Ooh jeez, another rocket, I'd like to see more Premier rides, personally, but apparantly no one has enough imagination to creat a good speghitti bowl, no one except coasterkidmwm, anyways.
But I guess its cool your breaking away from the woodies and experimenting with some other stuff.

Theres no real way to make a bowl original. It all ends up being the same jumbled mess. I dont care if theres new elements, a bowl is a bowl. Its like an Out and back. You can throw in new elements to help the originality but at heart, still just an out and back.


BTW I tried to get him to go back to designing wood - almost worked :P

Real -- Oh no my friend .... I have been inspired and took your hints to heart, but want to get this one out first so McFly will get off my butt about me "having reached my maximum potential and needing to do something else" ... [lol]

More pics posted -- layout is complete.

Change? Something different? Where's the wood Tconwell? Are you feeling allright? This will be a nice change, but this is akin to Pat Boone making a heavy metal CD, a curiosity for sure, but a little scary.

Sounds and looks good TJ. Its nice you are breaking away from woodies for once. I do like your woodies, and woodies are the best to create IMO (thats why most of my library is woodies) But its good to have some variety. [:D] Good luck TJ. And do i see some Rita/Kanonen/Speed Monster inspiration from that, or is it just me???

There is a bit of those influenced JP - but nothing direct. Again, this is just a little something from me for me ... ;-)

I just hope it's funner to ride then to look at. There will be terraforming and/or scenery as well too, right? Not to be negative, it just looks kinda repatitive.

It looks good, but I hoped that your new coaster would become a woodie =P

Know what I am driving at? If not allow me to elaborate. I have designed this for me, not to please "the masses". Yet, your lunch will be tossed on this, not to worry.

[lol]

Edit: Just a quick update that this coaster is just about done. I have some supporting to do and since I do not own the construction kit may never got some "custom supports" which would do this up right. At any rate, it is just about ready to be released, once I solve the supporting issue. [lol]

did you figure out a name for it yet or can you not think of one?

Nope, no name has come to mind. My last wood was Java cause I was in in a Java programming class (lol) ... maybe something will spark this week. But, "Database Administration" just isn't gonna cut it as a name. [lol]

Happy to help out with the supports if you need someone with the support flanger. You can even send me the finished track and I will "flange it up" and send to back to you.

I am stuck in creative limbo as I have no fewer than 7 tracks in the works and no motivation to finish any of them. Be nice to help someone else whilst I try and get the creative juices flowing again.
[:D][:D]
