- The Silver Lantern Mine is one of the region's most successful mining operations... that is... if it were still the late 1800's. The mine ran dry and has ceased operations and sat silent for over a century. Despite the mine being the testing ground for many groundbreaking mining innovations, its life of prosperity has since passed. That is, until a local businessman purchased the land hoping to make a quick buck from salvaging and scrapping any materials of value left in the mine. However, a new business venture came to mind: convert the old machinery and structures into a mining themed amusement park. The centerpeice of this attraction would be the "Iron Horse" roller coaster. This thrilling experience was made by converting the mine's experimental rapid ore transport system into something that could be enjoyed by the public.

Misc. Project Info:
This coaster was very heavily inspired by Six Flags St. Louis's Boss. After reading an article that stated that Six Flags's St. Louis had originally created Boss with the intention of being a competitor of Kings Island's Beast, I had the idea of creating a Boss like coaster that actually beats Beast's signature world record, track length. Obviously, it also beats Beast's main stats other than capacity.
Most of the theming, station, queue, railings, and fencing are all made from support beams.

Please note that this will be a multi-phase project. Expect some additions, expansions, and revisions / remakes in the future :)
imagine an rmc

I love the similarities to THE BOSS on this! RIP to Boss’s helix. Not sure what the park was thinking.
Very nice, probably one of the better CCIs that have been made, and the environment feels super realistic
This layout is actually pretty good. Has decent airtime and laterals, and most of all looks like something cci would make. Can’t wait to see the RMC version of it, keep up the great work.
As usual a fantastic coaster. This is one of my favorite layouts I’ve ever seen. Really long, superb pacing, great sequencing. Always a pleasure when you upload.
I appreciate the kind words! Thanks!
This guy is so underrated! Cmon guys show some love
I like the landscaping
This is stellar. I see many attributes of CCI's real creations; the speed section at the bottom of the drop (Boss), and the alternating turns at the end with airtime pops (Legend), just to name a few. Custom station looks awesome, cables around the helix are dope, everything really. I also like the holding brake in the pre-lift haha, did you add that so you could roll trains/how many trains can this run? Beautiful ride. In the words of a sign at Knoebels, REAL COASTERS ARE MADE OF WOOD. Cheers
Extremely reminiscent of the Boss at SF St Louis. Good job!
Very much has some of the Boss features. I love it
I was about to say the same thing. Actually this seems like a cross between The Boss and Shivering Timbers.
I love how it feels a lot like cci like the straight track through the woods or the large turn arounds. A lot of coasters I see today are like cci hyper or whatever and they don’t really seem like cci.
Amazing!!!
Solid coaster!
Last mega helix reminds me of The Legend! Love it
Nice! The scenery and custom station were great touches, but for whatever reason above all, I really liked the stone tunnel. It felt like a natural faux-real scenery item with the stone facade and concrete lining. I will have to use this technique in the future
This would be great fun when it was new & smooth. Decades later everyone would be chanting "RMC it!" all the time.
Well, that's where you bring in GCI to Titan Track it up.
I wish I had this skill
Would love to actually ride this
Solid Layout!
Final Boss. :0
WOW
This sounds like and rides like The Beast @ K.I.
freaking epic
this thing would be legendary irl
I feel like the turns, banking, and hills should be "blended" with the previous section a little bit better. It's very clear when a turn starts and ends, and it would have a better sense of flow with slightly softer transitions/beginnings and ends of each element. Great track though!
That’s just the nature of CCI coasters. They’re very geometric and don’t really blend geometry unless it’s to make a parabolic element such as an airtime hill. However I do agree that I could’ve extended the transitions a bit more to make them less jarring in game. Many thanks for the constructive feedback!
Now you should kinda try to RMC this layout
The thumbnail looks like Son of Beast
Imagine the maintenance cost
Seems like there’s an unnecessary amount of brakes at the end
Yeah its probably my longest brake run to date lol. I mainly made it that long to give enough room for all 3 trains to stack, but still keep the final brake run free. That... and well it looked a little shorter in FVD...
how can I get the headrests?
You used FVD didn't you? Also second that comment saying that it's one of their favorite layouts. I don't really see a lot of wooden coasters in NL2 that don't look computer-aided in any way.
Yup. I primarily use FVD++. I won't say I only use it since one of my next projects is hand built, but for most of the stuff I do in NL2, it's really only achievable through FVD. CCI's super simple geometric shaping is a prime example of this.
Please don't change the speed.
Should I download this game if I'm an enthusiast
Well, would you enjoy designing coasters from a technical perspective? If so, then it's absolutely worth it. But if you're wanting something that's easy to build coaster with such as Planet Coaster or any of the Roller Coaster Tycoon games, I would recommend those over NL2. The nolimits 2 website does have a free demo version if you're interested in trying it out before paying for it.
@@j-coasters I wanna be a roller coaster designer when I grow up, and I'm wanting something more challenging than planet coaster
@@Keelansvoboda Then it's absolutely something you should check out.
