Thanks for the kind comments dcs - means a lot coming from someone who has been around NL for so long!
Multiple tracks to felt easier to work with to getting the track elements to show. I'll admit I didn't use a higher friction - that didn't occur to me when designing - so thanks for the information I'll be sure to take that into consideration in future / if I do a redux of this with completed scenery.
Also completely agree on on the element before the tunnel - it was a casualty of time constraint and lack of ability to get it right first time.
Absolutely loved this. I enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed a ride for the pure design in a while now. Skeptical of track length, seems there are hidden coasters so not sure which one I was riding lol, but I'd expect polyurethane wheels on the steel track which means higher friction than steel on steel of the wooden style in NL. Main thing that needed work on the track was one hill halfway through where it banks one way then drops the other into the tunnel. That first bank was harsh to the point of looking unnatural. I might have killed about 10*, or started it slightly earlier, because it took me out of the experience. It's an awesome and unique element though, just the execution wasn't up to the standard set by the rest of the coaster. Thanks so much for sharing and well done.
