**STORY (Don't worry, you can scroll past this, it won't hurt my feelings)**
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Several weeks ago, King Nefarian recovered a powerful magical artifact from the depths of a Timewraith's tomb. Ever since he brought the artifact back to the castle, hes been changing--losing his touch on reality. Well, that was until two days ago when he took the artifact up to the ruined cathedral behind the castle. Apparently, the artifact was actually a Chronogom--a relic that can open rifts in time; portals that one can use to travel from one time to another. Upon learning this, the King used the Chronogom to open a rift and has been missing ever since. The rift also allows the King to manipulate the anima mundi--the world soul--and change the behavior of matter itself.
"The problem here is that as soon as the rift opened, our would began to just... freeze. Literally freeze. It's the beginning of summer, the flowers are in bloom, and we have snow falling from the clouds and water so cold it could kill you.
"Chronogom rifts are known to be wildly unstable, deteriorating away the world in which they are opened. We need to close this rift, and quickly. Unfortunately, only the King, the wielder of the Chronogom, is able to close the rift. So we needed to devise a new plan...
"We need YOU to use the rift to travel into the past one week, to before the King opened the rift. Then, while altering as little of the past as possible, you must break into the castle and STEAL the Chronogom from deep within the dungeons. Take it and hide it somewhere the King can never find it [ominous music here, could there be a sequel? Oo who knows??].
"Though beware, for if the King is jumping through time too, he may try to stop you... and he's quite fond of wildfire.
"Alright, it's time. Head up to the ruins behind the castle. Our royal commander will meet you there and brief you on your mission."

**LAYOUT**
-----------------------
For this roller coaster, I decided to go all out and create a small cinematic film that tells the story behind the coaster. The story is an integral part of the coaster's composition, so I think having the backstory is important and improves the coaster experience.
The layout is designed to both tell a story throughout its duration (thus the dark ride portion), while still being an incredibly intense, high-thrill terrain coaster. One of the restraints I gave myself when designing the ride and its scenery was not to allow the coaster to be openly exposed very often. You'll notice the track is almost always only a few feet off of the ground, or off of a scenery object. I wanted the coaster to be difficult to spot and to meld into its surroundings. The coaster's layout is broken into four distinct parts:
1. Sneaking Into the City & Castle
2. The Castle Interior
3. The Chase
4. The Finale
The ride itself is of a custom manufacturer.

I agree with that on every point! And I see it on Christmas ... Thank you for this gift and Merry Christmas! :-)
Kickstarter for $5 billion?

6 Years later this is still by far the best nolimits Video I've ever seen
This is absolutely incredible. I can even imagine how much time it must have taken to model all this stuff
Every single time: Play this video once a month, headphones volume max, full screen. Let yourself emerce in this world! Awsome!
same!
GOOD GOD that is incredible! You manage to surpass yourself every single time with these things. Definitely deserving of the top spot, and one could even make a good argument for calling this the all-time best project in NL! Kudos!
after years, youtube decided to recommend it again, and still the passion that went into it is mind-blowing. Plus from the elements the coaster really doesn't feel like it's already 6-8 years old. Thanks for showcasing what is possible, hope you enjoyed building as much as people do watching
Never knew the light of the seven would fit something so perfectly like this. Wow. I'm stunned. Sell this to a VR company!
I actually am in talks with that ;D Well not exactly that. And right?? I was hesitant to use light of the seven since it's such a powerful song, but I think it came out alright.
If I was bill gates, I would build this. But knowing that I will most likely never ride this, makes me want to cry.
The scenery looks like a fully fleshed out video game map that just happens to have a coaster in it. Should be fun to explore. This makes Gaia seem like a vanilla coaster on flat terrain with little to no scenery.
Yeah Its really cool to explore on foot I think. I designed it to be like a RPG where the whole city is walkable and you can get lost discovering things and whatnot.
the fact that this video has under 20k views is the biggest insult ever.
well, I guess we gotta wait like 5 years until youtube starts recommending this.
An entire story line hooked to a roller coaster ride! I've died and gone to heaven. Strathmore did not disappoint with its storyline to how the coaster moves within it. The coaster ride itself was most excellent with twists and turns and drops. The ins and outs of the castle rooms to moving outside and back in. Perfect when this is nothing like a traditional coaster in that manner.
yeah if this actually existed it'd easily be the best ride ever made
*the roller coaster industry has left the chat*
Fantastic, the first winner for a special roundup I can completely get behind. Stunning storytelling and visuals, and on a scale never before seen in nl2. Congratulations!
COASTERGUY246 Sorry but Paragon isn’t my favorite anymore... :/
The upside down church had me shook. And the stall was amazing. The scenery is outstanding, this is one of the best coasters I’ve ever seen. Absolutely beautiful.
Literally the most amazing thing I've ever seen out of NoLimits 1 or 2.
I have no words beside... Congratulations, you deserve it!
How does this channel only have 1K subs? This is criminally underappreciated
Between this and Mr. Magnussen two years ago, you have created two of the very best creations this community has ever seen. Great work man!
Someone has to build your creation in reallife.
Awesome cinematic!
Oh my god. Best ride i have ever seen. In nl2. In real life. Ever. Wow
This video deserves 100 million views. Wow. Every time people talk about how no limits can’t do scenery, I show them this video to shut them up.
Absolutely blown away, what a cinematic and well thought out experience!
When you get goosebumbs from a youtube video. I listen to all kinds of soundtracks, but you picked every song from the GOT soundtrack for the right part. All i can say: Well done sir
Holy guacamole, that is unbelievably incredibly outstanding!!! With such elaborate theming, this looks like something that would only be possible in Planet Coaster, yet you did this all in NL2! Simply amazing, you have earned my subscription with this creation, truly one of the best NL2 coasters I have ever seen! Well done, you should be proud of this beautiful roller coaster you've crafted!!!
What the actual fuck! That's Art right there! Speachles!
Have. Ever seen the show but this was fucking incredible. Brilliant work.
the cinematography... is so incredible; i am absolutely impressed. i loved it, my grace
REPLY
THANKS BB!!!!!!
This is what No Limits was designed for. Wow!
This is a lot better than i thought it was going to be. For being 2 years old this need way more views!
Come on Universal, next to the Harry Potter universe, place this hell of a baby. Dayuhm.
I will sue you because you stole my ability to speech.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY GOOD!
Well done.
this is legendary
Can't even imagine the amount of time this guy spent scripting and building Sketchup models.
I.. AM… SHOOK…….. The level of insanity one has to have to posess this amount of creativity is just beyond me. I cannot even adequately put into words my appreciation for something like this. Cheerio, my friend. You’ve done well. I didn’t think anyone could surpass the Alien Rollercoaster I saw on UA-cam but I have to say this may have very well passed that expectation. Geez Louise, what a fantastic job! I believe Universal Studios is hiring!
This is a work of art. Amazing.
I really have absolutely nothing to say. This project is just so amazing and incredible and just...wow. I can't even imagine how much tedious effort went into this. Phantasia land should either buy this coaster or hire you, since they like to go big on scenery and rides. This is again just astonishing. So captivating. Bravo.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best Nolimits I've seen. Great work!
This is literally the most sick coaster I’ve *ever seen!*
The layout is really good, not outstanding, but it’s really good, and I’ve never seen theming like this anywhere before! That’s the outstanding part. 100/10, would definitely watch again
(And I’d love to see this built irl)
Wow that’s one of the most well themed coasters I’ve ever seen in NL 2 good job 👍
When I saw the crazy vision stuff, I literally stared in awe. This is insane.
welp guess i can confirm mr. b is a god
Wow the sound effects were awsome
Simply Amazing! just WOW
Dude.
I literally started clapping after the POV, truly amazing!
All right let's get them to build it for real this thing would make a fortune
I'd love to see a Harry Potter Battle of Hogwarts coaster
I can't even believe someone's capable of creating this. I've been using NoLimits since the very beginning and this is, without a doubt, the best simulation ever. Congratulations!
you deserve more viewers man...
Incredible. Everything is absolutely on point
Wow omg that was magical I am blown away
No words, amazing. So beautiful
Wow!
Amazing! Wow. I’ve played no limits for around 10 years so I can appreciate the amount of time that went into this. Truly amazing! Subbed for sure!
maverick roll hype
HIGHFASHIONIMPORTSDOTCOM THANK YOUUU
My dude this is incredible
You deserve way more viewers 🤩😵
Cool coaster not often you get to see a coaster this good. Nice job dude
What in the ACTUAL FUCK??? DUDE this is insane!
Amazing
HOW JUST HOW! this looks so great!
Incredible!
time to change my pants
same
WOW-WEE! ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN!
This is sooooo good the detail on the scenery is ridiculous- I guess you built the track first- was it difficult to get the scenery around the track
Coasterfan3657 thank you! Building the scenery around the track was pretty easy since i exported a model of the track to work with in Sketchup :)
NOW THIS.
Absolutely insane. Loved every second of it. The story was great and well established, the layout was great (maybe a tad long in the second to last part) with lots of amazing element sequences and scenery interaction and yeah, the scenery.. wow. The dark ride part was unbelievable. Video editing, too was great, only the very end of the POV was a tiny bit awkward for me with the music not really sounding like it's over. But yeah, basically about the best NL2 thing ever :D
Yup by the end of the video I was so sick of it that I was like "ugh im just gunna fade out..." LOL
:D
Oh my god, this coaster is dude !! 😍😍
WOA that boost!
How beautiful is this?! - Thanks! :)
Very impressive !!
It is so Amazing! I love the video and the ride seem so cool!
Man, this is just amazing!
This is perfection.
Great job, man! Please do a Game of Thrones themed version of Dueling Dragons next!
I love your work!
Dude this is far to good, how long did it took you? The Build is amazing, the way how you present it is awesome and the Musik choice is a 10/10. I'm totally blown away
WoW ! incredible!!
It's a bit like Kärnan, Taron, Curse of Novgorod and Mystery Castle together
This is absolutely incredible! But, how did you get the cool sweeping shots at the end? If it was the in game camera script, how did you make the speed vary?
Awesome job! Really like the theming!
This is amazing!!
Woooow travail fantastique
WOW!
CRAZY !
Can we make a kickstarter or gofundme for this?
Hey @disney! Looking for something to counter the new Harry Potter coaster?
I’m quaking
I'm hard and I know this guy personally
W. O. W. !!!
lol! thay need too build this park i bet it will take 10 billion plus
That is sooo awesome.
One can see how mich sofort you put in Making that.
Did you First build the Coaster or first the world?
I created the coaster first, though I had a pretty clear vision of how I wanted everything to lay out.
This is absolutely incredible, are you going to upload it to Steam?
Thank you! and hopefully yes, but it needs a lot of optimizations and finishing touches before it's ready.
Yeah you crazy
just fucking wow.
How
hello, great job for this circuit I love, I wanted to know where can you download it?
cordially
