Does this look wide enough for the crest of an elevator lift hill for a giga coaster with 9 cars per train?

No, it looks like the negative g's would be too extreme for the riders in the far back of the train, especially with such a steep drop.

Why do you have a MCBR? I'd consider omitting...I think only two modern Intamins have one (Ispeed and T-Express) and those are a completely different style than the one you're going for.

Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

I need help for a color scheme though. I want to release it around Christmas with a dark theme(like the movie Black Xmas), but I need your opinions on that. Should I stick with the color scheme I have(first picture below), or should I use the second color scheme(second picture below), or should I alter one of the color schemes?

to be honest both of those color schemes arent very good. it would probably look better if you made the track a solid color, and not have the rails colored differently. this would make it look more like an intamin

Well give me some suggestions for a color scheme then [:p] I want something about Christmas, but I want it to revolve around the dark side of Christmas

try making the supports one of the dark colors you used on the track in the second picture and the track the other. i'm not sure how this will look but it might turn out looking more like an intamin

Black track. Red supports (Dark, almost burgundy). Dark green train.

Color scheme has been decided and the theming is staying the same, which is based loosely on the fame of Hollywood. Supporting is halfway done. Time for the more complex, boxed giga coaster style supports which will be a painstaking process >.<

I was planning to do Millenium Force style lift supports, but after trial and error, I can't get it to work out due to the angle of the first drop, it's height, and the track below it. I may just have to come up with Intimidator 305 style supports for the lift >.<

those first couple hills look vicious- but in a good way...

Right now I'm trying to find a better video editing program. Since I've switched over to Windows 7 after finishing Buck, my Windows Movie Maker was erased in the upgrade. I downloaded the newest WMM compatible with Windows 7, but it's quality is crap compared to what I had. So please, somebody suggest an easy to use, but good video editing program. I've tried Sony Vegas and found it too hard at points.

I've decided that due to me being really busy in the next few weeks to go ahead and push the release date for my ride forward by a week. I plan to release this ride this Sunday!
