This started off a long time ago as a really tall wild mouse. I had a basic outline of where I wanted the ride to be and a lift hill. When I was bored and looking through various rides I started but never finished I stumbled across this design. I realized the Euro Fighter would be perfect for the job and started building away.

basic track layout is done, along with block timing. It runs 8 trains many of which come rather close to each other during the different parts of the ride. Enjoy the Teaser image.

I can't realy say much yet. More pics needed. But your skills are improving from track to track, so this will be a good one.

I've got another teaser picture added. This time showing a section of it from the editor. The ride will also most likely be named after a favorite level of mine from the RTS classic, "Total Annihlation", Metal Heck was a small map that hosted many a great battles. I'm still debating over how to theme it if at all

Ok, another picture update, this time showing off the three different sets of lift hills I have used. Each is unique in its purpose.

Lift #1. A pretty short lift with the track after it intended to just freak out the riders. The track features some monents of odd banking and a small and quick ejector air. It leads right into the main lift.

Lift #2. Pretty much is strait up. A climb to the heavens in the middle of this tangled mess. How tangeled is it? The bulk of the ride is built withing a 120 x 120 square foot area. So riders experiance the screams of those before them during their climb.

Lift #3. Set in the middle of the ride, this element was born out of pure design necesity. I needed a way to bring the riders closer to the ground without all the G-forces. So the lift goes beyond vertical, towards the ground. Hanging rides by just their harnesses and the rush of forces once disengaged from the lift should bring a smile to anyones face.

My next update I'll actually reveal what the ride looks like, and I'd like to get some testers on the ride before I really start perfecting the track more and begin the long process of supports and themeing.

Enjoy the update.

Gouldy, does it really look all that hard?

Anyrate, I think I will take a few testers now to just ride it and give me their overall opinion on the ride. So I guess the first 4 people to ask to test will get it. Enjoy the update.

i hope u don't mind me sayin it here..

The ride. .well, what can i say? biggest pointless ride since my coaser Operation Braindead? I think it just went on and on... still its something like i would make, so good origionality, [lol]

To make it better... well, it was full of jerks.. every turn, ur really gonna have to smooth it out. It was prety slow just after the first lift hill...
The bit between the station and the lift hill could be more interesting.. maybe some theming, or just change the layout a bit.

Change the bit where u go upside down using a chain lift. maybe a brake that stops for a few seconds.. its just.. not right.

Okey, I'll make it short 'n sweet. Bumpy, bumps everywhere. Jerks pumping, that sort of thing. That downward lift is cool but not cool at the same time. It may be thrilling, but yeah, I agree with above, it is just not right. Smooth it, and you have yourself an incredible ride. Oh ya, good luck supporting... *Chuckles to himself*

They can be repetitive, but thats the design challange of building it along with making it compact and the supports. I donno why but I have a high fascination with multi block coasters where there is a few trains on the course at one time.

Unfortunatly I don't know of any forseable solution for the downward lift OTHER than shortening the height of the ride by a hella lot, and I dont see that as an option. Any ideas?
