If I'm creating a Sci-Fi-y coaster I tend to use the Black/Red colour scheme because of the Sci-Fi station themeing from RCT2 and Black in RCT3 tends to look like a very dark grey.

I don't think anyone copies anyone. I think you both came to the same logical conclusion. I can empathise with the assumption of intellectual property mimicry. The aeroplane heavily references The Swarm intentionally or not.

I'm incredibly jealous of you two having the Wingrider to build with. The one I have isn't an B&M one, it's a strange barrel Intimin one.
 
There is a link to the one I used on my thread. It's definitely a good CTR. Plus, I didn't use very much in-game scenery so colors were simply my choice.
 
Although, as reddude have stressed, the two projects seems very similar, I am curious to see how coasterboy is going to tackle this theme.

Looks good for the moment, but I'll wait a more global picture to really comment on the project.
 
I downloaded this ride-type and tried to think out-side the box of themes.
You can do a pretty sweet 'Jungle Theme' by colouring the track green and the supports brown to emulate a thick canopy.
Paint the cars Red, Blue and Yellow; Parrot colours.

Ta-da, un-apocalyptic themed wing rider.


I fear aviation would be the only theme for this ride type. Or a Manta ray. You can't duel two of them because there's an obvious overlap which looks wrong.
 
I made one last year, with the NightFlight CTR, before this new one came about and I themed mine around a pirate bay.

^^Good idea for an alternative theme. However, I disagree that you can't duel them. I have considered doing this before and it would just involve doing something besides mirroring them.

^Ah yes, the one that beat me :-( Despite the criticism I had then, it was well made and I liked the theme you chose.
 
^ Thanks :)

This whole topic just sounds like a competition waiting to happen. Apocalyptic Wingrider challenge!! lol
 
Thanks for your responses :)

In response to reddude333, I would just like to say that I am NOT copying him and I certainly don't want to - we both chose a simillar theme and we will have different ways of presenting these themes. That said, I can understand why some would think I was trying to emulate his designs, but I assure you, I'm not a thief!

Cough The Swarm.

I must admit, I was certainly influenced by The Swarm (and this will become apparent in certain angles), but it's my own take on the theme :)

Thanks :) I don't really want to give TOO much away at this stage, but there'll definitely be a more global picture in the future :p

Looking good, although I have to say that the whole apocalyptic theme is getting old now. It's been overdone!

Thanks :) Yeah, the whole world-ending theme has been done frequently in recent times, but I couldn't resist - there's a certain degree of beauty to destruction in my opinion :p

Looks very good! :p

Update 1:
"It's call was cacophonous, a piercing clash of glitched screaming and reverberating growls - a sound that could have only came from the deepest depths of Hell"

Seems that you master the art of making teasers quite well.
I'm not totally satisfied with the inclusion of trees in your theme nonetheless.
 
I'm having trouble with my wingrider designs of horrific clipping. I accidentally cause a lot of literal head-choppers.
 
I don't know what wingrider catwalks to use, if there are any. And because the seats are wider than one RCT3 tile, I can't make good stations, even with tonnes of CS!!
 
I have more issues with finding catwalks although I know they are out there (I guess I should just look for dive coaster catwalks) than I do with making stations.
 
Another update :)

"On that night, the world changed as we once knew it. On that night, every man, woman and child were thrown from their dream worlds into cruel reality. On that night, the fire rose like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Maybe this was our rebirth, maybe this terrible THING was trying to cleanse the earth of our greed, our sins. Maybe we deserved this."
