Looks good from the two screens, the shaping looks very realistic.

The shaping is not as good as i would like in terms of hill shaping, it's a little round. However, they are still very good hills offering realistic airtime.

The 1st hill on the ride offers around 3.5 seconds of continous floater.
The most extreme airtime on the ride is -0.8, which i believe is probably a bit high for a B&M?

It is, but not by too much. I've only ridden Nitro, and I would estimate has no more than -.4g anywhere on the ride.

The name has a redneck appeal, and will be perfect if you get some ghostTexas town cottages in there. Like an old western theme.

Holler:

I haven't heard one person in Texas say Holler by definition...it's not southern dialect, it's like "gangsta" in the US in the form of "Holla!"

If a coaster can be called Scream, then why can't it be called Holler?

Ben, at that low of a level, I would reccomend changing the lateral support to 2 tube size, not 3. They kinda look funny as they are.

You might also consider putting the bracing towards the outside. A "push" support rather than a "pull" support would probably do a better job structurally thinking.

Really? That's strange. I hear people saying it all the time in the southwest.

Yeah, other than "ya'll," which is a great word btw, we speak just like the rest of the civilized world.

Still lookin forward to seeing this one finished up Ben.
