For a name, I would choose 'Grizzly Bear' and theme it to a hilly forest.

As for the coaster, just make the pullout bigger and its perfect.

^Yep, sounds like another Boreal Backwoods. lol

How about Firewood? Give it a forest fire type theme.

Oh, you need to keep the box supports as close to the track as possible. Right now it doesn't look that much like a woodie.

How about silver star.

[lilmikemarin]

Hm Firewood sounds the best, or Grizzly Bear. We'll see. I'm going upstate NY tonight so that might help me think of something. I'm staying at the house were my uncle goes hunting. Anyway, I finished the hill, fixed the pullout and added more box supports to the drop. Pics

^Airtime!


^Hear you can see the pull out and the supports on the drop

Thanks for all the comments and more are appreciated. And I won't be working on this till Monday since I'm going upstate.

Very Nice man. I really like the small woodies. Any plans for the next element?

[lilmikemarin]

^Thanks! For whats next I might make a turn around into a helix, then a small hill into the station.

[CoasterBuilder]

Wow, looking good! A helix would be cool. How much speed do you have?

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

That looks nice. Very smooth great job.

[lilmikemarin]

Thanks both of you. ^^I have pretty good speed for turn around and a helix.

[KiNg Of Da Ka]

Nice coaster.It's very smooth.I can't wait to see more this coaster.

[lilmikemarin]

Update! Ok, I finished the turn. Tell me what you think. I also have a video. I still can't think of a name/theme. I don't really want to go with a forest theme since its not very original.







As you can see I'm running out of grey granite rods. Only a few yellow left. If i run out I will have to use some from my saved lift hill.

Comments are appreciated.

[Chubs33]

Looks good man, the speed is very realistic! Keep it up...

[jawharp1992]

^ I think it was just the camera slowing down, but it does look great. Keep up the nice work!

[lilmikemarin]

^I didn't edit the video. Thats the speed of the coaster. Anyway thanks for the comments. Can someone help me think of what to do next? And also a name/theme.

[lilmikemarin]

Ok, I haven't updated in a while. Pics first, explanation last.

^It;s the angle

^Yeah...idk

OK, so. I don't like the turn that much. And I don't kno what to do next, so, this is what I need you guys to help me with.

1. Should I keep the turn
2. The rest of the layout (use this PICTURE for reference)
3. A NAME/THEME that doesn't involve a forest.

[fastman xc]

you need to carry the banking through the crest; it will look better that way.

[lilmikemarin]

^True, but then I will have the same element twice in a row. I think I'm just gonna take down the turn. Can someone please help me with a layout and what I listed in my prev post.

[fastman xc]

maybe a helix instead?

[lilmikemarin]

I was thinking of a helix, but I don't want to loosed speed. I'll try it I guess.

[lilmikemarin]

Ok, I built half the helix, because its way too big compared to the size of the other elements. Anyone know a way i can use radii supports to make a smaler helix, or any other supports, or should I build the rest of it and leave it?
