It’s been a while since I’ve made a construction thread.
“A coaster, but not a coaster. Something that will be unfinished when it is finished.” - SCM, TLT #45649
Forum, the pictures are down below so feel free to skip reading.
I’m only 90% done with this first prototype update. I already know exactly how this will look before I even finish building it. There is so much potential here.
I have a little over 1,000 grey half moons and a little over 500 blue spacers. This one small section alone has inflicted a worrisome dent in my piece count for these pieces.
I wasn’t too worried about getting the trackwork to be smooth. It ideally would use more X-ties and maybe have a backbone using granite corner connectors and black sparkly flexis. Maybe even some purple middle middle tubing, though I’ve never been able to use middle middle tubing without said tubing getting scratched up.
This thing would have thicc pathways and buildings interacting with the track. I’d like to see some architectural-based (factory) themeing. Something you’d find in an RCT2 video (shoutout to SpeedCoasterMaster on YouTube 
). It’d need to be in a way where the track and structures compliment each other in an infinite loop of coolness.
Using the blue spacers like I did was a result of both necessity and aesthetics. I needed a color that would really contrast against everything else. So, blue spacers were used.
Le photos:
A queue line like this with blue spacers would look marvelous, especially if it were an extremely long queue line with plenty of turns, possibly taking no less than 1,000 blue spacers alone.
There’s the aforementioned thicc pathway’.
I absolutely love this final picture. 
This coaster would also have the first vertical layer of each tube colored metallic green and the rest grey, to mimic polluted factory water.
Don’t expect a full coaster from this. This is just a prototype; an idea. I do want to build a full coaster again, but I can’t. ToxiCaterpillar was the biggest coaster I was able to make at the time. Now, it’s just the second half of my bed. I don’t necessarily like having to build in an ‘out-and-back’ style. I like building layouts that are spread out like butter on a piece of toast.
I’ll be moving in the near-ish future, to a (hopefully) decent-sized room.
Every time I first set foot in a potential “new house”, the first thing I do is search for my potential “new room” and assess how much building space there would be. It’s a force of habit by this point. Comment… if you want.
