Explorer [D249] Uploaded!

A hybrid woodie that I had pretty much given up on, but my brother (Bronx249) urged me to complete, so I did. I've spent the last week and a half cleaning it up.. terraforming, environment, foliage, and working on some custom supportwork/bracing; and there is still some work to be done. I am willing to send this to anyone who would like to test but I am to a point now where it would be nearly impossible to go back and edit (track especially). The turns still lack lateral bracing but diagonal bracing is nearing completion.

What do you think?

OMG. I SO WANT TO RIDE!!!!!!!!![:D]

I have to agree, that looks really neat.

Thanks Amatsu. And gforce you'll get your turn

Worked on lateral and diagonal supports today. How do they look?








The only ones so far I don't like. Is there anything that I can do to improve this? I feel like that since it's fairly forceful that high up it needs something.


Yes, the MCBR isn't completely straight. I kind of like it that way though. Is it very unrealistic?

Looking good but still needs some work. It is cool though!

Here's a POV. Sorry about the annoying watermark lol..



And I realize that there is a tree hit. It has since then been removed.

Interestingly I liked all of the little pumpy bits. They added some character and I think they were, in general, pulled off decently well!

It's why I generally much prefer wooden coasters to be hand built. By nature wooden coasters aren't perfect and I don't think you can reflect that easily in Newton.

I agree. I've never really liked Newton'ed woodies. They don't feel as authentic in my opinion as a hand built. And thanks AJ lol, even though I'm trying to keep them to a minimum.

Here are the 90 degree bracing structures that I worked on yesterday..



Compare with these:

There's not much more that needs to be done.. tomorrow is a possibility for an upload!

Looking awesome.

And yeah, I agree, using Newton for woodies isn't really the best idea, unless you're building an Intamin Woodie, of if you're really experienced with it.

Track is uploaded! Have fun and be sure to rate!
