The pacing looks great. Not too fast or too slow, except for the very very end. Does it make it up that hill up to the station (which also looks great. I suck at building stations)? It doesn't look like there's much speed at the end. Unless you've said something about it already and I missed it...

Haha sorry you had to change the design of the ending, but I'd rather you didn't get disqualified after finishing and filming it all
Anyway very nice with no flaws at all!

You have packed a lot of elements into a seemingly impossible area. I really like this coaster, and I too think you are going to give Blame Canada a run for his money.

I love the part that goes under the station. This is definitely one of the cooler wing riders I've seen in a while (there aren't that many anyway). You should go all out and theme this thing!

[Josh Monster]

I love the twistyness and that the track goes underneath the station and I think with some good theming you can beat Blame Canada:)

Thank you.

Wow this is awesome. I love how the second part is so compact. I cant wait to see the theming

Thanks, your wait is over.

I am working on that. As of now I have a small lift from the turn to the station.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you, lets hope I do.

I think I have found out why there are not many wingriders on this site. I am never building one of them again, dealing with the speed loss the cars snagging and the space constraint is just too much.

I settled on the name Avalanche (thanks Alpal) and started my themeing.
Let me know what you think.

[CW5X]

The name board actually looks pretty good. The little shrubs you have there certainly help complete the look. Can't wait to see everything done. I love a good tunnel.

Great layout, original and flowy!

I really like it!

[Helmut]

The lay-out is super twisty and it has a nice flow. The custom trains, station roof and logo are the icing on the cake!

[Jumpge]

Really really neat looking coaster. Great theming too.

[Josh Monster]

so, to make my ride more unique I added a gondola lift to the theming. There are two issues with it though, the top station is too tall for the height limit and the string is too close to the ground at the top station.
I also need to get thicker string so you can see it better and add gondolas to it. I will have to make sure the gondolas don't go out of the boundaries though so it won't actually move.

[Yannick]

Wow, I love your idea, it looks very good! Hope you get it work;)

[Jumpge]

That is so awesome. The theming is great.

[CW5X]

You just get some card and build the roof that way so the K'nex stays within the boundaries. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you have scenery outside the size limits as long as it's not made of K'nex? Or does that not apply height-wise. Either way, it is a really cool theming idea and definitely adds style to the model.

[Josh Monster]

Thank you for the comments.

I just got back from 2 weeks of vacation so I wasn't able to work on the coaster, but I managed to get quite a bit of work done, with Alpals help, in the three days I have been home.
Yet another redesign, I finally feel like this is the one, it works and it looks smooth. Now all that is left is finishing the theming.

[CartRacer56]

ooooooooooo through the station roof this year is going to be tough to vote on but i think i know who im voting for now

[Muzz135]

I agree with you on the new layout as it looks nicer and will certainly flow better. Can't wait to see the final video!

[CW5X]

Twisty and funky, with some very nice shaping to match. That roll through the roof is very unique.

[Cobra Roller]

This is honestly one of my favorite wing layouts. Love the in-and-out style with all of the headchoppers. Your banking is beautiful. If there's one thing you could improve, it'd be the shaping of the zero-g-roll-ish element after the first element.

[IonZer0]

The amount of creativity in this layout is...

THROUGH THE ROOF

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Seriously though good job.

[Jumpge]

The new ending for the layout really flows and it quite unique. I'm glad you went with this redesign. I can't wait to see the finished theming!
