One of the best things in NoLimits2, such an epic layout with great theming. Custom Trains and tracks are amazing and I probably spent about 15 hours looking at this Park back before I learned making coasters in NoLimits myself.
Paragon - an Aether Systems Hypercoaster (Daytime)




=================WARNING=================
THIS PARK IS INCREDIBLY UNOPTIMISED, AND WILL BE PRACTICALLY UNPLAYABLE FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT HIGH END COMPUTERS. THIS PARK CANNOT BE OPTIMISED AT THIS STAGE, SO THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO TO RELEASE THE PROJECT
=================WARNING=================
In the year 2000, Aether system's opened the atlas lake research facility, unveiling their latest advancement in transportation technology. The general public are invited to experience the future, but be warned, their have been reports of glitches in the system caused by a nearby radio broadcasting tower
Are you ready to experience the future?
note: Some areas are unfinished, this is due to us not wanting to add even more lag into the park at this point

WOE, a great coaster with a great scenery. I would deduct 0.5 points for the big jerk when the train enters the lift hill. The transition is way to fast and will hurt real riders. You could change it easily by starting slow and speed up the train not before he is completely on the liclined lift. Besides that it is a joy to ride, especially with the music mix. A lot of fun :-)
Shaping is great, layout is great, surrounding area is great, custom scenery is great, background foliage and terrain and scenery are all great, onboard soundsystem was a fun addition even if its kinda eye rolling with how it switches between several songs mid layout X2 style. All the scripting is flawless here and my only gripe is that it seems kinda oversupported in the second half of the ride but the support work is so good I can't see that as too much of a fault. Overall probably the best thing I've downloaded on this site so far, 9.5/10 but i'll round up.
The amount of work that went into this is enormous and it shows. The trackwork was indeed near flawless and combining it with the outstanding scenery and sound effects made for a very thrilling experience. Luckily the lag wasn't that bad on my computer :P.
This was an awesome ride, I was stoked to be able to help! I'm sure it goes without saying that the trackwork is nearly flawless, it's a wonderful layout with great shaping. There's a lot of attention to detail here, something that most NL2 projects lack (even the big and popular ones). While exploring the park, the question of "Hm, I wonder if I can do this..." comes up quite a bit, and most of the time the answer is "yes". It's a lot of fun, and I definitely recommend actually taking the time to download and explore this park on your own.
This feels like a nice "packaged" Aether Systems ride, offering nothing new but rather a complete version of what we've already seen, if that makes sense. Kind of like Steel Vengeance. Yes, we've seen all of those elements on other RMCs, but this is like the quintessential RMC, the one that brings it all together in one nice and pristine package.
That being said, I'm looking forward to what's next from all of the contributors, hopefully an idea that's a bit more creative is in the works! Paragon is proof that you all have real talent with this program.
