Mr. Magnussen's Magnificent Flying Machine - No Limits 2 Coaster

"Come one, come all! Step right up to the most-magnificent-machine-sophisticate! Have you ever wondered what it's like to fly like an eagle!? To kiss the sky and leave the ground behind!? Come taste the sweet, liberating breath of the open air on my Magnificent Flying Machine!

Take a balloon from the fairgrounds outside of campus up to the balloon port on top of the guardian mountain. The rest of the festivities will held there, as well as the entrance to my flying machine. Don't be late!"

Okay where to start... This coaster wasn't really meant to be a roller coaster, as much as it was intended to recreate an experience and a sensation, with a No Limits coaster as the medium. I wanted to recreate the sensation of wingsuiting and base jumping, and incorporate those elements into a roller coaster, so I guess you could call this the "wingsuit coaster".

As for the coaster and it's theme, I wanted to take a fantasy approach and really focus on the experience and less on the feasibility. As much as I do enjoy the technical side of coasters, and I have projects in the past where that was my goal, I wanted to let this ride be more creatively driven. I like to think of it as 'magical realism' for roller coasters. The trackwork itself is intended to be drawn out and rhythmic, which highlights the sense of flight. I made this coaster in FVD++ like 2 years ago before NL2 came out and it was too big for the NL1 map lol.

And I do want to note just to be clear, I never intended to support this coaster. This theme was always my intention with the ride and I designed it not to be supported. I don't think I would make a coaster of this size, try to support it, and then advertise it as realistic lol.

This was my "I'm learning 3D modeling programs" ride, so be nice lol.
