Oh gawd PLEASE make some snow tunnels for the final video. Use the devastating snow to your advantage

[Jogumpie]

I'm loving the catwalks on this thing!

[Jumpge]

The ride looks fantastic. Idk what you'll do about the snow, but the ride looks flawless. Very, very nice recreation.

[ForgotToGrowUp]

Wow, this is amazing. So realistic looking with the catwalks.

Gives "out and back" a whole new meaning ;-)

The coaster looks so nice now that it is covered by a layer of snow. Will you take off the snow so you can do some testing, or did it already melt away? Now that you posted a full set-up, it makes me realize even more how huge this ride actually is.

^ Oh trust me... It hasn't melted away yet...

As I told you on Skype, looks absolutely stunning. Crazy how realistic you got this to be.

[Connector1o1]

It is so epic! I absolutely love it, and the addition of snow was a really nice touch! The the wing is fantastic, how did you make the snow look so real?
I know how useless my comments and advice are because of my building level, I just want you to know you should love what you have done because it is fantabulous.

I mean... I like the snow and everything but I really think that it will cause huge speed loss on the track. Obviously not your greatest idea there... The actual ride though is amazing. So much detail and great shaping.

[Coasterman345]

I would put a tarp on the die to prevent more snow and fading. The ride is incredible, and very accurate. Just be glad you didn't get 5-7 feet or mores snow like in Buffalo.

[quote name='Muzz135']That is one amazing build! The lift is really nice and smooth but I agree it may be worth adding an extra motor to help get it up to the top. It's a pity it's covered in snow, but it'll be worth it in the end!
Now finish it! [/QUOTE]
Thank you! But yeah, It'd be best if I do add another.
[quote name='CowmanBearPig']This is looking lovely! The lift hill works beautifully. You standing next to it puts it into perspective how massive this thing is. Great work so far, I can't wait to see the final product![/QUOTE]
Thank you! Sadly, you won't be able to see the final product for a while.
[quote name='SCM']I don't see anything to criticize on... looks good, turtle! And um... is that you in those pictures? You look so different from the last time I saw a picture of you before. Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else, I don't know.[/QUOTE]
Thank you! And yes, that is me in the pictures, haha.
[quote name='Gvus']This is looking absolutely incredible, I see nothing wrong so far!
I want snow!, I'm getting so pumped for ski season.[/QUOTE]
Thank you!

Me too, and thank you!

Thank you! There wasn't really anything I could do about the snow, I kind of just had to let it set out all winter...

Yeah, it did, haha. It was quite a while before the snow went away, ahahaha. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with the result so far also.

Thank you! Ahaha, good one. Hey, you don't make that bad of coasters, your coasters are actually pretty decent! But no, nobody's comment is ever useless, I take my time and read through everybody's comment, no matter how good they are at building.

Yeah, you're right about that not being my greatest idea...I kind of regret it now... Thank you!

That would've been a good idea, but I don't know where my mind was at the time. XD Thank you! And yeah, i'm glad we didn't get that much snow, haha.

Anyways, this is a long overdue update that I should've done long ago. I managed to build the roof for the station and such, and I finally got the coaster broken down into chunks for storage(Had to mow and stuff, haha ). But with keeping it out all winter, came disadvantages, obviously. There was sections that were damaged due to the freezing and such, so I will have to fix them sometime. The main part needing fixed is the turnaround, which isn't in too good of shape as of now.













You can see a lot of the damage to the turn around in the picture above

Edit: Oh, and before I forget, here's a picture of the little roof for the top of the lift. It's pretty much a prototype to see what y'all think of it, that's why it's not color-coded yet.


As always, please leave a comment down below as of what you think.

It's still just as beautiful as it was before and that station looks epic. I still can't get over how big your collection is.

[SCM]

"I still can't get over how big your collection is" I know, right? This guy right here has several coasters up at once, you can see them in the background.
That station looks intense. As for the rooftop, I think it looks good, but it would look better if it was more full. Not sure how you'd pull that off, though, so I guess it's good as is.

[Muzz135]

This is going to be one superb coaster when it's set up! Very well built, just a shame it's a bit damaged, but I'm sure you can fix it easily.
I was actually at Cedar Point about 2 weeks ago and after riding this coaster I thought 'I can't believe someone built a recreation of this!'

[IOAgeek]

Love it dude!! The detail is spot on! What's there left to do layout wise on this coaster so we can get a full set up outside!!
