    Swarm VV Woodie

    Well after the recent death of Paarthurnax,


    I have decided to make another woodie. I have about twice as many pieces as I did when I made Paradox and most of those are the pieces I ran out when making Paradox so I should be able to make something pretty cool. I have kept the station from Paarthurnax so this coaster will run two five car trains. Anyways here are some pictures (I will have railings on this coaster I just haven't put then on yet).




    I'm so awesome spelling awesome correctly when addressing my name is an insult.

    Is this going to be a classic layout or a twister layout?

    ^Twister.
    Well it's time for another update. I finished the lift and first drop! I do still have to put on the railings but I'm to lazy. I'm not quite done with the shaping but here are some pictures.







    Also because I haven't posted it on this thread here are two videos of the automation.

    Not too long ago, I was secretly wishing someone would come along and make a really sweet VV coaster with box supports. Not only that, you even went and did some really good automation. This is really awesome, Sam. It looks like a real woodie!

    This totally surpasses my expectations. VV is doing some truly amazing things these days.
    BTW, I'd be okay without the railings

    Thank you and we'll see I mean I want to make it as realistic as possible and I think the railings really add a lot. By the way I really like you winged coaster it's coming a long quite nicely.

    You totally outdid Fireball with a lift and a drop.

    I hate to say this too, but the railings are not needed in my opinion. If you want to add those, then you should also add catwalks too. Otherwise, they are not necessary.

    EDIT: Also, if you haven't already, think and plan a layout. Once planned, follow that layout religiously. It will make the entire build a lot easier.

    EDIT 2: V That was on his first wooden coaster. Paradox.

    Re: Swarm VV Woodie

    I'm confused why is the lift smaller now?

    My layouts constantly change that's just the way I build. It works for me so DON'T JUDGE ME!!!

    Those were just pictures from Paradox to make my point about railings which I still want to put on but I'll wait til the track done and then decide.
