Here are some screenshots of a coaster I started. I decided to leave the mega coaaster alone for now and start this. Do you guys think I should leave it as a lay down coaster or change it to something else? If I should change it, what should I change it to?

I like the idea but it puts your station much too high.

I've agree with A.S.C,your station is too high make it a bit lower

If terraforming permits the height of the station, no big deal. That crazy figure eight looks like something Arrow would have done. I look forward to the rest of the ride.

i think the figure eights can be a little closer together since a dutchman has lower trains. it also means you can lower the station a bit. it would be really awesome if that top turn pulled some more lats too.

btw Vekoma makes Dutchmans, not Arrow so its really up to how Vekoma styles their coasters...

Would be crazy if you got a heartline roll in-between the helixes.

For maybe more uniqueness, have the roll after the first helix go 180 degrees so the second is facing like a flying coaster, might make it even more cool. But I think this is a good start, could end up being pretty original if you keep it up.

I might accually try making it so you are flying through the second helix. Thanks for the ideas!

EDIT: So I changed it but im not really sure if I like it or not. If anyone would be willing to I will send you the file and all I will ask for is your feedback and to not steal it! [lol]

Wow it's been a while since I've updated this but trackwork is finally done!!(: Any way I have one pic for now and it's just what the final outcome is. Now I have to color, support, add scenery, and name. Any suggestions for any of these?

I'm currently working on support work and I want it to be very unique so it may take a while. Plus I'm going to Carowinds this weekend so Not much work should be done except for the days I'm alone in the room :/ When the time comes you can definitely test for me though!

Alot of progress has come shockingly. Just a quick update/question. Do you guys think I should keep or get rid of the horizontal bars on the supports?? The should be one more row right below the last two lift supports. I just didn't want to put them in if no one likes the horizontal bars.

thin the horizontal bars by maybe two sizes, and add cross braces in either l-beam or thin tube.
