Option 1 is my vote. Amazing coaster and hopefully i can get the magnets to work for the brakes... Me encantan mucho...

[timtimlaz]

As others said, option one. It doesn't make the track seem hidden and you probably want this done anyways. How close are you to finishing this?

[Gvus]

I like option 1, it looks cleaner and spiffier!

[-=Zach=-]

Option one looks the best IMO.
If you are going to set it up anywhere, I might have to come over there and see it.

Dude, how long have you been working on this coaster? I prefer option 1, like everyone else. Can't wait to see it set up!

[Connector1o1]

As all the other SSC'ers said, option 1 looks the best. I am glad this is still being built!

[Helmut]

I would go with option 1 as well. When can we expect a full setup? I cannot wait to see this coaster up and running!

[< NCcoaster >]

I'm so glad this is almost finally finished because Blue Streak will be one of my all time favorite wooden coasters. K'nex wise, option 1 looks better, but option 2 is closer to the height of the real railings, the only problem is it wouldn't look as clean and the train wouldn't stand out as much as option 1. Good luck making all of it, and soon finishing this incredible recreation.

Option 1. I like how the station feels kinda old school.

Thank you!

Thank you! I hope you can too. Even if they don't, I still may try them. Just depends.

Thank you! As for How close I am, I just need to put on a motor setup, get station/brakerun finished, and the catwalks/rails done. So mainly just theming, besides the motor setup.

Thank you! I'll let all you know when I have it set up, if I do in a public spot.

Thank you! As for full setup, probably in the summer sometime. Maybe sometime soon, since school gets out on the 28th.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but wanted to see what you guys thought first. Thank you!

Update

This is an update to show you where I am on the catwalks/rails atm, and to show you the diagonals for the turn around.












^And extra rails waiting to be used.

This is looking great! The catwalks look even better than I had anticipated, I love those catwalks!

[RidesByDaan]

Those catwalks are awesome! They will eat parts like a monster but it looks really good!

[Muzz135]

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see this thing in action!

[SCM]

I can't find the catwalks on this! If I were to point out anything, it would be that sometimes, the X-ties are really close together, such as in the 2nd picture. Of course, this does look good!

Yeah, I think they do too. Thank you!

Yes, they do eat parts up, haha. Thank you!

Thank you! May not be soon since snows moving in. You never know though.

I see what you mean, i'll try to see what I can do.

Don't really feel like saying too much at the moment, so enjoy!
The coaster as of like 5 days ago.







And it as of now.

















A few k'nexies or whatever in the spoiler.

Spoiler

And the rest of the coaster atm.

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!

[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!

[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.

[Gvus]

This is looking absolutely incredible, I see nothing wrong so far!
I want snow!, I'm getting so pumped for ski season.
