The Chiller - New B&M Floorless (POSTED!)

One last update today...

Just finished the 3ds tunnel after about 4 hours of work (bottom right,) did some more work on the lift hill supports/chain, and supported about another 5% of the coaster.




Supporting is now about 55% done, 3ds is now 100% done, and that leaves a grand total of maybe 6-7 hours of work left before I'll be ready to post this thing! I'm setting it for a release date of next Sunday, October 9th.

Good or not, it's so exciting to know that I'll finally be releasing an original coaster design again after 5 freaking years of nothing but projects ending up stuck in la-la land. I can't wait, even if I know I'm going to get nitpicked to death! [:D] I forgot how fun this was!

PROGRESS UPDATE, 10/8/11:

Just a quick update:
Supporting is now 95% complete.

I finished the actual coaster structure earlier tonight. So for all practical purposes, the coaster is done.

I also finished the detailing on the lift mechanisms, including the traditional B&M mini-platforms at the lift's top and bottom. That means that the very last things that I have to do are adding the supports that link the lift catwalks under the track, plus phalanges, and I'll be finished and ready to post this thing!

Maybe 1 hour of work is left, which means that I will be releasing it for 100% certain tomorrow night, probably some time around 10.

So, yeah, this was a short-lived topic, but nonetheless, I was just so excited about making my first non-contest coaster in like 5 years that I couldn't wait to share it. So thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions, and I'll see you tomorrow! I can't wait!

UPDATE:

Track has been posted!

You've got to work on your layout angles and things like that...that's one ugly layout you've got here. There are some enjoyable parts here and there, but the aesthetics of the design are terrible.
