The colors remind me of wildfire.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

Plz let me know what u think of the supports

Maybe if you take the time to write a full intelligable sentence more people may care.

And so I don't look like a flaming ass, here's what I think. The supports looks as if you've put a lot of work into them, props for that, but they look like they are on hinges. Show me a real life example of supports that look like those and I'll be more lenient. As for now, they look incredibly silly.

As for the track, most of it looks really random. Which can be good in some cases, but generally it's better if you keep some sort of structure to your rides. And if you were going for a B&M style, you've fallen off the edge of the map here. Best thing about the track though, is this roll. I do have to comment though, check the outside seats, especially the right side, for high laterals coming out of it. The element un-rolls high and, from this angle at least, looks like the heartline isn't quite perfect.

I got the idea of making supports like this from Wing-Over's, Black Halo. My supports r just a little less 3dish than his.

From my experience it seems that only the dive coasters use that horizontal bar, possibly for the extra weight of the wide trains. I would suggest going to a more basic style with just a bar and a medium/size 2 tube track connection.

Also, there is no need to have the extra cross bracing on the lift hill supports. If you look at B&M's in that size range they do not have cross bars. I'd really only use those for Intamins.

I sugest not to make suppots based on a diver if you are building a floorless. Go and look at some pictures of real B&M floorless supports. The trackwork and layout don't look very good.

Im almost done, I just have to fix the flanges. I use the auto flanger and it gave me way to many flanges and they also dont line up right with the diagonal supports so i got to fix them.[:D]
