As it doesnt eat too much piece and you have alot you should really go over-realistic with station and everything. This will be awesome.

Are you sure that will get you up to twelve feet? It doesn't look very high so far.

Update time!
I finished the tower no track supports yet though it's very sturdy considering the way it's built ,but it's not as sturdy as I would like it too be. I think I'm gonna tie it down with fishing line and cinder blocks or bricks to keep it from blowing over and shaking.
that is my 12 foot basket ball hoop so I was close with the height.

Wow! You can build really fast! It took you only two days to finish the whole support tower.
Are you going to use tube supports for the pullin/pullout or are you going to use the normal box supports?

^THANKS A TON!!!
^^ I am yes I already have one pull in done. it is very smooth!!!
^^^ I can build so fast because I can build at the same time I do school because I'm home schooled and my classes I do on a tv it is so awesome! I can build for two class periods that I just have to listen to.
^^^^ I'm staring on that! and it's coming along greatly so far.

Your supports are looking great! They replicate the ride perfectly.
I had no idea you were home schooled. I am home schooled too.

Amazing! Almost spot on. I would just make the triangle/pyramid on top taller though, just to give you more height to work with. Just because it should be near vertical when it hits the next story of the tower below it.
