Designer, In Game or Trainer???

I was wondering what most people use to create the rollercoasters that they upload here. Are they created in the roller coaster desginer then imported then have scenery added? Or are they made in real games, or with the use of trainers? I really enjoy seeing all the new coasters that get uploaded from day to day and was just wondering how most of them are created.

I start in the designer and then theme the ride in a workbench downloaded from Coasterbuzz Games. Unless I plan on wrapping some track around a major structure besides the station, then I simply build the whole thing in the workbench or a game.

Another big question is Station or Track 1st? I usually place my station(s), brake run, and lift, then build my station house. I finish the track and adjust to improve ratings before any more themeing is added.

I used a "workbench" - I've created two or three 100 x 100 maps with a goal of building 10 coasters. It's a nice little loophole that lets you build with no worries. I've included a different mix of theming with each scenario. I just load one of those and have a nice big map where I'm free to build however I want at my own pace.

I am pretty much on board with Lord Gonchar just said. Just to add to that, I make sure that the settings for weather for the workbench are hot and dry so it rarely rains or anything and I make the workbench something other than grass so it doenst look like total crap after 6 months when the whole thing needs to be mowed.

Lord Gonchar, just a suggestion, I think many of the users on coasterbuzz games would love to use those workbenches. Maybe you could upload them to the site?

Thanks, I'll check it out after the new year, when I get home to my own computer. I'm sure others will find it useful too.
