I recently got a spark of creativity, so I created this GCI inspired ride, Wendigo. I am in the process of finishing the bridges, getting the supports to line up correctly. Then on to lateral and sway bracing. Lastly, a couple 3d buildings and scenery, and we should be good to go!

Use a different name, it's too similar to Windigo, which is one of the best NL coasters ever.

meh, Windigo was alright. Everyone seems to proper bum off it, but... honestly, there are WAY better coasters, on this site, let alone the wider web.

Freddie - I don't think I do yet, I'm pretty satisfied with how the track is turning out.


Update: Supports are shaping up. I'm trying to get the lateral and sway bracing into place, almost takes as long to build in the editor as they take to design in real life! ;)

I have been working on the bridges. They are now 3d models, versus stacked I-beams. The trees are in too, just to keep things fresh.

I've been starting to plant ledgers as well. They are kind of a pain in the ass to put in, so we'll see how much of the ride actually receives them.

Until next time...

A few more pictures for you. I have been adding in the dirt under the ride. It's a bit low definition, so I'll have to fix it later, but for now, progress is progress.
