Great stuff, really enjoyed the video updates and the creativity you're bringing to this coaster!  Looking forward to seeing how all the bits come together at the end.

This is glorious. I always love the attention to detail in your rides and, in this case, going further than just theming.

Small theming update this week. One of the first planets you will see on the ride is Felucia, home of the Aklay (from the arena scene in Episode II).

Construction has now reached the ceiling. And I have now at least built the structures for all three propulsion methods.

I have to say, the style of updates you do are really fun to watch. I like how you're using different methods of propulsion, too. I don't recall anyone ever going past 2 methods, so kudos to you on that. 

[YolosweggLord]

This is insane, I never expected construction to get so... vertical. I wonder what you’re going to do with all this height now?
Also, how are you planning on adding the upside down chain? I remember seeing a Maurer Skyloop recreation which used paper or cardstock taped to the rails to keep the chain along the track. It would be interesting to see if you use this method or come up with something else entirely.

Aw sweeeeet!

I love your builds, I'm already digging this one, the vertical section looks interesting 

[FrIeDeGgS]

I love how you used the aquarium plants to look like Felucia, that area looks really nice! I'm really excited to watch this project be completed, I don't think we've had any other coasters this big with this much theming.

The upside down lift proved to be just as difficult as I guessed it would be. Good news is, it is currently working pretty well (better than the end of the video). If you have the patience to glue those ladder connectors right, and if you have a strong motor, this is the way to go when building inverted lifts.

Yes, hot glue!

[Britfag]

I would have never thought that'd be a vertical LIFT! I was expecting some sort of mid-course launch! haha.

Looks good though

[CW5X]

Loving your work as always. Really enjoying watching this layout take shape.

Went to the fabric store to make the walls black and more space-like. Took a really long time, but I think it looks better then Infinity's sheets of paper. Hasn't fallen down yet, so that's a good sign.

This keeps getting more and more interesting.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

That's a huge improvement, it looks much cooler! It looks like a lot of work but I'm sure was worth the effort.

 

Hey, you copied my piano bench too! We have the same one

[Chaos]

^Haha, nice! You play the piano too?!!! I'm traveling a lot over the next few weeks, so posting my Thursday updates is going to get interesting. But if people have any more suggestions as to what story/theming ideas, they'd like to see, this is a good chance to let me know!

[Chaos]

This week I basically just fixed the issues of the last two weeks. I fixed up the fabric on the walls and got the lift hill working much better now.

 

 

 

[Chaos]

Starting on the ceiling based parts of the coaster (and will then work my way down).

[SCM]

Speechless, I am. Everything looks absolutely epic! 

[Sporech]

That is incredible!!! That lift is flawless!!!
