I have a new wood-steel hybrid coaster that I am working on. I was wondering if anyone would like to test it or help me with custom bracing. Tell me which of these you would like to do and I'll e-mail you the track. If it is bracing I'll pm you with what I think needs some help. If I can get around to it I'll post some pics.


Bump...bump

well could "we" see the coaster before we decide to test just to give "us" an idea?

I ''could'' do some lateral bracing if I don't run out of time. But at least I can try...if you're interested pm me.

I've gotten my trackwork done. Now I need a little help with the name for my coaster. If anyone has some ideas I would like to hear them.

Ok for all of those who want to see my coaster I got some pictures up. It's not going to be a wood-steel hybrid. Just all wood cuz it looked better. Click here for the link.

i have the feeling it needs different side supports. Have you tried the sloped one yet?

Hmmmm. Well, I don't really want to get rid of the supports. Ish helped me with them and he did an awsome job.

I didn't really take a good picture of where he helped me. The turnaround was way undersupported. He added some extra bracing. And before you have a cow about the supports, Shivering Timbers has that support style and no one complains about it.


I'll add a picture of his supports.

Its an out and back for crying out loud. Its also in the style of Colossos at Heide Park and it has air that won't quit on the hills. Lets see how you like it when you get hit with some ejector over the hills.


Edit: Pictures are posted here.

And Frotch=what? You finnally got a title. I was wondering when you might.

well yours is still "Season Track Rider" Anyway a name it depends what kind of themeing (if your doing it) So without themeing maybe sumthin just like . . . Bandit but themeing wise it should be like a little haunted thing (i've never seen a haunted theme coaster on NL so you could be the first)

BTW: Frocth=Feet & Crotch (you know the smell of a gymnastics room, i dont do gymnastics its a joke between me and my friend)

I'm going to change my title at 200 posts. Hmmm I'm sure my little brother would laugh at Frotch. And do you know anyone who may want to do Haunted themed 3d's? I would probably also need an enviro with a dark colored blue black ground and dead trees.
