Some of you might remember one of the first tracks I posted on this site. It was certainly no good coaster, but hell it was fun.
The dimensions were ridicoulous, and the number of inversions even more.
The ride, a B&M Looper, was set on an tropical island and raced down the terrain hitting inversion after inversion. Because I couldn't think of a better name, I named it Tropical Something.

Tropical Something II had a similair setting and tons of inversions. Unfortunately, it was lost/delete/fled.

Now, the jungle island is back and this time a crazy B&M hyper is being build on it. Although the trackwork itself is pretty realistic, the setting won't be.

dude. that drop speeding into that turn wrapping around the island, or in better terms, the third picture, is AWESOME!!! looks... sexy.
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.

Lifthill-support colors are subject to change.

I like the way you did your lift supports, but I think it would look a bit better if the purple went on for a few more structures, or transition over a few beams. Right now it just looks a little weird. I have to say both color combos look great though, and really go with the environment and theme.

I agree with Vid. You should move the others over a tad and have another set of poles, then it will be perfect.

I absolutely love the way it looks. That first turn is beastly, the colors are hot, and the island is beautiful. I just hope it rides well...

Yeah, there are a few section of track that look iffy. The ride itself is coming along beautifully though. And I agree with the others, the transition into that overbank turnaround needs another support structure.

I like the light blue. It goes well with the theme.

Maybe try navy blue lift supports? If not then the bottom right.

If you're going for a stand out color that goes with the tropical theming I'd use the bright orange ones. But thats just my opinion.
