No track->tunnelhits, only some tunnel->tunnel. But since it's only 1 car on the circuit at the time. There is no problem at all.

Wow, we need a compact contest. Who can fit the most realistic track in a cube? That would be fun with an X-car.

- Finishing station area
- Finish catwalk supports

Sorry to rain on your parade, but there is just not one original element. All elements used already are just compacted here. You might want to reconsider that.

I know it probably will be awesome, but you will not get very many originality points from me.

^orginality isn't about having a new element, i'd say a layout as compact as this one is pretty original

Originality to me would be a few things, the first to do something thats never been done beafore, that would get very high originality points, a new element, alot of originality points again. And other little things.

To me this ride does look very original
Well done dirk!

:P

Looks like a cool ride, I guess I have to turn my speakers up to make it sound a little exciting [:D]... But it really looks like a nice ride and a clever design. BTW the resized pictures look way better than their original size

Originality isnt all about what elements you use in a ride, its also about how you use them, and how use them one after another. there only so many elements, there going to be used when making coasters. and for dirk to be able to fit all that in such a small area is pretty cool to me. i think originality should be higher, cause how many times have you seen a good coaster thats this tightly compact.

i think it looks great dirk!!! i cant wait to see it! [:D]

To give a small update: I've created an e-stop proof launch. You can press e-stop now at any time you want. It won't interrupt the launch sequence [:)]
