This is an exclusive version of my track made in Modnation Racers (now already in the thirteenth place most raced tracks). I tried to keep the main challenges of the original version and have added other fun things like the haunted house, a large slide and much more. I have added all these fun challenges using the great potential of LBPK. This detailed level was made in over two hundred hours of work and has popped the thermometer. I hope you enjoy this exciting race and any suggestions or feedback is welcome. Below are some pictures.

Sergio, this track is absolutely gorgeous, the propwork, the decorations, the rides, everything looks absolutely magnificent. It would be one of my favourite tracks ever BUT... (you know what's coming) Yes, those darn bounce pads! Now, I get you're trying to re-create the MNR track, but the fact of the matter is the bounce pads on LBPK don't work the same way. On MNR you could push forward on the left stick and you would move forward in mid-air but on here the flight is completely random! Last night I even managed to bounce BACKWARDS into the water at the side! Now, my friend jmg summed up the experience of this section best when he said "when I'm bouncing around there's a real absence of fun", which is completely true. The rest of the track is so great that this section sticks out like a sore thumb, as I replied rather bluntly to his retort "yes, it's like putting a turd on the Mona Lisa!" I implore you to rework this section to just a couple of jump pads instead, it will make it sooooooo much better. The other section which isn't so severe but still pretty bad IMO is the water slide. Now, I realise the water slide props on MNR worked this way but let's face it that was the most broken DLC pack EVER. LBPK gives you the opportunity to improve and here's what I suggest you can do to make it better; Make a thin sheet of material the length and width of the slide. Place it at an angle roughly correspondent to the descent so that the karts can drive down it. Change the material type to forcefield then place a physics tweaker on it and adjust the 'friction' setting to a lower value. Now what should happen is players will speed almost uncontrollably down the slide in a much more realistic fashion but because they're on forcefield (invisible) the illusion will still be that they're speeding down a water slide instead! This will result in a lot smoother and more enjoyable race experience! I hope you see sense to chnage these elements as I cannot stress enough how good the rest of the track is, really, it's just currently two shades shy of a masterpiece.

Thank you for your honest feedback atheistsw. I will work on both sections of the track and think how to improve each of these sections. I've also received the suggestion to add music, so I'll buy ice to cool the thermometer and try to improve these aspects. The bounce pads section is equal to that created in MNR track, jump on the pads is not random, you can always go that section without falling into the water. The first megajump determines the direction (forward), the height of this jump determines the angle of landing on the pads, the vertical angle is small and therefore you are forced to jump over several pads before leaving this section (3 , 4 or even 5 pads). It's a challenge. Weapons make it more interesting when you compete with other players. The only condition to be met to avoid falling into the water is that every time you land on a pad your kart should be facing forward. Another player can push you and make you fall in the water (that may be fun), but often depends on your quickness to recover your position. The main concept in this section is a challenge, you can score big points with spins and using weapons. Now, I know what I have explained is just my point of view, I know that the player can perceive the situation differently and may think that is not fun, but the truth is that I never have explained this concept in my MNR track, and yet it is one of the tracks of ModNation that has given me more credits. The credits are not important, of course, the important thing is that I have received many comments about how much fun is that track. For that reason I decided to make a version for LBPK. I will try to improve the weaknesses of this track, exploiting the potential of lbpk, maybe give you a surprise.

That's cool man, I understand your reluctance to change something you like and feel others do too, I didn't find the bounce pads half as irritating in MNR version as I do on this one though.... As for recovering budget, a very good tip is to take all of your objects (especially trees, benches etc) and UNGROUP them. You'll be amazed how much budget this can recover...

I must say the pictures look really good I'm glad that there still are some good creators on LBPK, because I think a lot of them left (at least I left, so I don't know what's going on ) I might give it a try, but I'm not sure because I haven't played LBPK for 4 months

Wow man, this looks amazing. It definitely justifies my purchase of this game off of glyde. Now I wait for the package to arrive at my doorstep.

Thanks for your comments I've changed some section of this track, now the race is more flowed and smooth. I've added music to the race too. I'm very grateful for the feedback of my friends. Special thanks to atheistsw for the suggestions and tips.
