Try this. [URL="http://badnitrus.coasterpagecannotbedisplayed.net/"]http://badnitrus.coasterpagecannotbedisplayed.net/[/URL]

Click on Models, Choose coaster, then click on Layout (middle icon below picture).

That didn't work... Just try searching "Badnitrus Productions" under a search engine.

RCDB has at least one full layout picture for almost every coaster I've looked at on there.

You're not even going to get close to recreating a ride with RCT.

You'd be surprised how accurate it's possible to be.

With RCT? RCT cant recreate very well, several certain g's, twists, turns, angles, drops, and inversions simply cant be done with RCT.You could get the track relatively close due to restrictions, like %65. But it cannot be done with RCT. So unless you know of a blocky, grid based, 90 and 45 degree turns only coaster yo wont be able to recreate very well. Look on the brightside, you could make a wild mouse recreation with RCT!

You can recreate it sort of - but the track comes in pre-built sections, and what you want is often right in between them. Also you can't build much at all diagonally - most elements can only be built parallel or perpendicular to board edges. For real accuracy, use NoLimits, not that I ever have. The learning curve is huge. No instrucions. RCT3 has the 1 advantage that it's easy to use.

On the topic. Are there any other sites that have layouts or blueprints for coasters? I am trying to a recreation of Volcano: The Blast coaster in NL but am having trouble finding the layout. Any help is appreciated.
