Is that a Bobsled Train hack? & a Mini Coaster? Then a single car on a lightweight track, are held aloft with the equivalent of the supports generally used for a B&M track. Great looking supports, But a bit too hefty, for it's purpose.


I'd go with a winter landscape. And paint the supports white to blend in.

@Nokia: Thanks! And yes, its floating off the track because its a single bobsled-train. I think theres no better way...

@Wolfman: Yepp, and loopingcoaster! I dont build a winter landscape because the whole thing should be a park @ summer. We have an alpine-coaster in Fort Fun, called Trapper Slider. This is my inspiration for that. And I will look, if I paint the supports white or not...

Yeah, its time for something new!

I build not that much, but I can show one new screen.
AND I found a name for it: Alpelynia!


Here is the pic:





I hope you like it!

the roof is a little dark for me.
otherwise its a nice little screen

I really like those supports and especially the foilage!
Is this a half-timbered house?
If yes, the balks are misplaced^^
If no, it looks quite interesting.

- you stole the name from an RCT3 coaster; I'm sorry but I don't really know why you stole it as I personally think it doesn't sound very well
- you stole the idea of those fences from Fr3ak but somebody had to do that sometime because it's a really good idea...sadly it doesn't fit here
- german: "Das Fachwerk da an dem Haus sieht MEHR, als komisch aus! Fachwerkhäuser haben die Holzbalken nicht als Verzierung, sondern weil die Holzbalken das Gerüst sind und dieses Gerüst würde kein Hause halten, dadurch dass es so verspielt und zackig ist. Das ist ziemlich unrealistisch!"
- the support's glitches
- the white beams at the roof look kinda misplaced and their color doesn't fit to the roof


The rest looks good so far.
I like the track and the idea of it.
Go on with this!

Although I don't like the new name the screen looks good. The only thing I don't like is the fence and the 1/8 roof after the trim. Also like sey said, the timber framing wouldn't be random like that.

Also for an alpine area, there seems to be a lack of snow.

OOOH! Lot's of accusations about "stealing". Well, I guess I can't use a cobra roll, virtical loops or inline twists in my coaster designs, because THEY'VE been used already in other coaster designs.

Fisch, go jump in the lake you swam out of. Because you stole your name from others. Yeah. Hard to be original, ain't it?

shut up, wolfman.

screens look really good, dude. keep working.

shut up, wolfman.

I actually thought he spoke a lot of sense.

well, i just don't think this topic is the best place to start an argument, that's all.

i really like your foliage. it looks nice, as your work usually does. good work.

this idea with the fences was mine, dude
but I don`t think fr3ak has stolen this from my works, coz I think he doesn`t see somehing new works from me

sorry for the terrible english

could someone delete this post please?
We talked about it via PM.
Thanks

Yup! We talked. It's good.

sorry for the terrible english

What 'idea' with fences???

I like the first screens, the buildings look great!

this is a great park

youve improved nicely, i love the alpine coaster, it looks perfect

Yeah, here is something new from this project!




Hope you like it!

I don't know. But it seems that you might be trying to get by with a minimalist attitude concerning the structure, overall. IF it was a bit larger, you could make a single structure that would conseal the over & under parts of the track, yet still allow and encompass the helx manuver on a large balcony or deck on one side.

Perhaps careening off the deck, and swing around on a hillside amongst some trees, and make a return into the side of a larger structure. The dip inside is understandable, to gain the clearance needed for the track above, but it might look better if it was hidden inside a structure.

I also think if the climb following could go uphill a bit more, (not level out,) then peak and drop right into the existing downhill curve. That would make it a bit more exciting, than a flat section. Around here, might be cool to see a car kind of "loft" into the air, before it emurges from a larger structure, then drop a few levels before hitting that curved drop.

Working from that basic structure... You could create a trellis-like roof/cover so that you can see the track and action of the trains/cars, yet still maintan an "enclosed" feeling to the structure.

The theme seems fine to me. But a bigger "Swiss Chalet" structure is going to "do away with" the nickle & dimed to death structure that seems to just barely make the theming work, as it is.

And I'm just curious if anyone else thinks that the fence design is beginning to get a bit overused in this area? It just seems like it has no real purpose for it's use here... other than "See? I put the fence here too!" kind of thing. Not the kind of thing I'd use along a bobslead run. Just my opinion.

I've been wanting to do an alpine coaster for a while. It seems like this one is fairly well pulled off.

Hope you like it!

I do, very much actually.
The borders on the side are very well pulled off, and that building is great.
I've always liked your style.
