It seems really cool...but at the same time I'm on the fence when it comes to the style and track shaping. I'm not 100% convinced it's a Rocky Mountain coaster...and if it isn't, I'm not sure what style you were going for. A lot of it looks like Intamin, but I don't think they'd really need (or want) to use the topper track.

I guess basically...I like what I see overall, I just don't completely believe it yet, at least without a more thorough description. I hope that makes sense lol.

I can always change it to an intamin.. If you want i can send u the track and you can test it/decide. Honestly, the reason I used topper track is because it hasnt been made yet and its kind of a clean canvas as far as realism. I just have trouble seeing intamin doing the kind of twists that my ride takes. IT would definately put alot of stress on the tracks.

Edit- Im tentatively changing this to a prefab for the time being.

I'm assuming that you'll be switching to a 3-bench train then? You'll want to be careful, because they pace very differently. Try switching off improved friction as well, because it seems to pace a bit more realistically. Looks cool though, hopefully you'll be darkening the tunnel a bit.

Not that hard. It's under options or something. I could tell you for sure if I had NL in front of me. Definitely don't keep improved friction on.

It'd be cool to check it out, but I can't really accept knowing how busy I will be for a while. This week alone I have work 9-5 M-F, 4 baseball games, 1 practice, 3 nights of salsa, and Hersheypark. It's a bit much lol.

I think it looks great, not every track needs to be a replica of a certain design firms work. This could always just be your own thing.
YES!

I modified the shape to be more topper track style. It rides great and looks nice so this officially topper track.

Also, I realized that the autosupports have the same shape as I was planning on building, so I found a process of changing all the horizontal and diagonal beams to flat beams and it really looks nice. I only tried it on this area though because it is mildly time consuming. Its simply more efficient than placing the entire structure myself, in which I would quickly loose interest.

I will be doing some custom supporting here and there though. Most notably on the lower turns.

That looks really cool!

Are you going to add some... Strange... But cool elements on this coaster?

It deffo looks nice, but I think if the tunnels were "tighter"(only if Tunnel test allows that), it would look even better.
