Lately, I have been working on an inverted coaster. It has two inversions and many intense elements. I have just started supporting. Here are some pics


Here is the first element, partly non inverted batwing. The first half is not inverted but the second half is a normal immelmman.

i wonder in nl2 if you can stretch the crossbars tighter or more space anyway?

I think if you put many style separators really close together, the crossties get closer together. I might be wrong though.

The left is the regular version and the right is the stlyle-separated version. Although they are not closer spaced, the style separators create more track connectors and arrange the crosstie structure in a different structure. Weird...

That's the only downfall. I wish they'd let you set the spacing in the style editor

Yeah, perhaps something to add to the wishlist?

Looks good however, the first element is interestingly shaped to say the least!

Perhaps, add it on to the other 100+ things to add in the future :P
I'm estimating we will see that feature in about 5 years :P

I actually would like to show you guys the POV of the batwing element, just to give you a taste of the ride's interesting shaping

The environment is nicely done. Love how it winds through the terrain.

I was bored of supporting so I started making a queue line. What do you think?

I hope that's not the whole queue lol

Other than being short looks good so far :)

Well since that this is an Inverted Impulse complete circuit coaster thing, and since there is only 1 other complete circuit one still in operation today, that being Volcano, and since that line gets very long, I would suggest you make your queue line be able to hold up to 3 hours of riders :P

That's a good way of looking at it. I haven't even thought of that!

Make sure to randomly place stupid tents in the queue.
