I proudly present the first collaboration between myself and prolific track creator PH1LThy31, a race based on the long lost city of Atlantis!*
This track was a lot of fun to make as we both have similar styles of track making, so our thoughts and ideas flowed consistently well to create what we believe is an extremely fun track that's suitable for all experience levels.
* Published under PH1LThy31's profile *
Also... NO tilted props were used in the creation of this track! ![]()
The start, right by the side of an opulent bath house. Drift around this initial hairpin and prepare to entered the cave concealing the city.
These fires are still burning bright, so somebody must be at home. Grab an item pod as you zoom inside.
Zip down this first straightaway, avoiding poles as you go and drift around this first bend, making sure to wave to the cheering monkeys who watch you from the amphitheater steps. As you exit the corner, hang left for a jump into some item pods, or stay right to get a boost of speed instead.
Take the next hairpin then come back down running parallel to the last bit of track towards the final hairpin for some more item pods, or take the cheeky shortcut through the gap just before instead.
David vs Goliath is todays big fight at the colosseum, but you'll be too busy choosing whether to go left or right around the arena to pay much attention to this epic smackdown!
Upon leaving the colosseum you have three choices; Either continue to follow the main path, avoiding modbots and triggering switches to release barrels for those trailing you, or take one of two alternate routes through the cities aquaduct system.
The pipe on the right takes you on the longer route, allowing you a jump across the lagoon and a good view of the cities stunning surroundings. The route on the left is the inside line and takes you through a major pipe network instead.
Take the inside line and you'll exit by this novelty fountain. Take the longer route and you'll come out at the following corner instead. If you're taking the main route then remember to beware of modbots and barrels aplenty!
Eventually you'll end up on this final stretch, drifting by this exquisite ancient temple complex. As you exit, hang left to pick up boost supplies, but mind those flames now!
As you speed down the final section past the bath house, be on the lookout for barriers opening to your right. These are triggered when a higher placed racer passes by, giving those trailing a fighting chance of keeping up with the elites.
And there we have it, one lap complete of PH1LThy31 and atheistsw's 'Atlantis Rising'.
Well, we both hope you enjoy this, the first of what may become many regular collaborations between the two of us. As always, comments and feedback are very much appreciated. ![]()
See you on the track!

Amazing.
Although I must say, it looks more Rome than Atlantis.
But the water Tec, the water...
Hmm, wasn't Atlantis an ancient lost Roman city? Or was it Greek? Anyway, nobody has ever seen it for real so it can be whatever we want it to be, lol. ![]()

Nah, I mean it looks too much like Rome, circus Maximus ect. i see in that, Atlantis is supposed to be teaming with wildlife and mythical scientific markings. ![]()

Are you REALLY arguing about a place that no one has seen before?I could claim it was full of pixies, unicorns and chocolate mountains, and It would have just as much evidence for and against it as any other ideas...

Anyway atheist and Ph1lty, this track is a blast to race around AND looks beautiful.One of my favourites for both of you creators!
