Mine of Rebus ~ Construction Thread

Hello everyone! Lately I have been working on a new coaster called 'Mine of Rebus'. This project was started a while ago, but it's only been recently that I've picked it back up in preparation for a full finish. This will be considered one of my biggest projects of all time, and surely my best. I already have a complete track, a lot of scenery and a good storyline in place (that won't fully be released yet). So far, I've been working on this project for around a month, yet I've taken a break on it to only resume it a few days ago.


The story takes place in the peaceful village of Barakiel. One end of the village was where the civilians lived, while the other end was where the resources were gathered from. The good ole mines were known for many mysteries, and due to a recent disappearance of 6 miners, the shafts have been closed for good. Three months after the incident, safety workers have inspected the tunnels to find no evidence of the miners, leaving to the only conclusion that there must have been a collapse in the mines leading to their disappearance. Shaft 5 was where they were last seen, and has been closed ever since to avoid any more inconveniences. Since then, myths have gathered around telling tales about the dangers of Shaft 5, and how anyone who dares to seek the truth, finds themselves lost within the mines for all eternity. Will you find the light at the end of the tunnel? Or end up never to be seen again? The fate is in your hands in this thrilling dark-ride adventure.

Stay tuned for more updates, I can't wait to hear what you guys think!

Looks amazing so far! To be honest im not really a fan of the track colors/environment. They seem to blend together. Maybe something that makes it pop more such as a darker environment (May fit the theme better as well). Looking forward to seeing more!

Theming and everything looks cute. I like it!

@BlaseRhine - Thanks a lot! I'm currently messing around with other environments, but I enjoy this one because of the way it makes everything blend together. I also like the gloomy environment

@Coasterkidmwm - Thanks, I appreciate it. Theming isn't supposed to be cute tho, be spooked. lmao

Looks very good!

Is that track on the background of the second screenshot meant to be indoor or is that another outdoor section?

That is supposed to be part of an indoor section, I haven't gotten much done over there yet.

Hey guys! I'm back with another (somewhat) big update. Lately, I've been working on making everything look nice and fixing up previous problems that people have already mentioned before. In specifics: I have changed the wood on the buildings to a much better texture, yet some unwraps don't look very good, so I'm going to have to fix that up later this week when I have a chance. New signage has also taken place for the ride, which you can also see below. Lastly, I've taken Flux's rocks into massive consideration, and have been using them frequently for this ride. Without further ado, here's the pictures of the recent additions!



Signage taken place in the park!



I'm very happy with how this area came out, much better than the terrain hill I had before.



Some more rocks on the opposite side of the building



Overview of the area, where you can see the new building textures in place, but obviously not to their best advantage in some places.


Lastly... A more hidden area of the ride, beautiful and secretive, as some may call it.



Stay tuned for more updates!

Really liking the environment! Keep the updates coming!

^^ Wow I love how you put this track - it reminds me of "Mystery Mine" at Dollywood, but with plenty of trees and an appealing waterfall! Those plants are, I think, making this attraction stand out!
