Intamin Coaster

Here is my newest project I have been working on. Trust me, this will be way better than Tsunami. I've already spent 6 days on trackwork and may need 1 more day. I have started supporting in these pics so you can see the full color sheme. If you have any suggestions please dont be affraid to comment them.

Cant show the end cause there is a surprise at the end...(Its not really a surprise its just really unique)

Im guessing you are using lots of geometry shaped track? Like curved geometry and straight geometry? In order to build a realistic track, i would advise playing with and then using single force zones, and eventually figuring out multi-force zones. That way you will be able to shape the track in practically any smooth flowing or twisting shape you want!

^ This. Curved and straight geometry are mostly just for simple elements like lift hills.

Speaking of lift hills, yours is much too steep for the height, (The exit I mean) and consequently has a wierd shape. I imagine something like this is what you were going for: http://www.rcdb.com/m/3799.htm?p=22548

Your first hill is also too circular, it should be parabolic. I can't quite tell from the angle you posted, but the turn under the lift hill looks like it doesn't have enough banking during the exit. But most of these problems will fix themselves if you work out force based geometry.

Your lift hill supports look very uneven, some much closer together than others. This also led to some of them being too close to the track below. You don't even need that many on a track of this height, see how sparingly they're used in the link I posted.

Also, I wouldn't use 4 tube on the whole track, Intamin tend to vary it a bit and mostly use 3 or 2 tube on a ride this size.

Thanks for all of the advice. I kept most of it as is but I did fix the supports. I feel stupid that i didnt see that. Now the ride is mostly done but I am trying to find a program or something that i can edit pictures on. Like adding words to the screenshot and doing like a photo collage. If you have any ideas I would highly appriciate it.
