I have been looking every where for any picturse of the ending helix on Cyclone. We all seem to take about the same standard photos of the lift, loops, corks and the station but no where can I find anything on the ending.
Any help out there? Please?

This is the only picture I know of that comes close to showing the helix:

<a href='http://www.coastertown.com/Paramount/Carowinds/BlueRidge/Cyclone02.jpg' target='_blank'>View from Skytower</a>

<a href='http://www.coastertown.com/Paramount/Carowinds/BlueRidge/index.htm' target='_blank'>Coastertown.com's Carowinds pages </a>have a whole bunch of CC photos, but none of the last segment of the ride.

If only it was not hidden in the backstage area.

Thanks.
As I will be there in a few hours I guess I'll take my camera with me and get some more shots.
I am attempting to recreate all the coasters in Carowinds in No Limits. This is going to take some time as I started it last year with Top Gun and got as far as the batwing and stoped due to Real Life. So maybe by Summer's end I can get finished.
A freind of mine is going to do the 3DS models and I am sending him photos of the areas around the coasters and the stations as well. He does a fantastic job with 3DS and seeing how that is part of his job I will have to be patient and wait for him to do this in his spare time.

<off topic> i have a question about no limits, is it hard to build the coasters??? how long does it usally take??? i want to know because i'm gonna buy it in a few days <off topic>

good thing you are getting it, it it just awesome. It will take some time to build, so i suggest you go to the Help button and read some things about it. Then, start simple like an arrow looper or just have a Junior Hyper or something without elements to get you used to the game. Once you get the hang of it, it will take around an hour to get the layout complete with supports, and then 1-2 hours to perfect it. But, in the end, it's worth every second.

I love NL! I bought the Mac OSX version the day it was released. Unfortunately, I have not had time to learn how to build yet. But I have had a helluva fun time riding other peoples creations. I especially love the re-creation of defunct wooden coasters.

Well, I got my pics today of the underground helix and alot more pics of the station and very different angles and shots of the track. This way I can get the angles and twists correct.
I love No Limits and yes, it is easy to build once you get a feel for what it does but it is hard to get a great coaster built.
To see what I mean here are 2 of the best sites around for it:

<a href='http://www.weeweeslap.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.weeweeslap.com/</a> <--- A great freind of mine runs it and there are great coasters for downloading and rateing plus the forums to help.

<a href='http://www.coastersims.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.coastersims.com/</a> <--- Another great site for coasters to download and rate plus forums for help. I was an administrator there for over a year and have many a friend there also.

One word of caution...Do not try and create multiple accounts or you will get banned. Write down your username and password and have cookies turned on in your browser.

Both sites are free to join and both have awesome coasters to download and very helpful forums. If you join either look for coasters by Phyter, Weeweeslap, Real, Hensixx, xxBusterxx and of course, yours truly, Foreseer.

^ and here is another warning. Make sure you rate the coasters you download. If you don't, they will also ban you from downloading. I don't think you have to rate every one that you download but just a certain percentage.

True to a point. At coastersims you must rate at least 1 out of 5 you download.
