This all looks very well done, I love the pier. Now get making the coaster :P Will it fit entirely on the pier, or should we expect something bigger?

Staff? Is it possible for Muzz to be disqualified for taking this too seriously and adding too much detail?

 

 

Seriously though, not sure how anyone is going to beat your flawless builds that are going into this mini-park.

Yes absolutely. Far too detailed for sure. Wish I could build a drop tower that actually looked like a drop tower. There's a reason I don't really do flat rides. ;) Great stuff.

    What to build.....

So it's been a little while:
First I was on holiday for two weeks and through school, training and laziness I haven't built a huge amount. My goal was to enter Summer Heat however this is too close to be sure I will manage it. As of now the Pier itself is 85% complete with its three rides. I just need to put it together and add my themeing.
The next part of the project is the landmass that the pier connects to: it has been built but I have not built much in it - only a lift tower + the drop (it will be a custom style eurofighter when finished).
Final things to mention is that I will be trying to complete this full project, however I may need more than a week to do so :P. And also I am very sorry for not updating but photo bucket has been a pain in the ass and won't let me move photos (I like it organised so wouldn't be able to creat stable links in the current folders).
Anyway.... Here is the Kiddy Coaster that none of you actually knew about ;)



The coaster itself is finished, all that needs to be added is the flooring and the station + booth. Please note that this is my fully weighted and lubed train which is for bigger coasters so it is a bit too fast - I will be preparing another train for the final video.
Thanks for reading all this guys (if you did :P)

Okay, what is up with the way it moves? The train seems to move so realistically and the photography seems so smooth, it's weird... The build is pretty cute, but I've never seen this kind of fluid movement from a train.

Edit: EXPERTS HATE HIM

^ Got a good laugh out of that final comment GreenPig :P

So another few weeks have past and I have been chipping away at my build. Unfortunately I have not managed to do as much as I would have liked as I am pretty busy with school, training and applying to University at the moment.
Since the last update I finished the Wacky Worm coaster station which I have to say looks quite nice ;). Also, I have built the last mass which literally ate my collection but has great strength and a considerable size to it. On top of that (literally) I have built around half of my big coaster project: a custom styled Eurofighter. This coaster is to be a mix of Intamin, Gerstlauer and B&M with a consistent red, grey and green colour scheme.

Anyway I apologise once again for having now picture - I just don't have time right now - however the next update should have good photos showing the finished Pier and what I manage to complete on this coaster in the meantime.
Enough babble, onto the video!

Please leave some comments guys as its great to know what you all think of the build!

Gosh, this thing is gorgeous. 

 

Fantastic job. 

 

You had the same concept as me, but executed much better than I could have ever done.

I think the middle of the cobra roll needs a tad bit more banking to make it look better, the shaping of the elements looks good and has limited shaking too. Wonder whats next for the layout, maybe a corkscrew or barrel roll?

Haven't checked in on this in a while but I'm glad I did now. Both coasters look great. If you need any pieces, I'm not using a lot of mine right now if you need to make the mass bigger or do... many, many other things as well. I love where this is going. Maybe over Christmas I'll get to see it properly working. ;)

That color scheme and ride layout is to die for! I'm especially loving the pretzel knot, even from this angle. TBH I like how the cobra roll is now. It gives it an intimidating flare. 



I'm not done building yet.

You know you've made it when CC10 comes back just to compliment your coaster  ^_^

 

 

I love that eurofighter so, so much. It reminds me of Celsius, but this has a way better layout. Great use of terrain. That airhill into the underground cobra roll is one of the coolest element combinations I've seen in a while.

 

And I'm glad someone else is giving micro chain on a SS coaster a try. It's so much better than the regular SS chain.

This is amazing! It's been a while since I've seen a pretzel knot. I love the flooring and the water. Speaking of which, the fact that you put water underneath the pier just goes to show that you went that extra mile for scenery and stuff, which is what really won me over! (thumbsup)

What?! Three years later?! Haha, this is amazing. The whole pier is so aesthetically pleasing and I am angry you kept it from the world for so long.
