like a windmill in the background, but they could have those at any theme park. Wherever it is, I'm guessing it's been SNBO for some...

Thanks, Uncle Arly! Just to cover all the bases, I'll probably say in the post that I don't own the music selections, that all titles and artists are listed in the end credits and are available for MP3 download at Amazon.com, where I purchased them prior to making the video - some thing along...

On another YouTube-related matter, I've noticed that a lot of NL tracks get posted there, some of them with music. In most cases, they either name the song titles and artists in the posting or list them in credits in the video itself. Anybody know if that's good enough for copyright purposes...

Been there, done it, got the T-shirt...I definitely know the feeling, since I came in a close second in Comp 2, "Screw Me," but have been steadily slipping since then! Nice job on everybody's part who finished this one, though, especially to Hixee for the winning entry! I probably wouldn't be...

Well, I'm certainly sorry that I couldn't come up with one this time. Between being short on time over the last few weeks and not really being familiar with this type of coaster, I didn't want to do anything half-a__ed! Still, I'll be looking forward to seeing the tracks from everybody who...

I didn't see the Reverchon trains in mine, but I did see a Zamperla one. OK to use that one, or is that the Reverchon one? (I don't know the various spinning car manufacturers as well as some of the other types!) :)

^Heh, heh, thanks, MH7, I was sort of hoping that myself! Of course, I was a little bit prejudiced! It was a lot of fun, though, because the idea was from a coaster I had in RCT2 for a "TENN Wonders" theme park, highlighting significant events and places in Tennessee. The two schools I mentioned...

By lattice, do you mean the part of the loop that looks like a quad-rail Intamin track on the real rides? More important, though, in the template the vertical supports for the lift tower are large wooden beams. Shouldn't they be large steel tubes instead?

Maybe we could - Leighton's, as well as everybody else's that couldn't be finished in time. There've been several instances of that in each comp since Adventure Time, if not before that, and this time, at least two of them were from past comp winners. Sure would like to see what they would have...

^Wouldn't have minded that myself, since I'm "under the wire" getting mine finished as usual, but I just sent it in. I hope it got through OK, and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody else's! Seeing how this comp was for mega woodies, with no boundary like we had in Comp 1, maybe it could...

Since we don't have the style of track and trains as on Outlaw Run, Iron Rattler or the now tragically infamous New Texas Giant, I hope you're OK with the 4-seat PTC ones "acting the part," so to speak. That's the one that seems to most closely resemble the RMC cars, at least out of the types we...
