Well... I've decided to take a break from all other projects, and actually stick to one. This one's called Solstice. It's a B&M hyper and it combines the older generation hyper and the newer (Diamondback) hyper.

I'm looking for someone to help me by making a 3ds lift and MCBR catwalk/platform, as well as a custom environment. If anyone's interested, please speak up.

Onto the ride:
As I was messing around with the multi-zone function in Newton 2, I found pleasant results in realistic shaping and such. I continued experimenting and eventually came up with this:

I appreciate that you've used the awesome drop compared to the crappy drops that started on Nitro.

19121: It's only compact after the first drop. After the MCBR, there's 3 bunny hills then a hop into the breaks.

The length is: 4,708.59ft

Gouldy: Thanks. I intend to actually finish this soon. Just need someone to help with 3ds. I 1)suck at them and 2)don't have time from school and work to do it.

Ckid: I much prefer this type of drop as well.

Alright. After quite a while of having this project on hold, I've decided to just support it and get it done. I am however looking for someone to do a cartexture for me.

Looks good. I like the low to the ground turns, They remind me of Raging Bull's but on a larger scale. Also, I don't think I've seen a B&M use this color scheme before.

I'm deciding between this or a spacy gray. I'm not sure.

They're the same as Silver Star. I think I like this scheme better though.
