I am currently underway on my newest ride, Kepos. It is a completed version of Real's floorless test coaster on the scrapyard, and it will feature 2 additional inversions, elaborate supporting, and theming of a greek garden with a fountain, interaction between walkways and the track, and a complete park environment. This will likely be my first LONG term project, and I amprojecting a release around 3 months from now, we'll see. Here are some pics: http://nldc.interfix.net/p213 , trackwork is complete as well as smoothing and subtle terraforming, supports are now underway. I plan on supporting the whole thing and then adjusting supports where neccessary for the 3ds and any additional terraforming. The station building is already planned, it will be a greek style building with columns and an almost Roman look, also it will feature custom gates, a qeue line that will interact slightly with the ride and also roam around a beautiful courtyard, and the building will also be quite large with an atrium in the middle-ish. Enjoy the pics!

It sounds very interesting and quite impresive so far, I can't wait to see some of those 3ds.

oh, you might want to add a space between that link you gave and the comma so the link directs users to the proper site, instead of a 404 page ;)

Yeah man gnarley! That looks like something I'd build. I had got some plans ready at the moment with a high topped corkscrew like that over the chainlift, but you got there first hehe. I think this looks really good, this is exactly my sort of ride. Can't wait for this one e-man!

Actually, Real got there first with the Cork over lift, LOL. That is part of the track he uploaded to the scrapyard, though I did happen to have a just begun track with the same thing, which is partly why I decided to build off of the track done by Real.

Calm down Android, lol you can still upload your version, now it just has some competition [lol]. Anyway, looks like a stunning layout and it seems to me to be VERY original, and there arent even 3Ds yet.

http://nldc.interfix.net/p213 3 more pics, supporting is going slowly for now as I have had very little spare time, next week the progress should quicken a bit, expect the supports to be done by next week, at which point I will make the station and then add the wlakways, onride themeing, and then the park around the ride.

Wow it really looks stunning, the track looks smooth and the layout is totally oringinal. The colors could be more wild, but I would not downrate for an opiniontive detail.

Where did you exactly take off from me? I cant remember...what, like after the zero g?

Yea that was one of my more creative tracks, but it just didnt have whatever it was that I was looking for at the time. The cork over the lift is the centerpeice of this ride for sure.

Yea, after the zero-g, you made a turning esit and then a gently turning hill into the mcbr, so I deleted the turning hill up and turned the zero g's turning exit into a smooth entry to the cork. And yea, that cork over the lift is awesome. Especially after I add 3ds. [;)]
