Hey guys, so I've been out of the site for a while, but that doesn't mean I haven't stopped building! I have a video of my latest finished coaster Vanish Point rendering and then I will upload that. But that's not for today, but what is you might ask? A brand new B&M floorless coaster! I started working on it yesterday and I have the lift, and drop completed. I'm still going to work on it so just know what i'm going to show you is not the finished product. So, without further adieu, I bring you the pictures!

The pullout is still being worked on, I know there's a straight spot. :P

My only complaint is that the pullout should be a larger radius. Other than that it looks really good!

Looks good. I may be crazy, but it looks like you have a small bump right on the pre-drop hill.

I think the drop should perhaps be a touch more banked but apart from that, all is well.

:D I do too!

Thank you! I have made the pullout larger and smoother. :)

Thanks! I worked on that some. I will continue to work the pre-drop later. :)

I have not yet made the drop more banked, but I will. Thanks for the advice. ;)

Okay I'm back! I have made a loop and have worked on the drop a lot. so hopefully it looks better now. Also note that the shaping on the loop is not final, so if there are anything you see that needs work, let me know! Picture time. :)

^ Thanks A lot! I do hope so!

Alright so before I go to the next update, check out my last coaster Vanish Point. It wasn't very good, because I was not focusing that hard on shaping. It has some POV's so check those out. :P anyways, enjoy :D

Alright, now to the update. I have made a corkscrew and an overbank. I am also working on the shaping as I type this. Pictures, please!

I really like how much speed you kept! Pretty good layout but there are some sharp spots on the turn. Please fix it. Could you put some more pictures of the cork though, not sure if it's completely smooth.

To be honest, you need to redo the overbank. It looks awful to put it simply, and with the amount of speed you have left, I would turn it into some sort of inclined brake run. I don't think you will get much more length with the speed you have left. (I'm sorry for being so blunt, I just really advise against keeping the overbank.)

Alright guys, so sorry for the lack of updates, but I did finish the coaster. I removed the overbank and put in a brake run as requested by ^ Now, I have finished the layout and video, but before you watch it, note that it ended short due to lack of peices. :( Now, I bring you, ABYSS! Let me know what you think!
