You did a nice job on it so far! You've got quite a lot of speed left for the rest of the layout, and that's one thing that I really like! How're your pieces doing? Do you almost run out of them now, or is that fine??

Nice coaster, interesting mess. Random cabbages, marshmellos and pretzels amongst old gym equipment, tools, toys, kerosene, tractor....very interesting indeed.


Thanks!

"oh yeah!" nice job so far turtle. this looks great!

Thanks! Also, for my piece count, I have plenty to finish this coaster. Just not sure if I have enough granites without having to take Night Hawk down, but I do have enough to complete this nontheless.

Update!

I haven't updated this in quite a while, because I haven't built anymore on it. I just started building more on it earlier so I have an update. This update is of the airhill beside the 2nd airhill. Does it look fine? Let me know so I can continue.

^As you can see, I fixed the first airhill to have the "tunnel" under it.

Please comment!

This does look fine as long as you have the small right turns near the end like the real thing.

Looks good to me so far! Keep it up, also, you should add tubing to check if you have enough speed, but I think you do.

Nice! I like the amount of x-ties your using, but hopefully you don't run out by the end of the coaster! :D This coaster is looking nice so far!

I see some MTN. Dew, thats some nice MTN Dew. Oh there's a coaster? Well I guess it's looks nice. :P I really like the air hills! They seem so smooth, smoother then the real ride! Keep it up! :) (thumbsup)

I know that, that's been fixed. Thanks!

I'll try to remember to put them turns in, thanks!

Thanks! I won't know if it'll make it until the turn is completed and I set it up outside.

I won't run out of x-ties by the end of this coaster, have a look yourself below. :)

Update! Sort of.

This is mostly to find out if the foundation I've built seems about right compared to the real ride before I go and add supports and track in the area.

X-ties I have left not on a coaster.
Posted Image
Grey rods left that's not on a coaster.
Posted Image
Coasters that can be tore down, if need be.
Posted Image
A little I've done since the last update.

And the foundation for the turn around.

Anyways, can I get comments on if the turn around is good so far so I can move onto adding track and supports to it?

The turnaround looks good enough, and it looks like it's in proportion to the ride so that's good, too.

I'm not done building yet.

The foundations look great for a smooth turn and it looks pretty accurate for the ride from what I'm seeing. This will be really great if you continue building like this.

Anyways, update!

I'll just let the pictures and video do the talking. Also to let you know, this road is at a slight downward slope.

Wow that is long! Anyway the straight spot right there is how it's supposed to be, as is everything else. Going to add middle tubing?

That straight spot is supposed to be there. The second half of the airhill could use some more work. The length of this coaster is impressive, and I am glad to see the train makes it!

The audio of the first 7 seconds of the test video is excellent. Also, good work...I'm just now seeing this, so is this road setup the final location and you're building/storing it in sections elsewhere?
