This looks pretty cool, Dynamix. I think it's great when people give realistic construction updates.

Oh, your handrails should be wood and so should the rails holding up the hand rails - not steel. :P

good suggestion real lol

and umm, take a close look at the support structures on hades and voyage to get a gg style. but if you need any more resources, any CCI will do.

*edit*
oh oh oh forgot one thing, USE SNAP if yur gonna make supps yurself. I know u don't like to use it but most of the time its easier to make em straight without a lot of work.

GG was CCI. I dont think they will only make just large coasters. Look at GG's website, they have small, medium and large coasters for design and construction.

However, if you are smart, youll take advantage of their new building techniques and build it larger. However, Ive found some of the best rides to be under 110ft.

I like the new pictures and like I said above I think it's great that you have assembled bents and L-beams on the ground. I'm looking forward to when they add the track in.

Ha, Yeah I decided to have a little fun with the construction. It also makes the thread more interesting for you guys.

BTW, the hight of the coaster is 112 feet.

Update 11-8

The track is coming along nicely, the hole has been dug for the first major tunnel. All footers for the remainder of the ride have been poured. Also some work has been started at the far end of the layout.

Yah I wonder what they'll be doing with that big ditch. Footers going in looks like a good sign too.

why upload saturday? If you wait until sunday, you get all week to get rates and get a medal. If you upload late saturday, you prolly wont get two rates right away.

Anyways, the ride looks great, i cant wait too see it
