The structure on this is so dense that it looks more like a woodie than a steel hyper.

The big coaster contest will challenge you to build a hyper coaster. Your coaster must feature a drop of at least 4 gray rods. Your coaster must also use a traditional chain lift. No launches, and no inversions allowed. And to add a touch of realism, your hyper coaster must include a minimum of 4 block sections (including station, lift, brakes, etc.). It's important to note that these block sections do not need to be automated, or even work, but at least four must be present.
Hmmm...

Is there anything that says you can't enter a woodie, as long as the other requirements are met? For the turnaround, I've always adored this element. Tho it looks really difficult to shape.
I like that element too.
Nope, no rule against it. Someone asked and The Stig replied:
Yes. Go on with your hyper woodie.

Update time! (You didn't think I cancelled it did you?)
So, after a week long vacation, and my sister graduation party, I get to build. (YAY!) I added a lame 180º turn. The other one was too hard. The supports aren't finalized, especially those under the MCBR. I've built my first MCBR and it was harder than I expected it to be. I had to raise the first red gears and remove the middle tubing, and it worked. I think I'll have to do more reshaping and lubing as this coaster has fallen over and gotten squashed, strechted, and dropped numerous time. I've also included a test video. Enjoy. (Come on, more comment more on this than Grommit's )
Why yes, I still use the SCC motor setup when I feel lazy.

So I added two bunny hills, followed by a banked turn. But I sorta copied IOAgeek's base for his turn into an inclined BR, so if he doesn't want me to use it, I won't. I also supported the MCBR more, as well as adding a platform. I used an old broken flex so they would fit better.
IOAgeek's to compare. (Is mine too similar?)

It reminds me of an "older build" and the airhills make me think of one of my first coasters Phoenix. Yeah, maybe the steepness of the airhills are unrealistic, but who cares? I think they look great.
