Yeah howzit SA topians?! My intro thread…
Who here likes a day at Gold Reef City or Ratanga but exclude all the nonsense rides and goes for the big ones?

Well I do indeed. Hell since I wasn’t big enough to ride the stuff I loved looking at them people screaming there lungs out. IOW I’m a major enthusiast of B&M, Giovanola, Intamin, Gravity Group etc… coasters.

Anyways this thread is under the games forum for a reason though so I’ll discuss about a very powerful simulation app all us crazy people have been using since it came out. Nolimits Rollercoaster Simulator (now at version 1.7). A two part application consisting of an editor and a simulator. Here’s the wiki page for more in depth info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Limits_(software)

Anyways these are just some of the stuff I’ve built.

Tower of terror GRC recreation. (When the ride was actually still good.): :cool:

My advice is for you not to edit your original post as it just triggers the filtering all over again.
 
This is the problem with new MyBB members - they don't have a clue to what they are doing.

"Hulle gan MyBB breek!"
 
Thanks guys.

Here’s a very interesting prefab ride built by the NL team in v1.26.
Vekoma SLC suspended looping Coaster. There are duplicates of this design all over the globe including the extended helix versions like the Cobra in Cape Town.

And then there is this wooden coaster I’ve built. Thunercrush:

One thing i do wish, is for our country to get more coasters. I wonder how much it costs to build one?
 
Takes about 3 months for something like sonic where other designs usually takes more or less 3 to 4 weeks.

SA doesn't nearly have the funds for something new and exiting. Giovanola (Designing company of the Anaconda GRC), gave the guys massive discount as it is their only inverted coaster ever built. And the ratings of it rocket all around the world as a very well paced ride. Average Price range for B&M and Intamin ranges from $2,000,000.00 to even $25,000,000.00 which was the cost for Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point. Cedar Point proved it to be anything but a publicity stunt when they built Maverick in 2007 which is a ground hugging intamin rocket for an insane $21,000,000.00.
