I actually dispise the brakes on the Normal towers. It always forces me down and the inevitable smashing of the family jewels on the seat bump.

I just like that going vertical, then pausing then coming back down. Its the quick decel that gets me. Great feeling.

You think thats bad?! On Drop zone, they messed up the brakes and now it slams down very hard... It crushed my twig and two berrys.

I'm planning on uploading a short video of it tomorrow. It's only a quick ride, so the video's not much longer than 1:30. Also, has anyone got any suggestions for a theme? I'll hopefully start on that this weekend.

Video Uploaded! sorry for some of the slight jerks, there's nothign I could do about them. Also, the real thing dosen't go as far up as it does in the video, but the friction settings get messed up due to the low fps.

Also, has anyone else got any theming suggestions?

Update: Final screenshots have been uploaded. This will most likely be the final thing, I'm virtually done with all the 3ds. There's still a few more things I've got to do, so expect the upload date to be Sunday 5th feb. (next week)

I've made a few changes to some of the objects since the last update (lost with the server change). I've changed all the glass above ground level to green instead of yellow, to add a bit more variety. The ramps which lead up to the elevated parts now fade from yellow to green, which I think adds a nice touch. Other things I've added include a Gift shop, an Entrance Sign and a few other things which can be seen in this screenshot.
Let me know what you think of it, I've still got plenty of time to change things if you don't like them.

the track layout is very simple but yet still complex and the 3ds just pull the whole thing together it looks really nice.

Looks really cool. My only gripe is that concrete texture. I just don't like it very much. You could probably find a better one http://www.3dxtra.cygad.net/page/46.htm
