Product Description:

NoLimits is the ultimate roller coaster simulation game that lets you experience authentic roller coaster thrills. Focusing on realism and speed, NoLimits lets you ride real existing coasters, or build a roller coaster to your own specifications. The program reproduces the physical dynamics of a real roller coaster, with its animated objects, dynamic 3D shadows, and detailed rendering of curved 3D surfaces. As you're moving at full speed, plunging down steep hills and taking sharp turns, your eyes and your stomach will both appreciate the photo-realistic quality and intense speed of the simulation. NoLimits lets you choose your seat, car, and train on the fly. You can even use your mouse to look around as you race around the track, and view the simulation from a variety of perspectives. NoLimits' comprehensive roller coaster editor lets you use a wire-frame display and standard computer-assisted design (CAD) techniques to build your own roller coaster. You assemble track, supporting structures, and other objects by dragging and dropping them. All editing is done by clicking and dragging, and slider bars let you easily change your perspective. It's easy to zoom in and out, and view your work in progress. The intuitive interface lets you quickly add track, change the shape of the roller coaster, add supporting structure and scenery, and change colors. There are thirteen different track styles to choose from, including inverted tracks, hyper-coasters and wooden coasters. It's easy to make tight turns, add loops and tunnels, and design the rollercoaster of your dreams. From the moment you listen to your train being pulled up the first slope, to the times you fly through loops and turns, NoLimits Rollercoaster Simulation serves up real-time roller coaster excitement. You can create and ride any roller coaster you can dream up. There are no limits!

NoLimits Rollercoaster Simulation ReviewLove it! - Version: 1.72, 4/19/2009 01:30PM PST

I gotta add my rave for this software. There are dozens (hundreds) of different coasters; the setup will let you configure it for almost any machine and graphic card (although the faster the better, of course) and it's just plain fun. The experience is more realistic than you'd expect, sitting at your desk. One of my favorites.

NoLimits Rollercoaster Simulation ReviewA fun ride! - Version: 1.6, 2/7/2007 10:10PM PST

Next best thing to riding - and certainly no waiting in line! The graphics are excellent and convincing on my G5 dual 2.3 with ATI 1900. Can run the settings maxed out for almost all of the tracks and get 50+FPS. Tried a bit of coaster construction, and while not totally inutuitive, got a small track running without too much trouble.

If you're a coaster fan, highly recommended. For an impulse fun buy, it might seem a bit expensive, but only by $5 or $10 - its solid and well done.

NoLimits Rollercoaster Simulation ReviewNo Limits 1.6 is half price for previous version owners - Version: 1.6, 1/28/2007 04:10PM PST

I just received information from the No Limits developer on how to access the 1.6 NL version for Mac for those who have purchased previous versions. This is NOT a free upgrade, although previous version owners do get half price. You can download the Mac version for the half price at:
http://www.nolimitscoaster.com/Order/Order16mac/order16mac.html

Downloaded this today and it works flawlessly on my dual 1.25 G4. If you like coasters, or like the sensation of a simulated coaster, this is the best by far. Oh, and of course you can design your own, but there are 1000's of great coasters you can download that other people designed. The download comes with plenty of tracks of all styles of coasters such as wooden, steel, inverted, launchers, flying, spinning. It's all there. These guys have developed a rock solid app here. Give it a try! You won't regret it!
