now THIS one may be my Christmas coaster... seeing as the commercials already have Christmas carols on them.
This will be my second attempt at tube supports and this time I believe it will be completed. I reached a reasonable pace last time with my building speed, and this time I hope that it will be the same. I gave myself a nice amount of time between now and Christmas so that this coaster would shoot for that goal. Themeing will be decided later on, but hopefully I can break out the ol' mini Christmas tree
These pictures were taken on my phone, so sorry for quality issues.

looks good. If you can complete a coaster with tubes, it gets a lot easier from there to do it again. Happy building!

*bump*
Sorry I haven't been building, I was kind of slacking and deciding, but now I got a good idea.
What I'm going to have is a platform covered in cardboard supporting a Christmas train, and a snowy village, I will have cotton sheets for snow and maybe some sparkles <3
Here are some pictures, I think next will be a buckel, not sure tho.

There is a large straight spot in the exit of the overbank, then leading to a sharper pull out. Lower one support in the exit slightly and you will be golden. Other than that, perfect with great theming.
Automation is my specialty
If only I had more space/pieces/time.
