Those lights that you use to light up the loop add a whole new level of realism to the ride! The station lighting is so eerie too, this could probably win any contest you enter it in!

The station looks like the inside of a Basilisk's stomach
The lights add a whole new element to the ride!
Will the museum's visitors be there late enough to see the lights?

The lights remind me of a night at an amusement park! (That means they're perfect!) I was thinking about doing something like that to my station lights, but I never did.

BTW, that second picture should be in your avatar.

Where is this museum again? I want to come visit.

[finrollercoaste09]

how many storm mountains do you have!? that's awesome ride!

[ickus305]

As promised.
A final video (finally)

[ForgotToGrowUp]

Sweet!

[RollerManiac]

I really like the video!

The only thing I would like to see is some footage of it in the dark. That makes the coaster look so real.

The running light with the EL wire seems to have an odd pattern

Anyway great coaster great flow and well done with the lights. I was wondering if I could have the raw footage and make another video, this is very interesting material to work with!

[ickus305]

Max: The sign has 40 different patterns, some work well with what I created and others look weird. This is just what I had it set on at the time of taping.

RK500: I wanted to have footage in the dark, and also I tried to do some stuff with a fog machine. The camera I was using, simply could not handle dark. As you can see in the video, things are very bright. I had to bring in several extra light sources just so things did not look overly grainy, from the camera's inability to compensate. (I do not own a video camera (my money and time is spent with my DSLR, and single image files), my sister loaned me hers)

That was an awesome coaster to watch be built, and your viewers in the museum are gonna be so excited when they get to see that! Great work on this ride man, since this really deserves a 5 star rating overall.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

This really is incredible, the most realistic looking coaster I've seen in a long time!

Some colour correction and brightness and contrast adjustments can do wonders here

I remember you asking for stuff on automation through a PM. And now you've got one of the best rides here on SSC. Props to you.

Wow, i just went back to the beginning of this thread. It's amazing to see what can result of some one actually following advice. Great ride man.

[tornado96]

Truly amazing! This is an inspirational build! It's amazing to see how far you've gotten on your fitst coaster! Looking forward to future coasters!

This ride is inspirational... in other words, I want more black cross ties. Great video, and I'm telling you, people will see this and their jaw will drop in fascination.
