Sorry for the radio silence, I've done a lot to the coaster, and I've just arrived at Uni so I haven't had a chance to post any updates.

 

Anyway, the coaster is technically done. I haven't had much of an opportunity to add theming, so I went with a snake theme again since the screaming serpent trains have snake stickers anyway, so I named the coaster 'Taipan,' a type of snake. If you can think of anything better please let me know haha.

 

Here's a short video of the coaster in action (automation and everything!):

I made a Stealth/Rita-like traffic light system, but two of the LEDs won't light up in the video. Also, I've just realised now that I'm away that the red lights should turn off when the others switch to green. That's now my number one priority when I get back home, to fix that and get the lighting sequence correct!

Next time I'm home, I'll put together an edited video since this one's kinda short.
