Now, if, and I'm saying it, the name were to be Centurion, What if the track had the appearance of actual gold? I wonder how much it would reflect and shine then as a brand spanking new coaster?

I would love a metallic shimmering gold for the track and white supports. It just screams (no pun intended) Rome. Ancient. Classic. It certainly fits.

Regardless of the themeing, it would look great on any coaster.

I still think a white train with golden lap bars and the front decorated with a red roman galea (like the mock-up) would be cool!

Like my concept for the train on the previous page.
Anywho, I will be working on a 3D model of the station if it were themed to Rome. I'll post when I finish. I will use google sketchup, so there won't be a coaster to go along with it.. If you want to see the coaster, I posted on the previous page I think. The station will be heavily themed to rome, but I doubt that Cedar Fair will actually do something like what I have in mind for the station. I'm doing like a Parthenon type deal... :)

I'll even 3D model a train to go with it. Any wishes for this roman style train that ya'll want me to model?

How do you learn to play no limits? I'm a WHIZ at RCT3 and downloaded a NL demo a couple years ago and didn't understand it at all. It looks incredibly realistic and right up my alley if someone could let me know? I'm not sure if NL2 has a tutorial or what...

Just a fantastic job. Did you make the models of the other rides and buildings in SketchUp? Everything is really impressive.

I will say I'm hoping that there are more airtime moments in the real thing than in your version. I'll be sad if there's no element like the one on Leviathan right after the first turn, which is one of my favorite moments on any coaster.

All the models are awesome. I really want them. Anywhere I can download any of these? Or can you send it. Great work. I wish I was artistic and could make concepts etc. If I can ever figure NL2 out, I will try to make a design myself. I dont even know how to get that image into NL2 to trace over it. :lol:

Also, besides the ride theme, what about the whole are of "thrill zone" do you guys think it will become more of a roman themed, if the coaster is in fact roman, or do you think it will remain the same and just the area in front of the coaster may have some good themeing? How would Fury be themed, when I think of it I think of the mutant military guys at scarowinds..

rcoaster10 - I will echo the sentiments of others - you did a fantastic job regardless of how accurate it turns out to be. If it is anywhere close to what you designed it appears to clearly be a world class coaster.

I'd be very happy with those colors too. If that was exactly what we got, it would be the best coaster I've been on and I'd be thrilled to have it at Carowinds. Hopefully they landscape it that well like with Intimidator and none of it is on pavement.

I am designing the station on google sketchup. I'll make sure to add a lot of vegetation. :)

I really love some of these No Limits renderings. I must say though, even if it makes the ride time shorter I want it to be as much small speed hills as possible. I want SPEED, SPEED and more SPEED on this bad boy!
