2g Acceleration? I think you would want to lower that a bit

Why? Hydraulic launches have quite a bit of force..

Definitely. TTD pulls 1.5ish. I think the strongest launch in the world (Dodonpa?) is 2.1G.
These numbers are from calculations I did when figuring out how fast to launch my own rocket.

Supporting has begun and i finished the building and cable connections and crap on the launch. And i managed to create a really unsafe looking head chopper that turns out to be completely safe.

Lookin good, buddy! Not too sure how much I like the colors, but hey, that's your call.
Also, could you get a screenshot from the same angle as the SR photo? It'd make it easier to compare that way.

I like how everything looks, but the launch is too much. How fast are you going on this ride? 60mph? I would feel much more comfortable with 1.25 - 1.4.

Well the launch currently is 1.6 gs and it needs to be that much otherwise it looks like a magnetically launched coaster.

^^ My tophat is different than storm runners though, so it wouldnt be a good comparison. Almost all intamin tophats are different except for excelterator stealth and ect.

I mean look at this-

U see what i mean? There is quit a bit of leniency as far as tophats go.

How is yours different from storm runners? I understand that there are shaping discrepancies among intamin top hats, but I don't see any difference between yours and storm runners. It seems as though you intentionally copied SR's shaping.

Oh, absolutely not. I was mostly wondering why he couldn't just show us a different angle.

Well it isnt EXACTLY but its close enough to be realistic.

Anyways ive finished supporting and am almost done with the 3ds station and entrance area. I also changed the support color to a more silver looking color (not grey but silver). Everything is almost done and i will upload tomorrow most likely. No more updates here, you will just have to wait and see tommorrow!
