Description
I actually wanted to keep this one under the wraps as long as possible, but I've kind of hit a wall with it, despite being very confident thatI'd actually finally get a project done and release it here on NE. I have two problems:
1. This thing is a bitch to support, and I am in dire need of an object that doesn't exist. If you feel inclined to help me: http://www.nedesigns.com/topic/32832/diagonal-slanted-support/
2. I'm not happy with the layout (everything below the beginning of the lifthill.) Not so much an issue with the flow, it is more about the station area not turning out as I intended it to be.
But aside from that I've been having a blast building this. When (or rather if, knowing myself) its done, it will look great. -

Alright, small update:
I decided to try my hands at custom supports, and I think I've found a somewhat decent way to do them. I recon that if I really do full custom supports this will eat away map data like hell, so if anybody wants to help me out by creating some objects to make building easier, here is what I need:

As for placing a trim each half tile: I've toyed around with it, but I am afraid I cannot do it in an un-glitchy way, especially on slopes and curves. At the end it would probably better if I settled for the way I have it right now, but that is up to you to decide.
I will also try to alter the supports of the roll that spans over the first drop. I hope I can make it look like a Zero-G-Stall, but I'm not overly optimistic that it will work.
Just build and don't worry about it unless you've already hit it. Chances are there are so many object saving opportunities on a map you'll have no real issue finishing park.
A combination of intense masochism, poor self-control and obstinacy.
Good to know, G Force. That's a big relief.
As for the whole thing being expanded to a park, I'm still on the fence about that. If I were to transform it into a park I'd go for one of those small parks that just has one major attraction. A kiddie coaster, a droptower and a water ride, that's it.
If you're refering to the very thick supports, those are only used on inversions. I could do them with thin supports as well, but I haven't figured out a way to actually make it look good.
Thanks, Sephiroth. I loved Dreadnough and I use it as guidance how to build the supports, with some adjustments. Luckily my coaster doesn't have any major elevations besides the lifthill and it is a bit shorter, so it won't be quite as tedious to support.
