Boosterbike Recreation

[Dirk_Ermen]

Next to my other projects i've been working on this one too lately. From very long ago i was thinking to create a recreation but i never really thought about which coaster. After some research i found out there weren't really any decent recreations from the boosterbike. Eventually i've measured the basic sizes in Google earth and put down a layout. The whole ride is build out of own experiences and tons of pics i've usually shot during the ride. According to rcdb.com the track is 600m (1968ft) long and it launches at a speed of 75km/u (46mph). Out of my sources i know that the launch isn't any faster than 19,8m/s so 71,28km/u (44mph) [:)]

The tracklength is 600m (1968ft) exact. The track is reasonable smooth in my eyes. Only some supporting left and i'm considering to do some 3d work too [:)]
Here some screenshots of the current state:

the 'brakes' at the end aren't brakes, they're actually magnets that slow the train down, but not stop it, and there are also tyres on the end of the run, but i see that you've included that already.
as for the color, very close, perhaps a slighty lighter.
To the trackwork, the piece of track from the horseshoe to the helix is not that straight as you have it, the'res a bit more twist in it
