This project is looking really interesting and I'm digging the concept. Maybe I'll go ahead and reainstall NoLimits for this beauty, look's like it's worth it.

Blah blah, more supports. I think I'll be done today if I work all day (some life I have). I'm going to wait untill sunday to post though. Jake is making a station for me and someone else is doing a cartex.

Alright, took this thing for a longer ride after I got back tonight and was angry at how hard I had to look for a mistake. There are some lateral supports that need to be built yet, (in the version you sent me earlier,) that's obvious. But there was one spot I was concerned with. The final full helix where the track goes -too low- to the ground where you had to fully customize the supports is the spot I'm speaking of. The supports under there are definately not going to hold it up. The train would be in the hillside in no time. So lets see some steel right there. Other than that, this ride feels really solid. Fast pace in the beggining, even faster in the end. Laterals that push the edge, airtime that'll put your stomach in heavan. Man, I haven't seen such a good wood from you since Venice Queen. I'm surprised you've managed to out do yourself with this one. Congratz and keep at it mate.

^I've been testing it too and all I can say is that it's one hell of a ride.

Thanks both of you guy. Yea IronMan that low spot is a real pain. I should have planned ahead for it, but at the point when I started to work with the supports on it, I couldn't move the whole track up a few feet.

Your lateral supports look great. And that steelie, wow, can't wait to see that one up on the site. That crazy hill and turn looks great. Hopefully I can learn something from you supports to use if I build more in the future.

If that area is still even a little questionable, you could always just move the terrain down a half a meter or so just in that one spot. Or you can make a 3D's ditch there. That'd be a nice touch.

I think i've got it all fixed up. I can't move the terrain down because the water will pop up.

Still, it's possible to put some steel under the track there and it be just fine. It'll work out no problem.

One is for posting, and the other is what I post my tracks with. Just an badass alter ego thing I started a long time ago. lol. Its cleared with the staff. If I could've done it over I wouldnt have done it.

Sharing what I wrote in a PM about this ride:

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude! That was a freaking ride and a half!! You have definitely earned my respect on that one man ... it was just awesome. I think it is safe to say that you have learned the "way of the wood"!

Gar, that was just freaking wonderful man.
Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.
