I have been waiting for so long to make a collab as good as this upcoming project. This project won't really be anything in the bright and tropical theme like RCTMitchell's Mariner. Dark themed rides really are becoming more common for the season, dull, faded and coarsely blackened rides. As much as I try to envision a brightly themed ride, dark mythological creatures lure my mind on making a coaster.. at least for the moment.

This collaboration will be big. I suppose this will cover up the rest of the year's plans for my NoLimits creations (besides G-Machine & my other ride). Frank, Nick and I are planning to make this as accurate and as bold as it's themed to become. 3ds and things a-like will be done by Frank. Nick has already created a great layout of which I thought would bring out this ride type extensively. I will be supporting the work and keeping full aspect of it's other necessecities in order to complete it.

The themeing behind this ride, dark and deepening waters surrounding the twisted track. This is themed on almost any belief of a sea creature (Loch Ness, Leviathan, Bunyip, etc.) that you can think of. Certain interesting uses of 3ds will make it more of a realistic and outstanding looking creation. I give my best regards to both Nick and Frank in the attempt to make this a great collaboration. With what time we three have online, we will try to push as many updates as we are possible to make.

Seems nice so far

Sounds like this will be good.  Hope to see this go well.

Track layout is complete. Support has already begun. Full look at the layout should be released sometime this month.

B&M for the win.

Finally an update to put regarding Mariner. There has been a lot of progress on the coaster. The track is held up, and track connectors are being put in place followed by the supports, their flanges and the footers. Due to the necessity of space and scenery additions, the supports are a bit smaller than the regular B&M supports that you'd find on another wing coaster. The support work resembles that of Oblivion, very thin yet sturdy and will help hold the ride in it's erect position. Scenery will be added once all the support work is complete. An update should be up by next week once most of the construction of the supports are complete.

Here with some images taken of the construction process..

This is all so far. But an interesting teaser is coming up.. stay tuned!

It's looking pretty good so far I guess. I really want to see more than a lift hill, however.

The unique element is close to on it's way up.

One third of the element is up.

Upper support for the Immelman is up. So are a few more...

Is the layout completed or are you showing pictures that you took along the way? Either way, this looks great!

Lookin great un-ltdcoaster! Looking forward to seeing the POV of this.
