Metropolitan Madness Contest (RESULTS POSTED)
Contests

I am not very experienced with NoLimits 2 (I think this was my 12th coaster), so I knew the trackwork and supports were going to be eh (only the second time doing some what custom supports) so I really only cared about how good the layout was, and since you said it was pretty good, I am very content with that :)

edit: I also didn't know about the clearance thingy until just now, lots I still have to learn!

Screen Shot Saturday Madness! - Gallery Posted 12/12/2020
NoLimits Coaster

Been a long time since our last gallery. There's some good stuff in here, and some items that need some better angles of otherwise interesting work.

Darksludge: The focus of your screen is the station building. It's a nice station, but you can't see much of the coaster behind it, which is what should get a bit more attention to overall show us what your ride is about.

UtahCoasterEnth: Lots of feedback. Lagoon's 1912 roller coaster is a screen of the roof and roof supports. It's not focused at all on the coaster, which is just kind of there in the background. The roof just ends up a giant gray triangle with some red triangles holding it up. Nice abstract art, but not a coaster screen shot. If you want to use the station to frame the coaster, choose an angle where the station structure is around the edges of the screen and the subject of the screen (the coaster) is featured inside.

The focus of the next one of Roller Coaster is the black fence in front. It's taken at such an angle that the black fence obscures the coaster and ends up drawing your attention. Ground level shots are great, but if you have something in the way like that it doesn't work that well, especially if it's so distracting.

Of the next batch of 4 shots, the one in the station with the colorful roof is probably the best. Now the station building is used as a frame, and the subject moves to being the inside of the station and the train. The loading gates still take up a lot of the frame and aren't as interesting, but this is a better example of how to use the station structure to frame other things. The screens from the parking lot are a bit distant, are mostly sky, and the cars distract some.

Tyrush: There's a lot of rock in that picture which isn't quite that interesting. It didn't grab me, although it's an otherwise well framed shot with the train coming into the picture from one of the corners. Good action, just perhaps a different angle?

Lochedge Towers - Nolimits Park (Announcing Raubvogel, NEW for 2022!)
NoLimits Coaster

Welcome to Lochedge Towers, a medium sized amusement park that offers a handful of attractions, shows, and entertainment options. Opening in 1980, the park has slowly built itself up to a family mainstay for locals, and it continues to evolve to reach a larger audience and attract more tourists.

History
On the grounds of the park is the Lochedge Castle, located in the Villeurville section of the park today. This castle was built in 1880 and restored when the land became an amusement park in 1980. It is listed as a historic site and must remain preserved, with its full integrity kept intact. Due to the historic significance of the lands the park sits on, there is a 60m height restriction to preserve sightlines.

When the park debuted Drachen in 1985, it was the first major steel roller coaster to hit the region. To this day it is an extremely popular and nostalgic attraction, even with its rougher ride. Newer rides such as Nøkken, have taken the park from a local destination to a more global one. In 2019, park owner Hans Waldmann vowed to increase the amount of attractions at the park in the next decade to solidify it as a big player in the theme park industry. Visitors will find other rides such as Krieger and Ljósálfar to keep their young ones occupied throughout the day.

With some of the most beautiful scenery around and a first class entertainment experience, Lochedge Towers has nothing short of a great future ahead as it strives to be a world class theme park destination.

Notes
Alas, after slowly showing off all the other projects I had sitting around, here is my favorite! This is a “work in progress park” meaning there will be updates similar to how Terra Park operates. The biggest difference between this and previous projects is that this will be available for download! This park will have several “park updates” posted throughout time. Funny thing is that I already have the next release/phase almost wrapped up but that will not come till the time is right. For now enjoy this short teaser showing off just a few highlights of the park and be sure to download it here on the exchange on 7/8/20. More to come very soon

Vertical Lift Hill-Drop (Karnan)
NoLimits Coaster

If you have a long train, you need to shift the brake position on the section to the right until the train doesn't jerk or stall in the midair and make more spacing between holding brake and exit booster wheel. Here are the sample setting and results. I hope this works for you guys!

P.S. You can use both brake type in this trick. I use the magnetic brake on the gravity lab coaster is just because of its silent. It more feels like something went wrong that the train stops silently.
