Splash!

alright. any problems feel free to ask, the track is COMPLETELY hand built, except, of course the built in 1.6 smoother was used.[peakhill]

Also, a nice title image later would be nice if someone would be willing to make one :D

First picture, that little swerve transition banks right very early. I can feel laterals from looking at it. The immelman captured in the fourth picture looks ugly to me, unless you fish-eyed it or use F7 a few times in the simulator.

I shudder when I look at the entrance to the splashdown section. Is that a severe pump I see?

Cool station. Maybe different color?

The Immelman in the fifth pictures also starts banking out a little early in my eyes.

Awwwe, man. C'mon. Let's try to pull away from immelmans on a Diver in the future? That's disgustingly repetitive these days. I would've loved a little more originality in the layout. I mean loops, even diving loops would be great on a Diver of this magnitude.

4-Skyrush | 5-Iron Rattler | 6-X2 | 7-Kingda Ka
8-Voyage | 9-Maverick | 10-Monster

I will gladly make a title image for you. Just give me a name, and the track, and I'll get on it.

No Problem. I'll also do a cartexture if you want one.

I tried out a logo.

I removed a support, the station turnaround, the catwalks that you can see through the track, the underground texture and the sky. It took me like 2 hours. but it was fun.

BTW, Venus isn't the official name, I just tried to come up with a concept.

looks good, i think that it will be a very good ride with lots of 3D's. lol, i think i just said that because i love 3D's. lol, but yea.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Rides up! After many slow months of slow work on the ride, it's done and I'm very happy with it.
