Can I finish a project? Changa's Thread
NoLimits Coaster

Almost immediately, I have gotten distracted and started a new project.... but at least I finished it this time!:

Tornado - Gerstlauer Spinner

After a stressful few weeks, I decided to commit to a quick project that I could complete in a day and realise a layout idea that had been nagging me for a while.... It ended up taking a week, even when rushing the scenery. But I am very happy with the result!

Tornado has a multi pass launch, through a helical spike and reaches a top speed of 70kmh before winding down a compact, stacked layout that stretches over a main pathway and interacts with the queueline. Inspired by Mandrill Mayhem's bizarre forward spike, the launch concept for a spinner in tandem with the station layout was what I had hoped to bring to life (though it would ideally be a double launch instead of a triple launch for the sake of pacing and throughput. I simply don't have the java knowledge to ever attempt manual scripting!). The station and queue layouts are a smorgasbord of bestdani's build shapes and was a very fun challenge to squeeze everything in.

Once I have added a few more trinkets to complete the area, I will upload this to the exchange!
Here is a timelapse of the full construciton period. Unfortunately, when condensed down to 90 seconds, it looks like a mess. However, I thought it would be fun to make anyway just to have the construction recorded (and so that I can delete the 10+gb of video on my laptop), next time I will try to create a separate window for a 3rd-person timelapse and see how that fares:

Further boardwalk work

Before things got more hectic, I had carried on with the Boardwalk theming by reducing the width of the boardwalk itself, and by then cramming more rides into the reduced space! These need more work done to them before they truly fit in, but progress is progress!
