The "snow" looks great, you did a good job spreading it out. I like the layout so far, but I'd say you need to add a few more crossovers/near misses and that will make it much more appealing (not saying it isn't already). Wonderful!

Wow, I now see why you're a builder. Leviathian just wasn't very appealing to me...sorry.
BTW, how do you have so much time to build? For me it's just like 0-10 minutes a night...

LOL. I see bags of WHITE STUFF on the floor in pic seven. and the last picture = goose bumps. looks amazing.

One thing though. Are you planning on keeping this up untill Christmas or are you gonna take it down and build another Christmas coaster. Just wondering because your almost done and there's still a lot of time left between now and Christmas.

Is your snow cotton balls that you have pulled apart or are they something else? Coaster looks good.

Thanks! There's gonna be one crossover (which you'll see in the update below), but I can't make any more because of speed and pieces.

Yeah, Leviathan wasn't my best work. I haven't really had much homework lately, so I spend a lot of time building...about 1-2 hours every night.

I'm planning on keeping it up until around Christmas time. After Christmas, though, I'll take it down ASAP to start my next coaster.

Thanks for all the comments guys...now for the update.


DO A CROSSOVER!!!









The last picture shows the area where the last element before the brake shed will be. I'm tight on pieces and speed, so I have two options: do a bunny hill, or do a water splash. I'm leaning toward the water splash since it would be unique, as I'm unaware of any other coaster with a water splash. Please comment with your opinions on this!


:rfro

[vv monster]

looks good i say do a splash down.that track is really dark.

[DDRman732865]

Do a water splash, that would be cooler. But there have been other coasters with water splashes, but they're all really old.

I really like it! One question though. Do you still have a full 'footer' in the snow areas? Like, a 3D connector that has connections across and to the next 3D? Because a way you could save pieces if you were tight was take those out and replace them with half moon connectors. That way you'd save 3D's and granites. Just a thought.

[pkiknex25]

OY! Water splash is ours! BACK OFF! KTHNXBAI!

Just kidding, you can. It's not like its an idea that was stolen. This is looking really nice too.

[Rollerboaster]

My main issue with this coaster is that the layout is all over place...Really hard for me to explain. I wish there were more then 2 crossovers. But the shaping is good, splash would be cool.

[JPCoaster]

I agree with RB, it's not very compact, but I think the layout is original and it will be beautiful with the "snow" though. Can't wait to see a complete circuit!

[jakeryan9]

I am really liking this coaster, especially the theming and the station.I say do the splash!

[SFMMCrazy]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!I see more white stuff and I think you should do bunny hops cause you lose all your speed in a splash down.

[Pyro]

^ Well, this is the last element of the coaster.
On that note, I say...

DO A SPLASHDOWN!!...?

It looks awesome! I love the layout!

[BBaller347]

Very interesting coaster. I'm really starting to like it a lot more with the snow. Also, definitely go with the splash-down.

[SwimZONE]

LOL...now everyone is saying "DO A ..." Definitely splashdown. Te wolv iz jeluz uv te mamot.

[SFMMCrazy]

I say do a splash DOWN:durh

[MP thrill rides]

A splash down would be cool, but I don't think that it would fit this coaster...or any wooden coaster. Splash down or not this is still an awesome coaster.

[CCI]

i like it so far i think a water splash would be cool

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Wow :durh that's gotta be a new record for most comments within a few hours of the update. Thanks for all the input guys, I think I will do the water splash. Sorry, pki, I forgot you guys were doing one...I hope you don't mind too much. And I would agree that the layout is a little random and not very compact, but I kind of like it. I should be getting 50 more granite rods tomorrow so I can finish the layout, and I've started the water splash.
