| | | B&M Floorlesses
I'm gonna start releasing collections of recreations of real coasters. This is my first collection, all eight B&M floorless coasters. In the ZIP file are eight track files, and for all of you guys who hate track files, I included a park that has each coaster in it. Remember with these recreations, I was going for a recreation of the layout, not necesarily the speed, height, etc. Well anyway, give me some feedback and enjoy! Includes: - Batman Knight Flight @ Six Flags Worlds of Adventure
- Batman: The Dark Knight @ Six Flags New England
- Impulse Flying Coaster @ Janfusun Fancyworld
- Kraken @ Sea World Orlando
- Medusa @ Six Flags Great Adventure
- Medusa @ Six Flags Marine World
- Superman: Attracion del Acero @ Warner Bros. Movie World Madrid
- Superman Krypton Coaster @ Six Flags Fiesta Texas

| | | Thats a nice collection you got there. Although, in my opinion, it would of been better if you included the actual speed and height instead of just the layout, but still very good. Where the heck did you get the layout for some of those? A couple of them are ones I've never even heard of (obiously Im talking about the forein ones). Also, its kind of funny how much in common all of the B&M floorless coasters have. I noticed that all but 1 or 2 had interlocking corckscrews, and EVERY one has a vertical loop as the first inversion. Anyways, good job! |

| | | Come on people, respond! I'm not going to post the next batch, B&M Speed coasters, until i get 3 responses about the floorlesses. Just so you know, this batch will be composed of all 4 B&M hypercoasters, including the only known recreation of Silver Star. Just two more responses and you'll have your Chariot, your Bull, your Nitro, and your Star.

| | | I'll add a comment or two. And sorry for my review of your coasters, they are coming a little late.
Anyways, here goes.
I loved the layout of all the rides, and liked how you kept them small and no large loops used. But it had it's drawbacks, there was a lack of themeing. I say that next time don't post the track files, just do the recs, and completely theme them (such as the parking lot all along the side of Silver Star) and use large loops if necessary. It would make it look better. And, what would be really cool is if you could use other objects and rides as supports that are actually on the ride.
Hope that helped some, look forward to the steel set. Oh yea, and my favorite of the bunch was definitely Batman: The Dark Knight.

| | | Well, not bad, but a few complaints-
1. Use large loops.
2. Do dive loops and Immelmans like the one on Alpengiest in Polar Peaks.
3. The S:KC layout is a bit off-I know it's hard to replicate, but the drop isn't steep untill it has turned a ful 180 degrees. |

I agree that he should of used large loops, but why the heck would he need to theme them? These are just recreations of the coasters tracks..... you would only theme them if you were making the entire park. Besides, none of these coasters have REAL themeing anyway. |

| | | Sorry guys, but I HATE large loops, that would mean that I would have to build the coaster really big, which I'm not too good at. I'd rather build them all at 55 feet. I'm planning to eventually release themed versions of some of the coasters. These will be the only real ones that have significant landscaping: B:TDK, SKC, Kraken, and Medusa @ SFMW. B&M Speed Coasters will debut as soon as I can get my hands back on the RCT disk, sorry for the wait!
