On April 21, 1981 The worlds first Arrow Dynamics Roller Coasters Suspended Roller Coaster model opened at Kings Island as the Bat. In the years that followed a rumor started floating around that one of these models would be installed at Lagoon Amusement Park, over the lagoon. Over the years from 1981 to 1993, 10 models of the coaster type were installed but never one at Lagoon. In 2002, Arrow Dynamics sadly went bankrupt with their assets being bought up by S&S - Sansei Technologies. Out of the 10 of these built only 5 remain operating today. I have ridden two of these and they are a fun experience, but not a WOW lets ride again type of experience. So since one will never be installed at Lagoon. I decided to use my roller coaster design program (Nolimits Coaster Simulation) and my Lagoon 3D digital recreation to create what I think one would have looked like. These types of coasters are restricted in what they can do being the carriers swing back and forth based on g-forces. Please enjoy your virtual ride on Tesemini: The Spirit of the Lake.
Although, it does make for a good basis for a NL contest. Therefore, I started a NL contest over Lagoon Fans Forum (https://lagoonfans.com/nl2-competition-t6170-s20.html#p87725) on this topic. No prizes, just a fun contest to see what a suspended coaster over the lagoon would look like.
This is my first time designing an Arrow Suspended and there isnt much that can be done with them besides swooping drops and turns. I tried to keeping as realistic to how Arrow would have designed it combine with my own ideas for a custom coaster. I hope you enjoy it.

The Wooden Monster is a roller coaster I came up with to be a background object in another video project. I only spent a couple hours on it, so its not my greatest creation ever but I liked it enough I thought Id show it off here.")

My latest coaster video is here. This is of Colossus: The Fire Dragon at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah, my home park.
I love Colossus. I love riding it, I love operating it, at least when I worked at Lagoon 20 years ago. Its such a good ride. Its a classic! I am glad Lagoon has this in their collection.
I created a recreation of it before when I was first getting started in No Limits Roller Coaster Simulator. Back then it was NL1 and my skills weren’t great. But in addition in NL1 it was difficult to make a glass smooth coaster or an accurate recreation. Click on this link to watch the first version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH0kOPtp0CQ
In the years since, I have toyed with the idea of recreating the coaster again now with my better skills and the great improvements from the NL team in NL2 but put it off for many years. Well, I decided to do it and part of the decision was that it was that I would go all out on the detail department. I committed to making all the custom scenery and I created all of it.
One detail I wanted was the headlights that ran on the ride but have been removed. I thought it was a cool effect. On the real ride the way they worked was by a generator connected to the road wheels. When they go to full speed the lights powered on and when they slowed down the lights turned off. This required a custom script to be created to get them to turn on and off correctly. I meddled with it for a bit but eventually I had to call in some help. Two users on the No Limits Central Forums had a hand in helping me. The first was the user known as BestDani for sharing his attachment script to attach the headlights to the trains and 2nd and the most helpful was the user known as MrRC. He put in the time into making the script work perfectly. I couldn’t have completed this bit of detail with out his help.
I hope you enjoy this recreation as much as I did making it. Please like, share and Subscribe for more great content.

![Wicked Remixed at Lagoon [No Limits 2]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hkCwYPl6YXM/hqdefault.jpg "Wicked Remixed at Lagoon [No Limits 2]
For a recent design contest called Remixed, which is currently in the judging stages. The contest was to take an existing coaster, past present or future (has to have been announced by a park) and make it better but while still being able to tell what ride it was based on. I decided being Lagoon is my home park and that I have wanted to do this for years, I decided to make Wicked: Remixed! The first half of Wicked I think is a stellar ride and did not need much improvement if at all. So on the first half I edited the airtime hill at the bottom of the first drop to be slightly larger to give more ejector airtime. Then the Mid-Course Brake Run (MCBR) I raised by 10 feet to help the second half be as fast paced as the first half. I made the second half start by dropping into a tunnel, using the same tunnel type, as Wicked has, to keep as true to the real ride as possible. Shooting out of the tunnel the car takes a hairpin turn and drops into a trench passing close to some shipping containers as Wicked’s theme is industrial and I kept that just added to it. Out of the trench, the car is immediately thrown through a barrel roll. Upon exiting the barrel, roll into a high-speed helix and sliding into the Reduction Brake Run. I feel that this is a much better seconded half than the two half pipe turns and wave turn on Wicked. It is realistic to have a coaster be changed like this, but there still is cost and to help keep the realism as close as possible to this happening I did not want to go crazy on track length. Therefore, I gave myself a 15-foot extension boundary on top of the 2050 feet that Wicked has. I ended up only adding 1 foot of track length bringing the track length 2051 feet for Wicked: Remixed!
Therefore, without further ado I present Wicked and Wicked: Remixed! I hope you enjoy them. Please leave comments on YouTube or on our Forum. I will be doing more Remixed coasters but if you have one you would like to see let me know in the comments. Thanks.")
![Cannibal at Lagoon: Remixed [NO LIMITS 2]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/j7oalthA16c/hqdefault.jpg "Cannibal at Lagoon: Remixed [NO LIMITS 2]
Hey guys, I have finally gotten to making a remix of Cannibal. After Remixing Wicked at Lagoon in 2016. I knew my next one would be Cannibal. However, I did not anticipate it being 4 years down the road. Hopefully, my next Remixed coaster wont be so far down the road.
So this remix was much harder than Wicked, Wicked has a boring 2nd half so it was easy to redo it. Cannibal has a strong layout and so it was hard to change that. I tried several versions of keeping the Lagoon Roll in the ride but it just didnt fit and so it was eliminated, which was a hard thing to do. I hope you all enjoy Cannibal: Remixed!
If you have a coaster you would like to see remixed, let me know and it might just happen. These do take sometime as I make a full recreation of the original ride in NL first. So expect a Cannibal Recreation real soon, I hope!
New Ride Stats:
Track Length: 3,060 feet
Height: Unchanged at 208 feet
Inversions: The ride would not feature 8 instead of 4.
Top Speed: Unchanged still remains at 70 mph.")

The Prospector: Simon Bamberger
Here is a tale about a sleepy little town named Rattlesnake Junction (Pioneer Village).
Rattlesnake Junction is a sleepy little pioneer village located on the confluence of the Rattlesnake River and Little Rattlesnake Creek was settled in 1847 by Mormon Pioneers looking for a peaceful life in the Rocky Mountains.
The village was a local economic powerhouse offering all the services the local population required. It had a village CO-OP, a pony express stop, a black smith, shoe repair, hardware store, carriage repair and the log flume direct fed lumber mill, only one like it in Utah.
By 1860, the local Lumber mill installed Utah’s first Log Flume to feed the supply of wood it required to fulfill orders. It was an extremely successful operation, that is until the railroad came to town. The railroads brought in lumber at a much cheaper price and quickly put the Lumber Mill out of business and land was quickly put up for sale.
The Lumber Mill sat for many months abandoned and falling apart before a buyer bought up the lumber mill. Nobody in the community knew who the buyer was and had hopes that their beloved local lumber mill would be restored.
However, the buyer just happened to be the one who had contributed to the lumber mills going under Mr. Simon Bamberger himself, it was his railroad that came to Rattlesnake Junction. Simon had made his fortune from a silver mining operation in Central Utah a few years before and was now investing that fortune in the search for gold.
There had long been a story told around the village that there was gold in them hills and Simon wanted it. Gold deposits get eroded over time by rivers and creeks and as it does it washes down and will collect along current and former creek beds. Simon had been prospecting along the creek and found a good deposit where the Lumber Mill was, which is when he bought the property. He quickly demolished the lumber mill and built new buildings under the Bamberger Mining Co. name.
Simon was not satisfied with finding just small deposits, he wanted to find what miners refer to as the “Glory Hole” or the source of the gold deposits. In order to find it with much haste Simon is calling upon you to come try his new “gravity railroad” on a gold rush through the hills of Rattlesnake Junction looking for the“Glory Hole.”
Coming in 2025 to Lagoon Amusement Park, The Prospector, a brand new wooden roller coaster that winds its way through the hills of Pioneer Village in the search of the elusive “Glory Hole.”
