Gah! I assume 1 pole of supports down the middle branching out to the track or support? It looks like you will have a fun time supporting it. Other than that, the track you have going looks quite interesting.

NICE. Have fun with the awkward supports coming out the central "pole" lol.

Excellent idea! This is going to wrap around a giant sequoia tree! 100 meters tall! xD

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.
I will be a Thai citizen if possible in a few years.

You know that isn't a bad idea, especially since you can hide supports in fake tree branches.

That sequoia idea is great but I have really limited 3d experience and am struggling just to get make the central tower structure.

Those supports look like it will be a nightmare.

^ They are, the ride already has one or two spots where there could potentially be two trains within reach of each other and probably 10 spots where the train makes clearance testing by a matter of centimeters. On the other hand I only found one outright failure which is in the loop where the clearance envelope just barely clips the other side.

This reminds of the Mall of America Euro-Fighter contest way back when hahaha. This looks awesome especially towards the bottom by the loop.
