I feel that we haven't had a whole lot of activity as a company lately, so I made this thread so that we can talk about ideas that we have and plans in private.

Right now, I'm planning to have a turn after the launch on Palisade, followed by a twisted horseshoe roll, an airtime hill, a stengel dive, and a pop up into a brake run and station. I'm also thinking about possibly making a tutorial for my brakes.

Post away!

Cool, I'm excited for your coaster, it looks great. I don't have NoLimits either, but I might ask for it for Christmas. Ask James if it's worth it, he has it and likes it.

No Limits is worth it if you use it. Its a thing that goes in phases. Some days you'll just wake up and say " I wanna make a No limits coaster today!" Then others you wont know it exists.

Well, I've decided to make Palisade dip down under the first turn. I hope I can have it and the final video done by Christmas, I'm running short on time. I have off from the 18th though, so I have a week off before Christmas to build.

I got a Loopin' Lightning for Christmas, mainly just to see what the turning track is like. I'm building with it a lot, it's fun actually. ;) It's just to build with when I have a big coaster up that I don't want to take down yet.

I'm planning my next large coaster as well, and I think I'll make it a fairly tall invert. Does that sound good?

Merry Christmas as well!

Don't be offended, but I think I'm going to let you keep that one. I have something else in mind. ;)

It's layout isn't complete yet, but so far it's a 12-13 granite rod lift, predrop, 45 degree turning drop, loop, immelmann, and then I'm not sure. I'm thinking about having a twisty helixy thing around the loop like on Pantheon, and hopefully including a corkscrew and/or a zero-g in there too. Thanks about the award also! Congrats to you too!

I would like to know if yall want me to try a 20 foot launched coaster, or something different? I would like to know honestly.

I would go for it, but try to have a unique layout. I'd like to see that.

well, instead of having it be just like KK and TTD, i think the twist on the way down should twist more than 270*, maybe like 300*. then have the pullout go over the lauch. then maybe a large overbank which ends up coming under the top hat section. uhh, then have a rising helix the opposite way of the overbank around the pullin of the top hat. end with a few bunny hills into brakes, i will try and draw a picture for you. but do you understand what i mean?

Well i doubt i'll have the peices for that. but it would look kind of like MPTHRILLRIDES Flash but instead of the hill a helix. I was thinking of doing it like the breaks in the Slowing down of TTD(The breaks) i was thinking of doing a Big Loop. What do you think?

Well, I think I mainly finished the layout for my invert.

Lift, predrop, 45 degree turning drop, loop, immelmann, helix type thing around part of the loop, zero-g, then a small twister section with a corkscrew. The station will be at the end.
