All I can say is this is amazing and very creative, but speed loss is going to be a biggy.

why can't i hold all these radiusususeuses

Stig, it's looking incredible. I'm hoping you won't lose too much speed, because this looks good. Insanely good at that.

Have fun losing like more than half your speed from that turn;) but anyways this is looking great.

Hmm love those tube supports

Up next is an element I modeled in Newton2. And I've almost finished building it.
However, I've run into a problem along the way: supports.
The current configuration is only temporary. To do all Skyrush supports would put a couple of them too close together. One will be impossible to do without intersecting another support.

So, for this section, I'll be adding a custom structure to compensate for the irregular node placement - which isn't entirely unheard of. Just look at iSpeed's top hat... custom tube structure with Skyrush supports everywhere else.
So I've got a while to come up with a structure to hold... 1... 2... 3 nodes. Yes, three of them. It's going to look funny, but it's cool because I like Intamin's funky tube structures.

In the meantime, I figured it's about time y'all got an update.







^ This is the support I'll be replacing. It's kinda ugly anyways.

Its looking great, but is that all the height that you can get out of this? It seems like Yuri ou could make it a decent amount taller.

How fast does it go through that! Give us a test video. Also, the element reminds me of The Swarm, K'nex wooden coaster's element and Goliath at Walibi World.

Looks very modern Arrow-y! Do you have any pics of the train?

[alpal]

Looks good, but unproportional. Can you make that element higher?

I'm really enjoying this. I cannot wait to see what the suspended cars do on the track.
