Very well done.

Nice and smooth, and the train looks to carry the speed very well.

I commented on the video, golden trackwork!

Thank you to whoever commented!

Here's just a little teaser for what's to come. I'll have a full update later. Can you put the pieces of the puzzle together?



P.S. I'm aware of the bumps.

[alpal]

Air hill supports?

[Knexrule11]

A tophat..... Funky. Maybe a second launch?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Nope! Not a second launch, just an improved layout. I wasn't feelin' the banked dive thingy. This tophat was inspired by Dodonpa's.


And now for some real pictures.











I shall dub thee Tron: The Ride.

[Old_Hag]

That is incredible. I'm assuming the top hat is gonna go into the turnaround?

I really can't find anything wrong with this...

[Blackkitty]

There is just one spot from where it switches frop the pullout to the crest. There is a sharp spot there. You see it?

Anyways, i never liked that 1st element you had originally. It wen't through it all too fast.

[RNB]

Indeed, like ^ said there is a sharp spot. Now try to get it through the turn part you've already build!

[scott]

Hmm a twist.. How did you not see that sharp spot?

[Outerlimits659]

^Because it's supposed to be there.

Looks good, keep it up..

I think that the tophat is misplaced.

And for a name; how about: Nightfire?

[MichaelG]

^He is calling it "Tron: The Ride" I think. Brilliant shaping, cna't wait to see what is next!

[Kevyn230]

For some reason the top of the top hat bothers me but no-one has pointed out so it is probably me. Like the test vid on YT.

[Jumpge]

Wow, expertise layout, and I really like the tophat idea! Everything looks great, and I can't wait to see the connection between the Ring Racer and the tophat. The speed from the tophat should look really neat through the Ring Racer and air hill.

[SuperTKDKid]

This deserves one of my famous "HOLY crap FACE" that is awesome! It must be pretty cool to watch it run through the turn and up the tophat.

[alpal]

Dude, I love it. It adds a whole new dimension to the ride.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Thanks guys, so a lot of you are pointing out a sharp spot. Should I make the crest skinnier to smooth it out, like this?




Option 2 is to make the pull-in smaller, giving it more vertical track and a smoother transition to the crest.

Note that the top is NOT sharp, at least compared to Hypersonic XLC. I like it that way.

[SuperTKDKid]

No, KEEP IT THE WAY IT IS. Thank you.

[Blackkitty]

Change it.
