Nostalgia by jensenator finally posted!

Yeah some lateral bracing wouldn't hurt. By the way its looking awesome. It really is coming together nicely.[approve]

[Turbo]

I think that having at least some side bracing would do you some good as well

yeah, i do plan on putting up some bracing. so of the low turns need it. im also thinking about putting a cover on the turnaround on the opposite side of the lift hill side. the other two turnarounds are covered, so i think that one needs it as well.

EDIT: ok, heres some bracing i worked on. me and mike looked at some real woodies today to get ideas. what do you people think?







Comparable to something kind of like this:

Really now?
Did you play show and tell?

^[lol] Also way to post the same picture coasterpimp.

^ coasterpimp, thats the picture i compared it to in that link. thats what i based mine off of, lol.
EDIT: you beat me supercell, lol.

and come on now lewis, hahaha.

Sorry, I had too.

haha, i knew it was coming after i posted it. its all good, lol.

You should know I don't click on links that much.

haha, its alright man, not a problem! [:D]

ya so about that bracing lol, apparently you all missed the question. I think it looks good, but i'm no expert.

haha, thanks mike.

UPDATE: due to a very busy weekend coming up, helping my ex step dad move saturday, and mine and my girlfriends 3 month sunday, i dont think my ride will be up till next sunday. i dont want to rush what i have left to do. so yeah, thats about all i have to say as for now.

Try to make the support planks lie on the support structure like this-

It will be more realistic.

oh, instead of going threw the thick wood supports? yeah, that would look better! good tip man. ill work on that as well thanks!

Actually, make the supports connecting to the footer in the center bigger like in the picture, it will look more neat and substantial.

like this?







how is that man? i think this is what you were talking about at least, lol.

I don't think you need the opposite slanting ones in the middle.

the ones that go to the ground? cause i was looking at that one picture and it did have some going to the ground at the bottom, but i dont know. keep them or get rid of them?

EDIT: or should i make the ones going to the ground thick beams like the outside ones i changed?

You need to make the bottom center beams bigger and not slanted. You should add one or two more rows of beams on the ground as well. It looks rather weak.

I'd say take away the beams that go to the ground the opposite way of the rest of the structure and add another level in between the wide and under track supports. (if that makes sense)

ok, how does this look? i thought it looked more complete this way. and i also can see now how weak it looked before.







better yet? haha.

oh, and sorry for all these little updates, just want to make sure im doing everything right, thanks people!!!

My god that looks amazing. Now why the hell didn't you do that in the first place!? [lol]

haha, thanks! and im not sure why. mike was doing supports for his woodie and he just had the straight down cable type look, so i tried to make something like that, but this looks so much better! it looks a lot more complete to me now. thanks for making me realize how weak it looked before hand, lol.

So I have been extremely busy lately. Had to move into my sister and brother-in-laws apartment. My mom was moving down to North Carolina and I wasn't about to move that far away. Anyway, I'm nearing the completion of my ride. Here is just a picture of the color change and the station. Likes, dislikes?



EDIT: Yes there is a board on the side of the station near the bottom that isn't red that should be. I'll fix it, lol. But you guys can easily get the idea of it all, haha.

It's all good
