Everyone will propably kill me for saying this but, the green supports that are on the ouside and inside of the turn should be box, not tube, if you want it realistic.

Enter Thunderhead. Se how the supports go outwardthis was the best pic I could find but I hope you get what I mean. Other than that it's AWESOME! I think this one will succeed. Good Luck!

well, they are not exactly tube supports or box supports. and i only put a few up now, but when the coaster is finished, i will put more around the turns so it will look more like woodie supports. i just have to make sure i have enough pieces first. Thanks for the comment!

oh and to everyone who said go under the lift supports, im sorry but i cant do that. if i start dropping now, the pullout would be too small in order to make it over the first pullout. so instead, i am having a small air hill then a drop over the first pullout then turning to the right.

I used those lateral supports on Mammoth as well, and they are very necessary if you don't want your whole coaster to shake. Great work Fragz, you'd better finish this one ;)

^The permit test was really easy for me. I only missed one and it was a statistics question. If you have any common sense you'll passes easily.

On topic. the coaster is looking nice. I really like the pre-drop. can't wait for the next update.

It looks good, and that sucks that it can't go under the lift supports.

Good luck on the permit test.

It looks awsome. Head choppers on lift hills FTW.it would be cool in the final video if you could time it so that 2 trains cross each other.

Looks very good, the only thing I don't like is the ugly supports that go on either side of the track when it crosses over the lift. I like the overbank idea.

The one with supports looks cool, the rest looks very smoth, flowing.

I personnally think you should use that "Jump The Gap" tutorial here, and screw the supports! That would be cool...

I like it with the supports on.

There may be some bumps in the helix, but it looks fine otherwise. An overbank would look cool I think, as long as it isn't too banked. Hope this one turns out better than the last two!
