I have built several coasters in the style of OL:FOF, Joker's Jinx, Poltergeist, etc. They really aren't too hard to build and usually get some pretty good ratings. I have seen some of these coasters online where the builder used the "launched shuttle mode". I don't do that. I like the capacity of being able to run multiple trains. I still use "continuous circuit mode", but right out of the station I line up about 15 booster sections pumped up to max speed (58mph?) to get the coaster into the "bowl".

Clever use of boosters. And if you think about it, that *IS* what rides like Joker's Jinx are using.

Yeah, ever one of my steel twister dueking coasters are like that, and so are my wooden twister duelers.
I just built a cool one today. I'm playing Nevermore Park where you have to have 10 different coasters at least 4593 feet long with a 7.0 or greater excitement. I decided to try a double-spaghetti coaster. It worked. It launches out of the station on a line of boosters set a 67 mph and heads into the first "bowl" which includes 4 inversions. It leaves the first bowl and hits a line of boosters set at 40 mph running parallel to the station, and then enters the second "bowl", which also includes 4 inversions. 8 inversions. Nearly 5200 feet long.

Well as I am working on the Magic Quarters Scenario (dont laugh, I just got CF w/ LL) I am turning the park into a 'mega park' based on the Piers Anthony "Incarnations of Immortality" series of fantasy book. Anyway, after reading this thread, I decided that a spaghetti bowl coaster would go great with the Fate book "With a Tangled Skein". The coaster is called 'Tangled Skien'. I havent finshed themeing it yet but it is a 7+ exc. coaster as it stands.
Thanks 1badgmc for the booster idea. I have the boosters in a tunnel just like on SFA's JJ.
