Your stairs remind me of Gemini for some reason.

Weird, I didn't really base them off anything. I was just too lazy to go into detail on a full railing

Logo looks good RCT!

Thank Tallon for that! Just was until you see the actual logo

I have used that exact same font for a hyper coaster I worked on a while ago!

Sad face

Merry belated Christmas everyone! There is still a good deal of work to be done - but with the week off of school, if all goes well we could be looking at a New Year's release!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AWESOME huge thanks to several people in this update, listed below!

-Projektion - Awesome skybox, it looks amazing as a backdrop to this coaster!

1.

-TallonD83 - New logo design/car texture to go along with it!

2.

-My fellow SFFA team - General input and suggestions! The little pointers may seem small, but they're really helpful

So, what else is new? Let's find out!

I finally got around to using sketchup, so we now have a custom station! I went for a basic design for the ramps & railings, that's simple yet gets the job done . How'd I do for my first shot at 3d modeling?

3.

Adjusted entrance sign to fit new logo - but the original design by CoasterHero was still kept!

4.

Added in a little entrance to the park - complete with a turnstile gate from the Sketchup 3ds workshop . Still working on those path edges, don't worry!

5.

A lot of general scenery work has been going on as well, which is mostly done!

6.

And now to close off with just some general awesome poster shots. Which one is your favorite, including any of the ones posted above? The one with most votes goes up for Screen Shot Saturday! (EDIT: NOW NUMBERED!)

Wow! This is looking amazing! The new paths from sketchup make the whole park look so much cleaner. Also I love the Turnstile gate. Can't wait to see the finished project! Keep it up!

I vote for the 10th picture in the post (you should have numbered them!) Also, love the new logo. It goes great with my sign!

Fellow Premium Users! If you haven't noticed yet - the file on the early access thread has been updated to the most current version and is ready to be ridden/tested! Keep in mind it's not finished yet, there's still things to be ironed out, but if you do download it let me know what you think!
