"Ravenous" GCI (Update 10/6 - 1/20)

This is still, all LeFlo's fault. But that's okay. And I still, thank him.

1/20/11 About a week after creating the thread, Windows XP, just ceased to work. A failed .dll kernel. Whatever that is. I didn't have a job at the time, so I am barely getting my PC fixed and I should have it up and running sometime next week.

Bad news is this: I am going to lose all my tracks, pics, music, programs, etc. My dumbass failed to back up my system. Hence, I'm losing this track. And my reg Key from NL will be lost, so I have to re-buy.

But I do plan on starting a new layout, taking your feedback in mind. The last layout was a bit too tight, so I came across a lot of supporting issues as you can see from the pics. Queue areas, lift, crossovers, etc. The layout will be very similar and possibly longer. I'm going to try a few different longer than normal pre-lift sections.

I will post additional updates asap. Thanks for the community support.


General Stats:

Length - ??? ft
Height - ??? ft
Drop - ??? ft
Speed - ??? mph

I wish I cold test but I'm away for 5 days from tomorrow on,so...
Anyway,it looks not bad at all,but it seems like everybody wants to build a GCI now,looks like LeFlo set a trend!

That layout look actually really nice with the supports and the layout finished !

^Thank you LeFlo, however, the supports are not anywhere near done yet. I've never supported a wood coaster, so I'm using the basic auto support and adding bracing.

Here's what I've done to the queue entrance.



Path under the lift, bracing extends into the station walls, so the path is clear.

I think it looks ugly. Try to do something else, I just don't think that looks good at all...

Why do you have to put the path there?

^Bad designing. That's how.

Anyhoo, I lost that complete track and will be starting fresh. What I may do is, create the queue paths first to make sure I don't run into the same problem as last time. Just keep in mind, it is my first attempt at making a realistic, but unique, GCI coaster.

Just to let you know, you do not have to re-buy if you lose your info. Just e-mail the NL team with your Info (Name, Adress, E-mail Adress) and they can send you your Reg Code as well as a new download link. I have done this quite a few times, because I tend to get a new computer often, and I never back anything up because I'm lazy..lol.
