Hey everyone, I am back with another coaster and this time I am going for a recreation of Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa. I have been wanting to do another wooden coaster and an RMC type coaster so why not do both at once! Rollerfreak987 will be helping out with some of his pieces for the second half of the layout as we will only be using the scremain serpent pieces to help improve the appearance of the coaster. So far we have built the station, storage area, lift hill, outward overbank and the first inversion. Its pretty difficult shaping the track for these elements as the flexi rods and x-ties do not want to twist as fast as the track does on an RMC but we can get the track very smooth once its complete. The speed is fairly consistent from the strong structure and track work, all those track to support connectors pay off in the end! The TV stand will be moved later on so we can build the elements after the wave turn. This is gonna be my new building space, and I think it has a large amount of space to build great layouts. There is a lot of pictures for this update so hope you enjoy them.
