Wicked Twister


Wicked Twister

PLEASE TAKE NOTE!

THIS RIDE WAS BUILT TO REPRESENT THE FIRST 2 MONTHS IT OPERATED AT FULL STRENGTH AND BEFORE THEY ADDED THE SUPPORTS TO THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE!! THIS IS A RECREATION OF THE RIDE AS IT OPENED - PLEASE RATE AS SUCH!!

This was a joint project some years ago. Pkigoer approached me and was struggling with the track of Wicked Twister which appears really simple and is but can present its own issues. Heartlining vertical spikes isnt most peoples ideas of fun.

So we agreed that I would do the track and he would do the rest. Without the accuracy of the track the 3ds is wasted but without the 3ds the track is wasted as well. This was one of the better joint projects (if not the best) Ive ever worked on. Him and I created an Xcelerator a long time ago (roles reveresed...I did the 3ds) but this is IMO one of the better recreations of any ride out there. Great attention to detail by him and the track came out really, really good.

Enjoy your ride on Wicked Twister at Cedar Point, Americas Rockin Roller Coast. Ride on!

T- The coaster did not meet the full 72 Mph like the Real Wicked Twister does but the form in the twists and supports were Amazing. A- Like I said in T, did not go the full 72 Mph but still, The 3d Objects and track was Awesome. O- Very good coaster over all especially with the 3ds and the Attempt of Lake Erie. xD Great Job!

Wow, this coaster is amazing.

Al the objects made it just like the real one. The track was very smooth and the supports were nice. The que-line was also fantastic. Well done!

Amazing recreation and i JUST got Track Packager a view days ago and i was so happy and the first ride I wanted download out of 1,000 was this one.Great re-creation dude,just like the real thing!

I loved this coaster!!

T: Awesome supports, g's in check and it was very smooth!

A: I don't like shuttles very much but this one was pretty interesting!

O: Very original, best shuttle I've ever seen.

Great job!

Wow, this looks really good. It's perfectly smooth, and you can't come any closer of riding Wicked Twister in real life than this. Excellent job!

Wow. Just wow. Perfect recreation, everything is amazing. The supports, accuracy, and 3D objects look amazing and crisp. Incredible job!

T - Very good coaster the g-forces are all o.k and the scenery is perfect.

A - A little bit boring, itsn't my kind of ride

O - Very similar to the original, congartulations

When I was downloading this coaster I was wondering if you included Lake Erie. And there it was. Lake Erie. You have everything there in your simulation that's at Cedar Point except those sea gulls. Gotta love those birds.

This track made me think I was at Cedar Point. Great Job!!!

I would have to say that this is an excellent recreation. I have visited Cedar Point before, and this is very accurate. It feels just like Wicked Twister in real life. Very smooth and the scenery is simply amazing.

A spot of recreation of the Wicked Twister not much more to say than that really. The custom scenery is high quality and spot on and so is the track. Although theres only a short amount of it it is as it should be and is very smooth. Good fun speeding through the station. A great recreation and well worth the ride.

Very good remake, GREAT job on the scenery.

T:As I said, GREAT job on scenery and the track has no bumps or jerks. I rode the actual ride and this is perfect.

A: Seemed exactly like the real thing.

O: Even though this is a real coaster, it is the best WT remake around. Period.

T: Tolle technik...die fahrt ist wie beim original. Die Sttzen sind perfekt und alles sieht so aus wie beim original A: macht super spaß, ich bin das echte teil zwar noch nicht gefahren aber ich finds toll7 O: was soll ich hier sagen...ist halt genau wie das original

T: Die Technik ist gut, außer das Notaus, denn da gingen bei mir die Sicherheitsbügel auf.

A: Es macht ziemlich viel Spaß sie zu fahren.

O: Die Bahn ist wie das Original. Ein sehr guter Nachbau!

Wow, what an amazing recreation...

T- The trackwork and the supports are very impressive and spot on. The track was heartlined beautifully and i didnt see any pumping or jerks. Great job!

A-Seemed just like the real thing to me.

O- This is where I give you the highest points. You obviously did a tremendous amount of work in theming this ride. Your 3d's couldnt get much better. It was really fun flying through the landscape to look at all of the work you did.

This was a fantastic track!

I give 9's for this ride.

T: Spectacular work! Not too much else to say because it is the same thing back and forth, but it was executed quite well, and I couldn't catch any flaws. Nice work!

A: It's Wicked Twister, it's pretty wicked.

O: Well, it was pretty much WT, put onto a USB drive, and put into my computer. Everything was about spot on. Nice work.

Great job with this one!

T: Amazingly realistic, there isn't a feature you didn't miss with the 3ds! The in-game Wicked Twister has red gs, but your's doesn't at all!

A: Wooh! I never ever come off this ride without being giddy! So this coaster scores high on adrenaline!

O: Technically, since this is a real coaster, you wouldn't score high on this unless no-one else had tried to perfectly recreate this coaster, and since I haven't seen anyone try to do that, you scored high on it!

Great job!

This coaster is one of the better recreations I have ever seen. With all the 3ds I can tell you take a lot of pride in your work. Without ever riding the coaster I can tell how well of an experience the ride is.

T: no pumps at, and no supporthits. A: it always go faster and faster, and it never slowed down:p Ac: it's just like the real thing, i really love it that you spended so much time on making the 3Ds just like real.

Wow! This is a brilliant re-creation, never been able to ride the original but everything about this coaster makes it stand out!

The 3ds and the amount of detail and time invested on the coaster make it one of my favourites so far!!

I never have rode a coaster of this kind (or this coaster)yet, because I'm form germany, so I will rate from my "youtube" experience. T: Works great, very smooth and stop if I push the emergency stop button. A: I think that is a real adrenalin machine. O: From the look of "youtube" videos it's a great clone.

Very nicely done, yet simple coaster.

T - A little high on the g's as already mentioned.

A - A fun ride but nothing extremely exciting

O - Never seen the real thing, but I like all the little details on this one

Overall, I think an excellent job.

T - Acceleration is a little weak, but the route is very similar.

A - Wicked twister is pretty radical, but with the low speed it has had menas adrenaline.

O - As this re-creation is almost identical, I will give you a good note here.

Congratulations!

Almost perfect recreation.

t: the only thing I didn't like was the yellow spike on the second forward launch. while they may be tolerable I'm a perfectionist and believe most rides if built in no limits would have g forces in all green.

a: I give it a 9 based on my experiences riding the real coaster.

o: Just like you said in the description: the track and the scenery are both necessary and compliment each other very well. I am interested to know how long it took to put the scenery together since I haven't made any objects myself. It looks exactly like the real ride, from the lockers to the flags to the queue to the station.

Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated.

Great ride overall.

T: Found that a couple of the launches had bit too much g-force (went into the yellows) but wonderfully smooth overall

A: This is just me, I don't find this type of ride that scary, and you could have speeded it up to the way the launch is now, but very good.

O: Almost perfect recreation, loved all the little things that bring the ride together. Well done I look forward to seeing more of your work.

The level of detail here is amazing. Looks exactly like the real thing. Some of the launches did seem a little slow but the ride itself was good it isn't the most intense ride but still, best recreation i have seen.

A+ for detail. A couple things here and there are out of proportion like the station size, but it is far better than anything else I've seen.

Due to restraints in the game the ride itself isn't the best it could be unfortunately. Wicked Twister just doesn't seem right without the loud screeching LIM motors. The first and last launch seem slower and don't seem to go as high up as the actual ride does.

Track vraiment bien realisé, avec une bonne heartline. Les objets 3ds sont bien réels, ainsi que la station. Le track dans l'ensssemble est donc bien realisé, la zone du track aussi ! Bravos à toi pour cette recreation.

This was a great Recreation. I felt as if I was walking the midways of the Point. You scenery was very well done and executed.

Technical - Awesome job in this category, the track was very well put together. I know the vertical spikes aren't the easiest to recreate but you did a phenomenal job.

Adrenaline - Always great on this coaster. I will still only ride in row 15 seat 1. My favorite. It felt as if I was there.

Accuracy - Again, with the amount of scenery this looks just like being in the midway. I feel like the only thing missing is the Disaster Transport building and Giant Wheel.

Overall Great job and keep them coming :)

This was the best wicked twister recreation i have ever seen. The detail you put into this ride is fanomanal!

T: Very good, a little jerks on the first vertical tower but that wont hurt your score. You got the speed part just right so i'm going to give you a 9.5 here!

A: I have ridden this ride and you got it almost dead on! Felt just like the actual ride. Although the ride isn't the most intense ride you still did a very good job in this department! 9.8

O: Nothing that origional since it is a recreation, but you did an awesome job on the scenery and i am going to give you a 9 here.

T: Nicely done! Interesting seeing a ride represented so accurately. I have never been on this ride, but I believe you've done it justice based on other reviews. It is obviously a very difficult coaster to design in NL, and you did an excellent job.

A: An 8 only because it isn't the most exciting ride in the world - can't really hold that against you as it is a recreation of a real coaster.

O: High marks here for taking a difficult ride design and doing an excellent job with it - something not many people can say!

"Técnicamente - casi perfecta, sólo la parada de emergencia no es muy buena y el viaje no se puede reiniciar con éxito. Y el paisaje es fantástico que ha hecho un trabajo fabuloso, desde la ronda de derecho cola hasta el punto de Cedar banderas \r\n\r\n Adrenaline - no es la más emocionante y también bastante corta, sin embargo como una recreación sobre todo exacto! \r\n\r\n originalidad, que ha pegado a la cabalgata real con precisión y llevado a un nuevo nivel de precisión con el lago y todo, la crítica de menor importancia: las texturas un poco limitado!"

Technically - almost perfect just the emergency stop isn't very good and the ride fails to restart successfully. And the Scenery is Fantastic you've done a fabulous job, from the queue right round to the Cedar point flags

Adrenaline - Not the most exiting and also fairly short however as a recreation mostly accurate!

originality -you have stuck to the real ride accurately and taken it to a new level of accuracy with the lake and everything, only minor criticism: textures a bit limited!

As always real, your tracks never disappoint me. This is an amazingly accurate recreation of Wicked Twister.

T: The track rides smooth from begining to end. In any seat, there is not one single pump in the track. The rolls up the two spikes are not easy to accomplish accurately, but I dare say it's the most accurate I've seen for this style in NL. Comparing it to pictures on the web, it's as accurate as it can get.

A: While I feel Wicked Twister isn't that exciting in real life, I don't want to take points away from you since this is a recreation and you have no control over the adrenaline factor.

O: Again, this is a recreation, so I don't wish to take off any points for not being original. The whole point of a rec is to not be original and be able to ride something already created virtually. However, I will say that you went the extra mile with custom supports and lots of 3ds to make me feel like I was standing in front of the real Wicked Twister at CP. So that in itself gives you the full 10 points from me.

Overall, awesome job as usual. I'm not sure if you handbuilt this ride and did AHG or used tools to build, but you continue to be one of the elite builders in NL.

This is one of the best re-creations I have ever seen. The ride itself is not that exciting. While the detail is excellent I felt like the effort could have been put into a more exciting ride.

Wow a incredibly accurate recreation you've got here.

T: Well there isn't a single bad transition or unsmooth point in the track. And some may say it is simple to make a track like this with mostly strait sections and rolls, but the rolls are very difficult to achieve like this in the sim. So on the technical side of rating you get the full 10 points from me.

A: can't rate any good on this criteria. Never been on such a ride but a assume all the forces are the same as in real and it seems lke a great thrilling coaster to me.

O: Perfect detailed, even wires from the transistors to the LIM's awesome. It seemed like I was watching a POV on youtube, really awesome recreation

T: Great! Very well done. But I was wondering if it is just my computer or the placement, but I saw a wire that connected to the LIM sticking through, but that isn't all that bad. Can be fixed! A: Spot on! The only thing off is the speed but as said before, NL isn't perfect. Good job! O: Nothing new from others!

Great job! I would like to see more recreations like this! Extreme attention to detail and realism!

T:Very smooth!

A: Perfect heartline rolls and much airtime!

O:One of the best recreations I've ever seen.Much scenery which makes it look very real.

T: Awesome recreation, there is simply nothing to criticize. A: Just like the original. O: Simply awesome. Incredible details and great objects.

This is one of the best recreations of a ride i have seen in my life. every support, every flag, every peice of scenery was spot on. the one problem was the speed was over 10 MPH too slow. i will not take points off for this because the physics in No Limits are not perfect and adding the speed would just make it fly off the track. Great ride.

Okay, I have to place a perfect on this. i live about a mile from Cedar Point and I can say that this is the most accurate recreation EVER! I still get the same amount of adrenaline from it as the regular and I also love this because this IS orginal because not a lot of people recreate this, let alone make it right. Great job! A+++++

As for the speed, yes it might be off a few miles per hour but I will not take off for that. :-) I can't wait to see more of these from you. You should upload more CP recreations. Maybe the Magnum?

Incredible job on the recreation!

T: Couldn't have been smoother

A: I agree with TwisterII that inverted impulses aren't intense, but that's the real coaster's fault, and not yours

O: The theming was incredible, the track recreation was incredible, but there's one problem. You advertise it as operating at full strength, but in your simulation it only hits 68 mph, and in real life it hits 72 mph. Besides that, everything was incredibly accurate.

The rates are quite self explanatory, I remember downloading Wicked Twister on Coastersims and was gobsmacked by the attention to the detail.

BT : I didn't had the chance to ride it but feel that everything is falling exactly in place, I mean the position of the train after each cycle. I nearly docked a 10th of a point because of the usage of a NoLimits support beam which looks out of place in the editor, obviously what count's is the final result and it's brilliant.

AD : What can I say, your recreation feels visualy like we are sitting on the ride, what can be more achieved on this category while using NoLimits.

OR : Obviously the accuracy is rated here, this is when you look at some minor details that one can see some faults, I doubt that the alimentation cables are going through the rail structure on the real ride, I would have used a reproduction of the rail in 3DS to avoid any collision. It would even have given the possibility to make the cable wrap around and make it more real.

When are we going to have the chance to rate another fantastic ride ?

o: The 3d's were amazing! I felt as if I was standing in the park. You have captured the feel of CP well. Your attention to detail was dead on.

A: Airtime felt good

T: It was a great recreation. The launch felt good, as well as the airtime. The support work, the lighting - I would say this amazing work.

T: Incredible 3ds! The trakc was smooth, good speed, I don't think recreations can get much better than this.

A: Incredible attention to details, great airtime and perfect spirals.

O: As this is a recreation I can't say much...

Wow Wow Wow! Talk about 3DS being so amazing and accurate! This really is the most fantastic recreation as others have said below! You went all out on the accuracy of this ride even to include the Pepsi machines down to signs on the air gates prior to entry into the ride. You created the track very well, and supports were done perfect. Even in the station all the detail that went into it including the wires above the brakes! I am impressed with the fine details as to why i gave this high ratings. Track was really smooth and well done! Good job! hope to see another like this real soon!

Ok, let me just say this is one of the most fantastice recreations I have ever seen in No limits. Top notch everything right here. It deffinately deserves the high scores its getting now.

T: I really didn't see anything wrong in this section. Track was smooth like butter, and the g's for the most part were in check. I know the launch might not be excact but you did a pretty darn good job at gettin it as close as you possibly could. Supports are perfect, Station blew me away. Great work.

A: Well being that this is a recreation, it's hard to score this section but I personally think these coasters are great fun considering the small space they take up. Double spiraling vertical spikes sound fine with me. ;)

O: The thing that blew this thing out of the water I have to say is the 3ds work. Oh my god it was practically perfect! The attention to detail was fantastic and I thought this was a real POV while riding it in the simulator for a couple of seconds. I really couldn't ask for anything more in this section becuase I haven't seen such a realistic ride. Amazing!

T - Smooth as glass. A great recreation that brought back the same feelings I had when actually riding the ride! 3Ds were done great and looks like it took a long time and a lot of patience.

A - A mild ride. Always wish it could of been longer.

O - Although it isn't original, its original on what you have done. It was done beautifully.

Although i have never been to Cedar Point i have seen videos of this ride many times and id have to say its almost creepy how accurate youve got the scenery. The thing that blew my mind was small things, from the WARNING signs on the gates to the Doritos and Pepsi machines in the lines. There was nothing out of place here. The track was great, you could almost feel the train accelerate through the station back and forth. Great job on this!

I love the accuracy of the ride -- from the block texture to the steps up the side of the attraction.

It's VERY difficult to do heartlines anywhere, let alone on a suspension coaster.

The adrenaline is pretty good, even on a shuttle coaster (which I think can be a little boring). Regardless, that's not your fault.

By far one of the best recreations I have ever seen.

3d's were very well done, and the track was very smooth.

T-Nothing wrong from my viewpoint. 10/10

A- Wicked Twister is an intense ride in real life, and I bet yours is just as intense!

O-Again, very realistic (for no limits, that is. Haha! (Let's just say this would be hard to beat if I were to try and make a Wicked Twister recreation. Not planning on doing anything on this degree of coaster recreating!)

I too feel like going to Cedar Point now after seeing this!

T: Probably the best recreation I've seen, it's just pretty much perfect. I think it seems like the train goas a tiny, tiny bit faster after slowing down for the first time in RL, but that's very, very minor.

A: Well, it's a recreation, so i can't really set any other rating, you're not to blame for anything under this category, Intamin is as this is a pretty much perfect recreation.

O: This is a close to perfect, probably the best recreation I've seen!

this was WOW! having been on this ride, i can say that it looks exactly like the real thing. you even got cedar point on the trashcans, the ride operator booth, the sand and water, and everything. pretty amazing. i judged the origionality part as how well you re-created the ride, and you did it perfectly. makes me want to go to cedar point right now!

T - pretty much perfect. Amazing track work here. The only thing missing is the swaying of the verticle spikes (which isn't possible in NL).

A - As a recreation, it did feel like the ride during the first few seasons before the additional supports, etc. The ride never did that much for me Adreline wise, but you seem to have captured the experience very well.

O - great 3Ds work made it even better. The only thing that wasn't spot-on realistic for me, was the water. It should be more brown and muddy than blue and clear. And the lake should definitely be bigger. (Love looking out at the lake on the back spike on the real ride). But those are minor points.

Technical: Everything from track work to the trash cans are perfect. It's an excellent recreation!

Adrenaline: This ride is one of my favorite rides. Front row is amazing, and I really felt it on this version.

Originality: Even though it is a recreation, I've never seen anyone recreate this coaster.

I was really impressed!

AMAZING! you did such a great job and doing this. You never seem to amaze me in your technique and abilities. Everything was just perfect. 3ds's detail was on the verge of insane and your ride was absolutely perfect. the only thing that would of made the look more realistic would be if you could get the track to bend and sway, sadly NL doesn't allow this. AMAZING GREAT JOB

T: The heartlining and tower shaping didn't seem perfectly spot on for some reason. It seems like they should be taller and less "fat". Either way, the detail is miniscule and doesn't really matter, it was just something I noticed.

A: Riding the back seat gives a good depiction of the feel when you get shot up the back tower. Very fun to ride.

Acc/O: Some of the 3d's didn't seem spot on. The main example being the station's safety lanes that seem to be too far from the train. Or maybe I'm not remembering it correctly.

Now for the nitpicky 3ds critique: I would suggest optimization of the objects; that is, delete the polygons and lines that aren't needed when modeling to save up on polygons and speed up framerates. Some of the texture mapping was also poor, but the main part was that too many polygons in places you couldn't see were affecting the framerate. Optimization isn't as big of a deal now since new computers are much more capable with NL, but it's still something to consider. When done as you model, it doesn't really take out extra time either.

Overall, I would say that the 3ds's looked very good and were accurately placed. Details like the wires going around the LIM's and each nut and bolt. But the poor modelling technique added up to a lot of unnecessary polygons which did hit my framerates a bit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not rating for that, it's just something I want to point out. People hardly optimize their scenery anyways to be honest, and they still look decent for the most part.

T: Flawless. I don't know what else to say. Pleased to say you did a much, much better job than I did on the included-with-NL track from back in the day. Track and 3ds are both just about as good as you could ask for. I will note that the yellow parts of the fence in the station are floating... but only because I felt like I needed to find something wrong.

A: Since the track is so spot on I'll just have to rate based on real life. Fun ride, could use a bit more time at full speed. Front row, last car, right seat is a hell of thing though.

O: (Accuracy) I'm not going to photo-compare, but I feel like I don't have to. Great work. Truly one of the best tag-team rides out there.

I have to agree with Gumbo. This has to be one of the best recreations I have ever downloaded! I remember this from CS, but with this download, it seemed much more fun and realistic. Technically speaking, the ride was good and smooth. The shaping of the rolls and twists were very realistic, and the scenery just made the whole experience better. I loved all the little details, (the cords leading to and from the LIM's, the support footers/flanges, realistic textures, ladder/platforms, etc) they really made the ride that much better. I rated the originality section as if it were accuracy, and boy was this accurate!

Good Job!

T: It's very smooth. Nice vertical rolls. The 3ds objects are very detailed. I miss just four piece of support, on top of the vertical supports.

A: The speed is good, the train comes at good height.

O: It is an real coaster, on the originality I can not speak.

Someone once said that "God is in the detail". After downloading this, I agree.

This could be one of the best, if not 'the' best recreation out there. The track is pretty much spot on, the supports were beautifully detailed and the scenery, well, don't get me started on that. My only (and I mean only ) criticism is that the ride itself doesn't really do much but that's just my opinion on the ride rather than your recreation.

I'll reiterate, this could be the best recreation I've seen. The only ride which comes close to it is your own TTD.
