I decided to give this one a go again.

I have scrapped this coaster several times, but I think now I'm going to give it one last try at finishing it. The tentative name is still Valley View, and once again I rebuilt it. I just keep getting new ideas about how I want this coaster to be. Here is the most recent shot of the ride; I'm sticking with this layout no matter what this time. The coaster has two lift hills and I'm planning on running two trains (maybe even three, I don't know yet).

Looks like you will have a lot of wasted speed that will have to be braked hard before the second lift. Are you sure that two lifts would really be necessary? If you have loads of speed there before that 2nd lift, why not run it out with a few more hills, a helix maybe, and hit the final brakes back to the station? This way, you can get the experience on designing and get some comments that might help you out? To me, it just seems like a waste to have a second lift in a coaster that looks this short. I don't want to discourage you at all my friend, just my advice from the peanut gallery.

Mhm TCon, I agree with him. Or, you could make the first section a little smaller with same amount of hills, and than make the second lift a "woah-how-did-that-get-there-it's-so-big" type of finale! Either way, it does look like it will have some fun spots, but it's way too small of a layout for a coaster which clearly will take on some serious speed...

It's not finished yet. The section you see is only about 1/3 to 1/2 of the coaster. I have much more building to do.[;)]

I will try to get another picture uploaded this evening. I'm at work right now so I don't have access to NL here. I definitely want some of you guys to test this before I post it for rates. I think I might have something nice here and I don't want to fudge it up.
