Have you considered trying out Planet Coaster 2??

Only a little. My wife is more into that. I like the realism and sandbox style of NL2.

Video request: Recreation of The Villain at Geauga Lake
@RaptorAlex 4 сағат бұрын
There are some pretty good videos of Villain already. I try to do things without videos, or with rare or bad-quality videos. Though it would be fun recreating that.

My partner dated John Allen's granddaughter when he had to go work on this roller coaster and they got special bracelets that got all the employees attention and they got to go to the front of the line every where they went. Very cool to see the actual roller coaster he had worked on

John Allen or John Miller? Miller designed this coaster, which would make sense. Either way, that is super cool!

The real ride was so out of control, they had to add bumpers to the outside of the cars after the first season. I imagine this was close to what that was like.

One more thing I can add….you got the departure out of the station spot on correct. There was no railing on the right side until the start of the lift hill. Missing here is the miniature train ride whose tracks approaching its own station were pointed directly towards the Flyer’s tracks as they left their perspective station. The coaster made its turn to its left towards the lift hill, while the train made IT’S left turn into its station. If timing was right, both trains would appear to “play chicken” with each other before both made their left turns…which were so close, riders on both trains would try to reach out and high five each as they passed…no railing on the coaster made that reach appealing! If you were riding on the mini train, as you approached that point of the meet, your eyes perceived that you were heading directly onto the lift hill of the coaster. The missing railing really tricked you!

God rest crystal beach and fantasy islands soul! Amazing parks, i wish i could go back in time and see the magnificence of crystal beach myself. Fortunately enough, "The Comet" a very famous coaster from crystal beach still runs today in a six flags in New York. Amazing how its still in operation.
@RaptorAlex Ай бұрын
Comet was my 400th coaster. It's so good. I really loved walking on the exit ramp because it gives a great view of the station that was Cyclone's. It looks the same, which I love.

Excellent work! You captured the surrounding view from the top of the turnaround perfectly! I am also happy to say I rode the original many times in the early 80’s. Best way to describe it….hell bent for leather ride! It was fast, you got serious air on the second and third drops…and if you were riding in the last car, you better be ready for that turnaround…hard left into a cracking quick right! No divider on the seats…you got to know your ride partner well! (Great for riding with a person you had a crush on!)

I'm amazed that anybody could actually find plot plans and the actually engineering layout of this monster. Everyone always said the double reversing loop from the outset was the worst but they said the whole thing was like it just got faster and more violent all the way to the end. Truly remarkable. I grew up hearing the stories about this from my parents and grand-parents generation but it was gone lonnnnnng before I was ever around. It was the stuff of legend to anyone who knew anything about Crystal Beach Park and I spent the summers of my teens during the 1970s going to the park almost whenever possible given that I only lived 30 miles away in Niagara Falls. I knew the Comet (that replaced the Cyclone) and the entire park inside out and backwards. Fun times.
