The track layout isn't done yet, and it needs smoothing in quite a few areas, so, this project will be due out later this month.

Also, I will be busy, but, here's some teasers:

The colors make it look like De Zonderling, but that 90 degree (?) banked segment looks interesting. Hopefully another great woodie by Zoozer. Also, if you don't have any name ideas for this, just give me the word and I'd love to hand you some that fit the ride.

Haha, I realized the color thing when I was on the website. I changed them, but you won't see them till the new pics are available.

But if you could help with naming, that'd be great! ^.^

Here's a pic of the new color scheme and a hint at the layout:

Looks interesting. Make sure to check for wheels hits on that banked section of track.

I've taken the name Risenwood into consideration, but that might change depending on if I do steel supports or not.

The turn is gradual and not that snappy/sharp, (doesn't look so), but, I will check because I haven't even thought of that! [dunno]

But so far I can't stand the dark colors, and I might be changing the concept from a pure woodie to a Hybrid Steel due to the strong need of lateral bracing.

I have ideas for the finale, two actually, so I will post pictures of that when I've finished that area.

Also, smoothing is a pain, but it's going along great.

UPDATE!
Second-half of the ride complete! Check the link for pictures!

UPDATE!

I've finished the layout and smoothing is ALMOST done!

If anyone would like to test it, please send me or leave their e-mail for me and I'll get it to you ASAP. However, I won't be at home all day, so don't worry if you don't get it this afternoon.

I'm planning on doing a really intense custom station just for kicks and 100% custom lateral bracing. So, it'll be a while before I'm completely satisfied with this beast.

New picture of the final layout is up! So check it out!

UPDATE!

Smoothing is complete!

I'll be starting the supports today, but I probably won't be finished until sometime late this week.

However, I have a lot of stuff going on this upcoming week so progress will be slowing down. I'll be posting pictures of the completed track work and the simple supports soon, so get excited!

Work on the supports is going rather slowly, but, I've been researching so the supports should be coming on quickly.

Also, I'll be working on a car-texture because I think the ride needs to fit its element more! [^]

I think you should call it white hurricane.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

Haha so I guess you won't be needing support help, eh? [lol]

Anyway, in anticipation of the name changing again I really like Sharkwave...has the certain kick we all look for in roller coaster names [;)].

^ Haha, thanks. I needed something beachy/intense. So I combined sharks and waves and voila.

Anyways, lateral supports have begun, and from the pace, they won't be taking too long.

However, I have an arts festival Friday-Saturday that I'm attending and a concert (Edgefest) all Sunday so I won't be able to work on it till then.

But, it should be up sometime next week, so, get excited! :D

UPDATE!

Lateral bracing is almost finished across the lift. Just have to get those damn cross beams up and we'll be A-OK. Then it'll be the third air hill and then the turn around AND THEN the 90 degree banks.

PICTURES! w00t for lateral supports!

Not done:

UPDATE!

I'VE FINISHED LATERAL SUPPORTS![:p]

Now all I have to do is the custom station and add a few trees and VOILA!

The ride will be finished!

Pics will be up later tonight. I won't be home to upload them. [:p]

EDIT: Does anybody want to do a simple 3Ds station? And a sign?

I'm thinking of something like this:

It would be much appreciated!!
