Hey guys,

So for the past week or two i've been working on this new track! Track work is about complete but i have to go back and tweak a few things to make sure all the forces will be in check. The layout is what i like to think of as a compact custom B&M Invert. As i built, i kept going back a lot and changing the layout until i got it right. I'm now currently going through support work which will take some time and probably help from you people on the chat. As supports and environment get closer to completion i will update you guys. I wont release it until i know everything is the way i want it. Being a perfectionist on this one.

Big shout out to Turbo! If you guys don't know, he has got some wicked skills when it comes to making scenery out of supports! I asked him to build me a storage shed for my ride and it came out amazing. He also helped me with track work ideas and will hopefully keep helping me through this support work and finishing details. Go check out his stuff in the forums and his rides on the exchange.

Looks great, reminds me of Banshee, specifically because of the colors.

Looks really sick man! My only complaint looking at it would be the first half being a lot longer than the post MCBR track (without knowing whats happening underground!) But I think the prelift track will help with the stacking and such! First drop into the immelman looks pretty heavy!

@TTD03 Might be a little Banshee inspired haha but i think banshee is a brighter purple

@mkingy You'll have to ride to see whats underground! lol but yes the spacing between the blocks actually works out well with the track between the station and lift and the length of track before and after the MCBR. The second half is shorter but its not a straight run to the final brake run

Didn't expect more than a "thanks man" lol, you're very welcome and I'm glad you're enjoying it. What else do you want help with?

Started off with the idea for a great bear color scheme but leaned towards a lighter purple but didnt like either of the support colors on the bear or banshee

Fun fact: Banshee just broke the record for longest B&M Invert with 4124ft of track... Raven will crush that record with and extra 317ft of track and a grand total of 4441ft of track

Looks great! It doesn't really remind me of Banshee much at all... I mean, the colors are some what similar but not similar enough to call them exact (but of course, that's my opinion) Like I said it looks GREAT but, it looks rather "spread out" if you're calling a compact. Lol

I think you should have a vertical support on the 0G personally - thats all I can see that'd I would change so far!
