Hi, this is my latest coaster. It's an Intamin Accelerator coaster. It launches you from 0-66 mph in about 3 seconds and has 6 inversions.
It's supposed to have a more Oasis theme, but I'll get to the terrain later on.

Here's an update. I've been working on the terrain and fixing up the supports. I've also made a custom station. It may be basic, but I'm still practicing with the program I'm using. Support work is going smoothly and progress is being made.

I got another update. I finished supporting the dive roll. I hope it looks good. Also, I need some feedback on the track and if you have any suggestions about the station. Please tell me.
Here's the dive roll:

I have a small update, I've added gates to the station building. It lines up with the car properly and looks good. Here's a pic:

I've started adding supports to the Zero-G roll, and I've gone through all the supports and made the ones that look weak thicker. Also, I've made a cartexture for the trains.

In that picture of the station, the gates looks very unorganized. Try to keep them the same size and distance apart.

Another small update which may not be in the final version. I'v been experimenting with color transitions and I want to know what you guys think of it. Take a look:

I've begun support work on the sidewinder. It looks good, but I'm still not sure about the track colors. Should I keep it one color or should I keep the color transtions?

Also, I've been wanting to re-do the station, I want to make a small room for the station controls. But since I use Wings 3D, I want to know how you can change a face's tranparecy, so I can make it look like glass. I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.

Well, after a number of unsucessful attempts to make a control house, I went back to my old PC-because it's XP, not vista- and installed Sketchup and the trial of Sketchup pro. I made a mediocre first attempt of a station control house and it looks ok. I'm still working on it.
I'll post a picture as soon as I can.
Trackwork Update:

I'm getting close to finishing the track. After that, I'm adding a few more hills to the landscape and adding some palm trees around the track. I hope to upload it by Sunday if all goes well.
