Looking good so far for a station. Are you going to use a chain or tire drives?

When you update your coaster, don't open a new thread. Post your update in this thread.

Anyways, looks good! I love that station floor you have there.

Using so many greys for a simple piece of track in the station is a bit pointless, but it's up to you! The rest looks good, certainly the platform.

I would recommend building your coaster first and then focusing on extra details such as stations. That way, you don't run out of pieces because you have so many tied up in extra details that aren't crucial to making your model work.

Save your pieces for the actual track before working on theming etc.

Thank you, i am going to use a chain.

No i am not gonna open a new thread for the same coaster, but because the other thread was closed... btw Thank you!

I think i'm gonna change the greys because it is really pointless ;) Thank you!

Ok thanks i will think about that.

Can we get a side view of the crest? Also, how many SS & RR do you have? This coaster looks pretty cool!!! I am looking forward to the construction of it! And do you live in a hut or something? The second picture.

I hope you can handle this scale. You could use a bit more cross-ties on the lift, especially the crest needs some extra.

I agree with Maatren the lift could use a bit more x-ties.

Judging from the coaster in the background this one is going to be good.

EDIT: I meant to say that I agree with Helmut. I get the two confused often.

You should put in some more crossties (unless you're on a crosstie shortage.)
Judging by the height, I can tell this coaster is gonna be intense!

The signature you have requested is not available at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The lift looks fine, nothing to comment on actually. Make sure you add some more cross ties :).

Well, I like the look of the steep drop but I guess, unless you're going to move it, that's the only way you're going to fit it in and the supports look fairly sturdy. Would have to see a video to actually see how it performs but you'll be more experienced at tube supports than I am so I trust you'll get it right. Look forward to seeing more.

There is one support on the drop that is too far out. It creates a bump that disrupts the flow of the drop.

If only I had more space/pieces/time.
