Hey everyone! I gave up on my blitz coaster because I lost all inspiration in it, so I started this B&M Hyper. I have spent a lot of time on this ride, especially the station/queue area. Here are some pictures and if you have any color/name ideas please share! (I am not sure on the current colors)

As you can see I have gotten a little inspiration from Leviathan with the lift.

The only thing is with the massive spine on the lift it doesn't need to have the chain return running under the lift. Also I'd change the car colors to some sort of warm color, like a nice rusty orange or maybe a subtle violet magenta.

For some reason i am NOT liking that green train. Try a ( as ^ said) warmer color for that train. But i like the first train's color.
It's been a long time

This looks great! The only thing I would say, as mentioned above, is the train colors, more specifically the green one.

Ok, so I changed the color of the green train and there are two different colors. The first is a lighter orange while the second is a darker orange. Which one should I use, or should I do a different color?

I can't tell a difference between the colors now lol. You should keep one as orange and go for more of a light reddish-orange for the other.

Nah, the second train is great but add a little more yellow to the first one and make the seats directly in between the two.

That?????????s a really impressive coaster you built. I only think you have to change the terrain texture, it looks just terrible...

Please, please remove the unnecessary lift spine/support (it is not needed as the B&M box spine is strong enough with proper support placement) and the crossing supports on the 3 main lift supports.

The A frame should be open, but keep the lower 2 lift supports cross bar in line with chain return. The handmade station and the track is looking good except the overall color scheme, it's giving me the blues.

I would say keep that lift spine, but rework the supports to make it cleaner. It add a lot of originality to his ride.

^I can understand that, but personally, the layout itself is unique enough.

Mavman, do what you want as it is your project. Blue track is fine, but maybe try some other light colors for the supports and then try to match the trains to mimic the overall color scheme. Maybe try matching support color to the seat color, see how it looks. Just seems like it needs some contrast.

Keep at it and don't give up it does look like a very fun ride.

@Roadrunner88, unfortunately I will not have 3D's, I don't have that much time to learn the 3D's programs right now.

@The Architect, I will try that whenever I get to a computer again (typing this on my phone).

So I made the supports lighter and made the rails gray. I think it turned out pretty nice! Thanks for the suggestions
