  ill be blunt and honest because i know Louis is one of the few people who can really handle it. i was not a major major fan of this. i enjoy it, and i appreciate it, but i didnt love it.
  
  My main issue was that the coasters just looked like a big wooden mess. how could they not, there are six of them?! there were times that they were winding around underneath huge hills where we couldnt really see or watch them. It was just hard to follow them... I think this is all probably more flavored by my distate for coaster knots. I think the look of the track is something that should be emphasized, and when they are all knotted up they blend together and just look overwhelming IMO.
  
  but don't take this all wrong. I appreciate the skill demonstrated here. the patience to find designs so that 6 coasters would be perfectly timed together! it's a stroke of genius that you could make them all the trains work so well. The surroundings were bare, but i had no problem with that, and the station was beautifully done.
  
  For me this really shows how well you have mastered coasters, i just didn't like the overall look.

  On the other hand, I have to ask what the point is? I mean, to me, a six-way dueller is so far out of the question of reality that this realism/semi-realism approach doesn't really suit the concept. So on an abstract level, I have issues with the coasters because the style you chose suggests that the actual implementation of such a ride would be too sprawling, messy, costly, etc.
  

  Right... That's why it was done in a game and not in real life. I fail to see your point.

  That looks really hectic from the aerial, can't wait to check it out in the game.

  Like others have said, it's really impressive just for the fact that it is a huge mass of track. I liked the custom supports, but the lack of footers on parts of the ride had me scratching my head. Why didn't you either do all of them or just leave them out?
  
  Anyway, congrats on the design! Definitely showcases some major skill.

  Haven't seen a dueler like this since Lunatim. This is great. It looks massive and messy, but on a map like this and a coaster that huge, it will always be that way. The Logo was also brilliant.

  Six Shooter is the best wooden roller coaster of all time.
