Lagoon Resort Creator: smm2010 Track Name: Lagoon Resort Map Name: Forge World Gametype Supported: Race Description: Lagoon Resort is my newest, and probably my most innovative and creative racetrack on Reach so far, with the entire budget spent to forge this great creation. For a while, I wanted to create a racetrack in the Lagoon/Cave area, although I was blank on ideas of how to create the track. The fact that a skytrack would be the worst type of track to build in this area, so I decided to create a tournament track with some outstanding and beautiful scenery. The track has a monstrous one minute and thirty-two-second lap time. To add a small bonus to that, the entire flat surface of the track is partially underwater to enhance more competition with more sliding around; it's high enough to enable high speeds with your mongoose while still kicking up water, but not too low to the point of driving like a 90-year-old on the freeway. Come vacation here if you love to relax, race, or sightsee. Enough of the talk, let's go on to what you are mainly looking for in this thread: screenshots!

I wanted to create a racetrack in the Lagoon/Cave area, although I was blank on ideas of how to create the track. The fact that a skytrack would be the worst type of track to build in this area, so I decided to create a tournament track with some outstanding and beautiful scenery. How long did it take you to create this track? Around 10 hours or so in a 5-day time-frame. What aspect of the track took you the longest to make? The turn after the jump. I flipped my mongoose in that area a few times after the jump, and my mongoose went into the small out-of-bounds area and blew up my mongoose. That area has now been fixed though. NOTE: The final version of this track has been published as of 11/14/10, so if you do not have the final version, then: Download Here
Very awesome post, everything was easy to read and there was enough pictures to give me a good overview of the map. I raced a couple times with my friends at it was awesome!
Dude... those 3rd and 4th pics... Those rocks look like mini volcanoes!! That's frickin' wicked!! Seems like a very original track, with the most wicked aesthetics I've ever seen on any race track. 5/5. DESERVES FEATURE.
Looks awesome, I like the condensed layout which keeps everything tight and competitive. Can't wait to try it out tonight!
