comments/critisism appreciated. i know theres a hell of alot of tweaking to do. also color scheme and name ideas to . i know im not the best desinger on this site but hopefully woth your guys help ill be way up there! [;)]

Looks great, can't wait to see this on the exchange!

Yeah! I'm with alton. Looks like a bang-up job!

thanks hopefully putting it on the forum will help keep up my motivation to keep it going . probly a new update in a couple days.(school starts in a week plus clothes shopping)

uh... yeah. looks fantastic... look, the guys above are clearly being sarcastic. the shaping is absolutely atrocious. you need to basically rethink this entire ride man... i hate to be harsh, if you need help let me know, but this needs some work for sure...

Well I actually very much enjoy the layout because I haven't seen a coaster use that order of elements before. It'll be a really cool ride if you execute it well.

Ok then, ignoring the terrible shaping the layout is just uninspired. The element sequence is nothing special, but even worse is how everything is straight and at perfect right angles. It just looks like an RCT import.

Sorry to be harsh, but tmv8888 is right, you need put some more thought into the basic layout before you start thinking about smoothing and heartlining.

well ill see what i can do but withschool coming up its not like i have alot of free time on my hands...

Dude, you don't need a lot of free time to make a good layout. It takes the same amount of time as it did to make this one, but take the advice! That's one of the reasons you made this thread, isn't it?

^ You make a good point... I feel like a Hipocrit now. [:(]

Not ALL but MOST of the layout has changed. Also color scheme is different. I decided to name it phantom/ Spirit. I will take name suggestions. Anyways time for pictures!

Again ignoring shaping, the layout of the second half (the stuff in the foreground of your second pic) looks alright (although the hill needs to be lower and the entrance/exit to the turnaround is wayyyy too long), but the first half is still really square and boring. Try and capture some of that more twisty feel you managed to do better in those final elements, and put that into the first part of the ride. You do that and it will be a big improvement to this track.
