Turmoil NL2
Turmoil was a giant wooden coaster I made 10 years ago with NL1. I have imported the ride to NL2 and given it an upgrade. Turmoil NL2 is all about speed and airtime. Standing 200 feet tall, it is technically a wooden hyper coaster, reaching a top speed of 73 mph. It has a good mix of ejector and floater airtime along the over 6,000 feet of track. The ride also features a 540 degree helix and a custom station with a fly-through element after the mcbr. I have retained those elements in this NL2 version, and used the tools in NL2 to better smooth the track and improved the transitions between elements. Adjusting the 540 degree helix was difficult, and there is still a fair amount of pumping through it. However, I was most concerned with getting the G-forces in check. In the original, the vertical g's spiked beyond 5 and the lateral g's spiked to 2.5. Ouch!
As always, I hand-built this ride, not using any 3rd party tools like Newton, AHG, FVD, etc. The only tools used are the track smoothing options available in NL2.
Please rate and comment (constructive comments only) and, of course, Enjoy!
NOTE: This package contains just Turmoil NL2. The screenshot (prieview) is from my 2018 Park, where all of the coasters I make have gone - for videos and screenshots. The rides themselves are available for individual download, and I will make the whole park available at the end of the year. This package has Turmoil NL2 and its original NL1 terrain - with an NL2 upgrade.

It's not perfect, but it is a bit more sane. My goal was to make this ride without using any tools. This is the best I've learned how to do while building by hand.
