Update!

please tell me if you see any thing wrong including support structure.

the yellow floating thingies are streamers I put on the fishing line so no one would walk in to it and kill the coaster ,and them selves.

That is AMAZING! This is going to be one of the best TTD recreations ever. Supports are extremely realistic and the pull in looks very smooth. Keep going!

[Britfag]

Oh. My. God.
LUSH

So smooth!!! Its insane!

[Jogumpie]

Hmm... it needs some smoothing. I could point out some spots, but I think you can see them for yourself.

[the_burrito_master]

^ yes I can thank you. I took the pictures right as I finished. I have flexies on it now and I think it's smoother.

^^lol thanks you shouldn't say oh my God you know its really disrespectful

^^^yeah and best of all it doesn't shake too much.

[TripleHelix]

Don't use flexis. Use gray rods.

[the_burrito_master]

^ don't have enough left if I did I would also have to use orange connectors ,and don't have many of hose left ether.

[TripleHelix]

You don't need orange connectors, just long, nonflexible rods. Maybe after you finish the supports, you can see if you have enough greys or greens to make the pullup sturdier.

Oh, and are you using a full-sized train? I really think you should, that would be awesome!

[drummer/coaster3]

^You just said what I was gonna say about the train lol. Well, I think you should use non-flex rods like TripleHelix said and the pullout looks weird in my opinion.

[the_burrito_master]

^^ in some places I would... right now I just need to conserve pieces.

^&^^ I am using a 5 car train yes. and since I have it all tied down it shouldn't shake at all.

I think the pull-in is a little too long. If you could just start the pull-in a little closer to the main support tower, then it would be pretty good, more like AMAZING!

[DeAzncy]

^it's fine... it should be that long for a launched coaster. lookin great TBM!

[CP-ephY]

Just drop this part down, because it's very flat, and it will look good

[the_burrito_master]

^^^ FYI It's supposed to be even maybe a little longer than it is here.

^^thanks

^ no I think it's at just the right height and it's best at this height because the supports sorta look white and I might make it launch up hill like it really dose. oh sorry I didn't see the picture ok but I think I already did.

[the_burrito_master]

this is the roof to the station I haven't finished the flags yet.

[knexems]

That is NICE! It looks just like the real station on TTD.

This is definitely one of the many epic coasters here on SSC.

[Jogumpie]

Btw, check out the long vertical column at the pull-out... At the point where a ribbon-thingy is attached, there is a huge bump in your support.

[the_burrito_master]

^thanks.

^^thanks.

update:

[Outerlimits659]

Very nice, looks just like the real station! You could even add gates inside of it-that would rock!
BTW Are those custom colored cars????

[the_burrito_master]

yes the red ones are colored. maybe but not tonight.

so what would all of you think about my using LEDs to make working stop and go lights on the tower and at the launch.
