Don't forget which direction the force is travelling in, either. Although what you have done to those supports looks awesome, in actuality, it hasn't added any strength to the support in the direction that it requires.

If you understand what I'm getting at [lol]. Not that I think anyone would pick up on it if you uploaded it. Just try to think where the force is travelling, and really the load wants to be taken away from the central support column in that direction.

I got what you mean. Those supports would need 2 additional strengthenings because of the wind and the direction the train goes. However, I think the supports and strength enough now to save it from falling or whatever because of the direction of the train :P. Look at Cheetah Hunt:

Update on the supports!

I got more supports done so I'm like 55% or 60% done with them now I think. Please especially tell me what you think about the supports on the two last airtime bumps. [:)]

I am very impressed with your supporting. Alittle strange on that one bunnyhop but the kickassness of the detail on the supports makes up for it. BTW your tophat element is very well done shaping wise. As far as i can see this is spot on as far as intamin shaping goes.

I'm guessing the bridge thing on the bunny hill is going to be part of the queue? If not, it's just plain awkward, but if so, it's obviously well-planned lol.

Everything about this looks fantastic, though. Looking forward to its release!

Thanks [:)], yes^ on the first bunny hop, the bridge-y supports are because there will be a path going under there to go to the station.

NO MORE supporting! Supports are done, totally done. Good news. Now here comes the theming with, first, the vertical transfert-track system. [:)]

No, it's not just you Kyle.

LeFlo, are these actually in use anywhere or is it something you have thought up based on Th13teen?

Yup, I based this off Mack Rides' station vertical transfert-track system that they used on Pegasus at EP and Twist at LePAL. [;)] I just made it simpler to integrate/hide.

Looks good!


Wow I didn't notice that at all when I was there.

Anyway LeFLO; this ride looks really good as always. It's good to see you branching out into new styles that you don't do as frequently.

Mystery Mine at Dollywood has one and it's actually quite impressive...completely hidden from view from anywhere but below because of the lowering system:
