I have persevered and am managing to make something of the new version of Rolling Thunder. This is the version without the building. It should be a much smaller file.
The underground bit is still the same. I removed the building from around the two above ground coasters, but wasn't able to provide supports for all of the tracks and I wanted to do that is I didn't like it with tracks floating in the sky.
In the end I rearranged one small section of track and added two smaller, mostly open, buildings to accommodate the many levels of track stacked on various levels.
It isn't finished yet - but this is a WIP picture.
I'll try to get back to it on the weekend some time.

I'm totally over building roller coasters
I consider myself to be an awesome builder in Sims 2 and 3 - I already have an idea for a rollercoaster, but I look at your pics in this thread and think I don't know that I have the patience to do something like this!
I am still hounded by CAST as I started Sims 3 in 2011, so it's still consuming my build time, eg; builds don't go quite as fast as they once did! I could whip things up in 2 fast, Sims 3 an hour goes by and I'm still picking stones and tiles. LOL
Hey conclue. You start at the beginning and keep going til you get to the end. You have the challenge of working with the tools you are given so be prepared to amend your ideas to fit what is possible.
The roller coaster you quoted above could not be built without an extreme knowledge of spacial concepts. Or do what I did. I made a 5 story building as big as possible on a 64x64 lot and put the roller coaster into it. Then I deleted the building. There are a huge number of challenges to overcome. It is glorious to click on the starting track and get the 'This track is valid' message. It took me more than a week to build the original inside the building. Then it's been a couple of days fixing it up since then. That's why I'm over roller coaster building. But I have a few to play with now and they are fun to play with.
Hi! I'll admit the pictures of all the coasters are very good but Karritz, yours definitely takes the prize...wow. Glad it's you that built it, I wouldn't have had the patience. That's the kind of coaster that a sim would have to pack a lumch to finish riding.
Here's my little contribution. It's a desert themed roller coaster I built in LP, my favorite world, with the theme of Wonder, after all, it is the desert.

The thing is that when I was doing it I didn't realise how long a ride it was because it was all covered by the building. I got a bit of a surprise when I removed the building to see what was in there. I did wonder why it was taking so long to do though.
There are two rides there and one is longer than the other. I forget which is which though.
They all look like fun. I think I've got enough now to keep my sims happy.
I wonder what the next big build thing will be? I hope I don't decide to do four of whatever that is.
I'll add your new coaster to the original post when I get home and can do it easily on my computer. I can't see much of it on my phone but it looks good so far. They are all fun.

This is actually my second coaster, my first is just a small one I built in Riverview. I was proud of this as it has a swimming pool running under it. Oddly enough, the smaller one attracts more sims, probably because of the pool.
All the roller coasters' pics are fantastic...the spooky ones are really awesome and have much more detail. Very nice job everyone! :-)
In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.

Wow, Karritz! That is going to be the ultimate Roller Coaster! Having crafted two of my own, I have an idea of just how much work you've put into it already! Can't wait for the final result!

It's a shame as I only had my mobile phone to look at them before - now I'm home I have my computer and they've gone

I would never steal anything.
Their back now.
that's sad clp, sad you had to buy the pro version too
Yea I agree. Someone is always wanting your money. I bought the 29.95 per year one on my credit card.
Glad my pics are back though. A couple of minutes ago they were gone and it said look who's popular stealing bandwith.
I have a few new ones of the under ground roller coaster and a fairy I've had for a while. She's and interesting character too.
She was very happy and stopped being a ghost when she got back to an above ground level

Let me know when you can see the above pictures.
I just see them now. I had to shut my session down and log in again as plug ins were crashing. It was really slow. It is all good at the moment.

Makes me think of Roy D Mercer who says I'll have to pack a lunch. :P
