Welcome to
GANJA
The Ultimate Weed Experience.
(c) Hansixx, 2005
Ride thru 10 stunning inversions (a few of them quite a bit unique) and after your ride, enjoy the relaxing athmosphere in the station area. There is quite a lot to see, to buy and to pluck ;)
This coaster is quite heavy on textures, so I recommend you to have not too many applications running (in order to save memory) while riding this coaster. Together with the track vertice count of more than 1600 this is the reason why it takes quite some time to load in the sim.
Credits and special acknowledements:
Buster: For making me build this coaster in the first place, for help with the supports, for exporting the transfer track to 3ds and for general advice
rtgexr: He made the terratextures as well as the two special foliage textures.
most of the textures were taken from bernieboys photorealistic texture pack
Rockstar Games (Sprunk ad was taken from a GTA:SA screenie, the KJAH ad was taken from a side with the "official San Andreas Iogos" and modded a bit. I recreated the Pizza Stack texture myself, for the inspration on the LoGGer ad) and for making the greatest game of the world.
and... finally: that cheapass who retrieved this ride from rct-world and uploaded it here as his creation. That way he provided me with a trackpage file when i didnt have it available on my HD
DISCLAIMER:
Please take note that this coaster was built in 2004/2005. Thus, :
the 3ds tunnels which i did back then, do not match the current NL tunnel model.
the cartexture mapping as well as the whole floorless coaster model has changed as well. Unfortunately the current mapping doesnt allow stripes of any kind at the big colored base plane of the cars. So i didnt redo the cartexture, instead i recolored some of the trains.
This was built with 2004/2005 technique. FVD/Newton were far from being thought out back then.
This was a pure fantasy design with high speeds and intense forces - and thus quite HUGE. It does not reflect the way i build a coaster today. My current design principles are rather compactness and efficiency. Some more recent designs of me are included as showcase tracks in the NL 1.7 update.

THE BAD - I really don't like hitting trees! You could be cut up pretty badly from this ride in real life. The coasters elements were too extended and long.
THE GOOD - It was smooth and the scenery was nice until it hit your face. =) The support work was good as well.

The track is pretty smooth and it has a fair variety of features but it seemed like it couldn't make up it's mind as to what kind of coaster it was supposed to be. The supports looked fairly adequate for the design. The building of the kiosks and their signage was done well.
The adrenaline level was okay, not great. Too much of it seemed too predictable.
While the theme idea was fairly original, it didn't actually have that much to do with the actual ride itself. The theme got overplayed in the buildup and in the kiosks that surround the ride entrance.

T: A smooth ride, great work, quality of this ride is superb.
A: Very intense, various elements, probably one of the most intense coasters I have downloaded.
O: Great theme and matching 'logos' and 'colours' to go along with it. Next time go with a different theme for more realism but well done. Great Coaster.

This coaster is WAYY more fun than its ahem theme =D. The layout is just thrilling and paced so well, pretty amazing. Extremely smooth. Very unique inversion combos.
My favorite elements:
The initial drop portion into the corkscrew. The transitions are so smooth yet exciting.
The absolutely brilliant launch that has you guessing where the track is going to run at all times. It thrills at a psychological level. Your brain tries to grasp the sensory overload of supports and portions of track flying by and tries to determine where the track will lead.
The tunneled corkscrew, again a sensory overload for the mind.
But really the entire ride excels and at nearly 10000 ft is paced so well.
This ride has the distinction for this reviewer as being the only ride I can ride over-and-over again in the NL simulator and still get a thrill EVERY time.

Wow... What a fantastically strange ride! Who knew weed could make such a pleasent theme. I really was impressed with this ride dude. Never has there been a ride quite like it!
T: Well there were little track twitches here and there but the trackwork was generally done well for the time it was made. Great supporting, some flirting with high g-forces, and aside from the haliariously hugeness of this ride, I think this coaster was perfectly possible to create.
A: Well this is pretty obvious. How can you not have fun on this ride. It has literally everything you would want. Inversions, Speed, Airtime... This was a very well rounded ride.
O: How can I say that a weed themed ride isn't original? The 3ds were pleasently fitting, and I loved the layout. I really did not know what to expect next in this ride.
Dude this ride was INSANE! haha It just a flat out "new" and fun ride experience. Awesome job man!

'Interesting' theme and the ride is quite out there. Quite a long ride and very enjoyable from start to finish. Some good use of landscape in places which the ride races its way through twisting and weaving everywhere. Great sense of speed throughout and very smooth all the way. Has a bit of everything all of which is done well.

impresionante el trabajo de 3d's! le aporta un realismo impresionante al recorrido.
para mi gusto es excesivamente intensa, lo cual la hace poco realista, como coaster de ficcion es un autentico 10. Impresionante para un simulador.
EXCELENTE TRABAJO!

Wow... This was really incredible.
T- Beautiful support structure and track work. Didn't really notice any bumping or jerking. I did notice some yellow G's in one of those high speed drops. That was the only criticism I would have.
A-Awesome layout and pacing of the inversions. You really used the landscape to your advantage, and the track really hugged the land. That really helped make the ride all the more exciting.
O-Loved the theme, and you obviously created some unique inversions here. This is one great coaster!
Keep em coming!

It is okay. Good job at keeping it smooth. I think the track itself was not too original and Ive seen many like it. But I have not seen a drug-themed ride yet. Stupid theme, but original theme. I think it has great potential.

T: You could have played around more with how the track throws the riders around. There were points around the airtime hills that just felt too much like they were the exact same thing moment to moment.
A: The forces would definatly send the adrenaline up, thus why I gave it what I did. Though the smoothness of the ride gives it a technical boost, it sends the adrenaline plumeting. I liken this to S: uf at SFoG, it starts out great but fizzels at the end due to how everything feels the same throughout and doesn't throw the rider around a bit.
Org: Well, I have to say I haven't seen this kind of design before. Though there is this feeling throughout the ride like I've been there before. What I do like is this whole idea of pinning the rider to the track. It's just like when you're stoned... you're pinned to that seat. So I bumped the Org. up a good bit for this. Great plot!

A - Sure it is pretty radical, great acceleration, tunnels perfect, although the route will ever be boring.

Nice coaster. Everything is well detailed, the track is very smooth and the lay out is very original. I like the loop and the cobra roll, with their colors!! There's only one thing i would change, and that's the speed. You're going too hard in some parts of the coaster... :( But it's okay.

I remember this ride from a few years back when I first encountered NLCS. What a crazy cool ride. I do not care how old or the lack of this or that, you did one heck of a job that I cannot find anything to critisize you for. I am sure by now you design beauties betond this one. Not to mention the price is right when it comes to concessions!

I'm assuming you aren't trying to make a realistic B&M, so I'm not going to criticize on that.
And there aren't any points I can really make to help improve the ride. It's actually very good!
So keep in mind that this is sort of a "pat on the back". Good job.

First off, I want to say that I laughed multiple times throughout the riding of this. Second, I want to say that the trackwork was extremely good given you did not have access to FVDs or Newton, though by todays standards, it deserves about a 7 or 7.5. Third, I loved the scenery and the subtle (and often not-so-subtle) placement of jokes. I agree with whoever said that simply by riding this, you miss half of the experience. The tunnels you made with the fog looked extremely realistic, though I personally think the colors should have been bright and trippy; it would have adhered to the theme a bit more. And, before I say my next thing, I should point out that I have consumed NO weed today: but I still saw the weed in the clouds :-)

A: a couple of those inversions hit really well speed was great and there was a good number of twists and turns a very heart pumping ride
O:an original theme idea and a good colour scheme on the inversions, but the rest of the ride was really generic

T - Bump-free ride + smooth transitions = great technical achievement.
A - I wish this was a real coaster. The post-station drop down the hill is exciting leading into the intense launch / inversion combo.
O - The Ganja fan in me loves your ride. Inspired theme and awesome environment 3D's complement the fun coaster. Good job.

A: it is very good. I loved the misty tunnels, the inversions, the surprises, the way it was never the same, and how it all mixed together witht he fast pace of the ride. Riding in the back could be a bit extreme as the forces are overly high there.

Great ride. Tech was very solid, supports were nothing too original but very appropriate. The layout and interaction with terrain is where this coaster really shines and gets most of its adrenaline points. And I don't think I've seen anything similar to the layout before...ever. Glad to see there are still good builders thinking outside of the box.

I had to ride this 3 times before i could even find one error.
T - You have already heard all the nice things i can say, so ill skip to the points. Coming out of the second tunnel, as you go into the corkscrew it seems to have a little bump there. (making my ratinng 9.9) all of the supports look the same (9.8) and in some places you have oever supported (9.7).
A - Perfect.
O - Perfect.
Just fix those little pointers and i seriously believe this beats the godly "Gaia".

BT The track was incredibly smooth for back then and the supports were beautiful. I loved all of the weed to smoke and pick. The shops were very good for smokers of weed. The tunnels were fantastic to fly through. A The rides was a nonstop adrenline rush. I loved the high sweeping inversions and the sea serpent roll. The beginning of the ride packed a punch before you even get to the launch. O I have never seen such a ride themed so well to weed and other types of smokes. The layout is amazingly fresh for today and was very much for back then.

T: It's very smooth for being built in 04/05. The forces stayed in the reasonable range.
A: The adrenaline was especially high in the section after the first MCBR. The speed was carried very well throughout the whole ride, however, I think you may have taken the loop and seaserpent slightly too fast.
O: I found the pot theme highly amusing. The spine (casing) for the loops was done very well.

T - It's really smooth, very good made. But there's some supports really simple, but stil good. Good job at all.
A - Very fast, Nice tunnels and invertions! That's great!
O - Never seen this theme, lol one. And Really cool that colors on the invertions.
Observation: IF you keep the ride working, the trais will pass the whole track lots of times, and then the blocks don't works so weel as before, the trains get there and need to wait some time, and the most of times they start again with a low speed, making the next train wait more, and passing the whole track slow. Just a tip: Try to make the friction wheels speed the same as the car is getting there, so, if it stops, it will star again, kinda launching, but in the same speed as before.

Before I begin a few comments... It's annoying when people upload old rides and mention it in the comments. It doesn't make the ride any better. For many it's an excuse for not doing the work to update the ride.
WOW! A very well done ride! I liked your tunnels very much! The ride overall is smooth and exciting, with a few unique surprises!
T - The track work is very good in smoothness and relevance to the elements. The G's go into the yellow several times. There is usually some lateral G's almost always present. It seems the riders in the back of the train were forgotten about. The back has the most extreme G's with 5.1 Vertical G's. The starting section has nice whipping forces ranging from -.7 to 1.0 lateral G's in under 1 second. While this is considered in allowable range it is not pleasant in real life. The track seems optimized for front riders only. The supports worked for me. Though to improve many of the higher supports could use larger tubes and support in more than 2 dimensions. The e-stop also fails if stopped during launch, resulting in a stranded train or a crash into another train. For areas to improve upon there were some "flat spots" where the G's let up a little, and turns where the bank angle adjusts in the middle of the turn. I would have given you a much higher score if it was not for the crash and the overly high G's.
A - This ride is a blast! I loved the misty tunnels, the inversions, the surprises, the way it was never the same, and how it all mixed together witht he fast pace of the ride. Riding in the back could be a bit extreme as the forces are overly high there.
O - I felt you did an excellent job making this ride original with many of the track elements, and not just scenery.
P.S. Much of the added texture content off ride I did not find appropriate. There's no reason to include it. Just be glad your rating only reflected the coaster.

Bong giorno! One of the top 5 tracks of all time! Just about perfect!
T - brilliant. Smooth as silk, incredible forces, great speed throughout, excellent inversions, beautiful support work, great layout.
A - from the winding exit from the station to the final brake, this thing does not let up keeping you guessing what is happening. You keep thinking its got to slow down, but it doesn't. It just seems to keep getting faster.
O - Ok I could go on forever here. There are so many great things happening. On the ride itself: the lead into the launch; the tunnel and terrain use; the inversions into drops; the airtime; the rainbow colored inversions; the mass of metal in the middle of the ride; the inversion in the tunnel, etc. Off ride is just as good: the “plants”; the plaza entry; the ride warning sign (MCBR – love it); the Bush billboard; the incredible prices of the food and shops; the trash cans, etc.
Jsut riding this track is missing half the experience, so get off and look around!

The extended drops after the corkscrews are awesome. The coaster lay-out is versatile and some pretty cool accelerations dring the ride. The tree or plant hitting during the ride are the minor i can think off. Overall a big Thumbs up!
