Forum, I don't think I'm ready to give up building yet. I have enough motivation left in me to pull off one more project. I'm not looking to do anything big or too fancy, just to experience shaping track one last time, to be with all of you just one last time. This site has held so many memories for me... and I miss being part of the community. I miss the excited feeling in my heart when I see someone has posted on my construction thread. 

Here we go with the first update. I've made a section of pathway. There's not any track yet, but just imagine two inverted loops wrapped around the pathway, not unlike something you'd see in RCT2. 

(Oh how I miss saying this) Comment... if you want.

I like the little benches! Look forward to seeing this get built. Hope it's not actually your last coaster, though.

Attention to detail is great.  Looking forward to that track shaping you were talking about!

Thanks! Me too. I suppose it is possible I'll keep building, but I wouldn't count on it to be perfectly honest.

Thanks! Hopefully I can shape up to y'alls's expectations. 

 

New update! I've got some loops started... and a lift hill with catwalk segment... and two trains. By the way, something I'm doing with this is giving little nods to my previous coasters. (Slaps PB for making it impossible to see.) The benches were a nod to Toxic's benches. That's the only nod I have for now, but I assure you, forum, there will be more to come. 

 

Here's the loops. They are basically the exact same, so no need to take twice as much photos. 

Lifthill design is subject to change... so I can give a nod to another ride of mine. 

Here are the trains I'm going to be using. BTW, the train placement is no accident.  

Comment... if you want.

Looking good! As others have said your attention detail is great. I'm sorry you feel you should stop building, I hope that you don't!

Very nice so far! Only thing I’ll say is please don’t busy up/cover the loops around the path as I think that should be a very open and clean area of the ride just to maximise the aesthetics (as that section looks perfect!)

I was playing Swamp Cove in RCT last night and I thought something looked familiar...

I love where this is going! Let's see... the trains are reversed, so maybe they will go through the loops in opposite directions? In that case you'd probably have no shaking because the forces would cancel out

If you really think its gonna be your last coaster, I'd suggest building it to a size and in a place where you won't have to tear it down. I still have the last one I built 4+ years ago standing in my parents basement. Track work is kinda falling apart and the trains need to be cleaned and lubed but she still runs.
