Hello, guys.

There were some confusion but as a latecomer, I participate in the DAI3 contest with it.

It's name is Lyndvior!
Lyndvior is a B&M inverted coaster located on the small island in the Mediterranean Sea and has many interesting elements such as batwing, barrel roll, loop, helix turn.

I don't know whether you think this is a bit short. But Lyndvior will be fun enough to not regret.

I hope you enjoy it even though there is something lacking.

And now Let me show you the video and screenshots.

Overview



















Thanks for coming !

Those buildings are beautiful, and the coaster and surroundings are amazing!

P.S. What does REL stand for in the title?

Released chima

Very nice coaster ! The on-ride does feel a bit too fast, but it remains surprisingly smooth and intense.

Your architecture is stunning and never dull. Cornices, variations of shapes and textures, diagonals and straight pieces, columns... Lyndvior's buildings have it all, and aren't too tall for a theme park. I like in particular the spikes you've used on the top of some buildings.

The pathwork is very neat as well, with elegant curvy path borders, and a flawless use of L33's Alpha textures.

Your mountain terraforming is quite impressive. I think you've matched the right compromise between foolishly spiky peaks and overusing the flat terrain option. Considering RCT3's fairly awful terraforming tools, it is an achievement in itself ! You also patiently mix terrain textures for a smooth, natural feel - sand, rough grass, snow and rocks blend in a manner which is neither too random nor too simple. The only (major) trouble with the whole landscape is, in my opinion, that instead of building a terrain coaster, you've put steep hills around the otherwise flat coaster. As such, the train isn't hugging the ground to provide nice interactions. A relatively flat coaster isn't necessarily a problem (Katun, Pyrenees and Expedition Ge Force are good examples of excellent non-terrain rides), but since you display such amazing terraforming skills, I feel it is a bit of a waste not to use terrain to enhance your layout. Phantom's Revenge and Helix, for instance, would be great examples of clever blending between coaster and landscape.


Having said that, it is nonetheless a fantastic design and I wish you good luck for the DAI3 ! My entry should come soon as well

Cheers,
