The wife found this little free demo and I love it. I'm actually thinking of buying the full simulator to test my designing skills.

They had these at Epcot Centre in DisneyWorld whe I was about 10.

Much fun, when you were younger I think your imagination takes hold..

Are you now twelve?

This simulator is a lot better than I can remember as a kid, you can look around using the mouse and I particularly like the sound effects of the motor at the top of the pull up.

tis one of my.. errr... more extreme coasters.

the first loop - the figure of 8 is based on a concept by the great coaster designer Anton Schwarzkopf (RIP) i have a photo somewhere of a model for a ride he had been commissioned for just before he died with the same element.

Can any one help with this?

I have an NVIDIA GForce4 MX440 Graphics Card in this computer, but the demo is saying no 3D Hardware accelerator found - can this be right?


I love rollercoasters, and had a great game on the old Dreamcast which was similar to this, but much simpler by the looks of it.

Apparently these are the specs:

GeForce4 MX 440SE 128mb

Any suggestions very gratefully received.
