Here's a new ride I'm working on at the moment. The trackwork was mostly created with Newton and I've started with the supports and scenery. As of now its unnamed.

^ I noticed, but I didn't know what else to put in that place as a replacement so I decided to keep it.

wow man this looks awesome so far. i love the loop around the drop. very kumba-ish. also, i kinda like how this is unique. the roll before the drop is sweet, and i like that double down in the last pic too.

^ [lol]

I've created an environment for the coaster, but for some reason one of the corners isn't really 'seamless' looking even though the images used to create them are (see below). Does anyone know why that is happening.

^ Sorry, but your reputation as a tester precedes you, so no. Thanks for the offer though.

No photo's! We want to see screenshots! [lol]

Really nice environment so far. I like it! If you didn't told me about that seam, I wouldn't even have noticed it.

^ Okay, I won't mention it any more. [lol]

Since I'm not doing much with it at the moment (waiting for a response from my other testers), I though I'd treat you all to a screen shot (not photo lol).

It seems to be overflowing with out of place barrel rolls...

...You could've chosen something that doesn't already occur three times in your layout. A helix would have been spectacular.

I realise that 3 barrel rolls is a bit excessive, so I tried to make make them each different in nature. A helix probably would have fit in there well but the ride I've kind of 'concreted' the element in now so there is little I can do about it. I'll try and make my next ride more varied to make up for it.

As for the test offers, I'll send the track to you all tomorrow. I don't have the time at the moment. ;)

EDIT: Sent.

EDIT2: The ride is pretty much finished, now I'm just waiting for responses from my testers so I can do some final tweaks and stuff. Most likely the ride will be released next Sunday so hang in there.

Okay, I've tried re-sending the email to you. I've also PMed all the testers with the file just incase they can't receive the email.

EDIT: Ride released!!!
