Wow, I barely can't believe it myself since it's been a while that I'd actually build something serious and decent in a while!

I'm currently finishing off a nice classic out 'n back wooden rollercoaster.
Some small stats:
Positive g's: Around 3.5g
Negative g's: Around -1g
Lateral g's: Around 1.5g maximum.
Height: 25.9m (85ft)
Length: 836.36m (2744ft)

The colors arn't final yet. IMO this color is a bit too much brownish white. I'll probably end up more towards white itself. Or do you guys think that I should go more towards the classic woodish brown?

I can't imagine it speeding through the turnarounds. How fast is it going, they look tight, and it would be a shame if it went slow, but that's just my opinion.

As for color, most definitely brown, nothing light but not too dark either.

Are you going to add any tunnels and all that stuff?
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

Top speed: 75km/u (46.6mph)
Lowest Speed Turnaround 1: 28km/u (17.4mph) (Lats: 0.6-1.1)
Lowest Speed Turnaround 2: 38km/u (23.6mph) (Lats: 0.7-1.3)

Tunnels: I haven't thought about that. Maybe i'll add a tunnel somewhere. But i'll probably add those as last.

And meanwhile it's like 2 weeks further. And I barely did work to it. I did change the color to something brown and changed a little bit on the turnarounds.

Take a look at the 2 screens:

First turnaround, Lowered the 2nd part for a double down.

2nd turnaround. Lowered in overall height to increase speed.

Nice looking old style out n back coaster.
The brownish white looks better than the brown.
