There is a new very good roller coaster simulation in developement, looks like a NoLimits with more features and better simulation:

At least I dont call a vertical loop a "loopdie-loop"!
It looks like Pantera is at it again, and at least this time they are trying to do it right. Remember Roller Coaster Designer? That was the worst waste of my money ever.

It may have much more freedom to build than those horrible "3D Rollercoaster Designer" budget games of years past... but I seriously doubt it will get even near the quality of No Limits... because they'd have to do a MAJOR overhaul on the current game right now judging by those screen shots!
Ability to weld, shape, and resize any beam in the support structure.

This looks like a really cool game!

It's his turn to feast, when you ride the Son of Beast.
I am just waiting for the next Rollercoaster Tycoon myself. I can still sit and play Loopy Landscapes for hours, and lose track of a day in the process. I like being able to add other rides, and theming. I am hoping they make the new one similar except that you can ride your rides in a 3-D and more flat rides, Scenery, etc.
With B&M being the most mainstream kind of coaster that everyone likes... I have this feeling that coaster type will NOT show up in this "game".
All they show is the stereotypical Arrow looking coaster track, and it's probably going to just have 3 types like it always does (Arrow, Vekoma inverted, and generic wooden).
Lighting doesn't look at all realistic (it just looks like it's darker on one side), the station house in the dark is not using any lighting effects from the hanging lights from above. Also during the day, shadows & real-time lighting on the trains are non-existant or poorly done.
Honestly, it doesn't look all that impressive.

Honestly, they say on the site they are going to release more screen shots. Honestly, I would just wait and see before assuming all of that.

If the shoe fits, find another one.
I'd have to strongly disagree with you DawgByte II. I don't see why you feel that tracks such as B&M won't be included. They do go as far as mentioning that at this point they already have, among other types of coasters, stand up coasters. Now, I really do doubt that they have gone with TOGO stand up coasters. And when you say it's probably going to have 3 types as it always does... What exactly do you mean? It just makes sense that a new Simulator, with the competition that is currently out there, is going to do as much as possible to compete, and in this case, it means having the most options, and being the most realistic. No Limits, as well as Scream Machines seem to have no problem incorporating all the popular track styles.
To be honest, this simulator looks to have unbelievable potential in my opinion. I'll definetely be following it's progress as close or even closer than I followed No Limits, after seeing how much No Limits lived up to and fully exceeded my expectations. Then again, I used to be a strong believer in Scream Machines, but after their most recent demo... I'm not so sure anymore about that one anymore .
*Edit - As additional proof of the existance of B&M in this game, check out the meshes... ;) You will see non other than a B&M inverted train... Not to mention what looks like a Giovanola Hyper train, and an Intamin Inverted train.

DawgByte,
If you look in the 'meshes' link, you can see that one of the designs looks almost identical to that of a B&M inverted coach, as well as a Intamin inverted coach below that.
Personally, I am happy with No Limits and will probably wait until I read some reviews before looking into purchasing this new simulator, but I think it looks pretty good.

A Vekoma SLC would do Nebraska wonders! :-)
Pretty much all roller coaster editors to date have used "control points" per say, to build track. That is simply where one segment ends and the next begins... The difference is how track is actually shaped, and how the control points are utilized. Hyper Rails is said to use a spline based editor, as opposed to No Limits, which uses bezier curves.
