There's the lead out. I think it looks similar to the picture I showed before, so I am keeping it.

Huge Update:



So, I finished my final version of the layout and hope to start supporting soon. I am still looking at Gerstlauers and studying their support design so I hope to get working on it tomorrow.

Here are some new pictures:

The loop as shown before:

The tophat is wider and more realistic:

The 0-G roll is still not 0-gs and still gets you floater air:

I have quick transitions at the end again:

Please tell me if you like it, or if it is well shaped or any other thoughts or questions you may have.

IMO you didn't had to edit the widthness of the tophat. Wider tophat isn't really that realistic, since it's a short car. You can have a tight tophat. Maybe you could have decreased the angle from going in a bit on the old version from the top hat.

Not really floater air but more like hangtime. Tighten the curve or maybe add more speed through that roll.

I am going for more of the Anubis type ride. Check this out:

The Gerstlauer Launching Coaster Trains are not available with No Limits so I had to use The Euro Fighter Trains.

I want that feeling so that the adrenaline can be boosted. I added some negative force in Newton so I could get that affect. It's just a personal opinion of mine that it is more fun [:)]

EDIT 3/9/10:

After a long time I am back on this ride again. The layout is more of an out and back layout because I wanted a little bit moree of my own design in it rather than I have my final layout complete and I am on the supports. However, I am not sure if the supports are good. I will get to the flanges soon. What do you think of the supports on the top hat?

^Thank you. If I can figure out a way to convert sketch-up files to 3DS. I will try 3ds, otherwise, I will try supports to create my scenery.
