I would in a heartbeat.
Getting stuck on one of the inverted straightaways wouldn't necessarily be fun after a while though. -

Wow... Another week's worth of work, and fortunately this Saturday I have a load of new stuff to show off.
First, I'll get my release for this week out of the way: Silver Flash.
Five-hundred feet tall and nearly 10,000 feet of B&M box-spined track... That's what this coaster turned into after several months of work. With a layout and design inspired by Six Flags Great America's Raging Bull, Silver Star is Bolliger and Mabillard steel taken to the extreme.
Riding in raised seats, get ready to dive nearly straight back towards the earth from the fifty-story pinnacle, straight into a dark tunnel. From there, it's back up and around a banked curve at about 350 feet high, then through the beautiful classic B&M slanted-support structure of the lift with an airtime-inducing camelback peak. And that's only the beginning of the ride.
From there, you will be taken through a maze of interlocking curves, dives, and swoops. In all, Silver Flash provides you with a dozen curving elements, and that means five helixes or carousel curves, and plenty of banking action. Also, plenty of custom supports to go around which, as usual, accounted for most of the construction time.

Now onto the other good stuff, with the announcement of two of my upcoming coasters I have in store for you. Here they are:
Extremity:
This has turned into my personal favorite ride of mine yet. Extremity is an Intamin giga-coaster with some serious high-speed action, and elements inspired by Schwarzkopf. The ride takes advantage of the large river it sits next to with a centerpeice towering camelback hill leaping over a complex arch support structure inspired by the support structure for one of the hills on Pepsi Max Big One. Onto the screens:
Cliffhanger:
Now that all of my rides will be featuring terrain, I thought that I would take it to the extreme with this B&M stand-up coaster. Cliffhanger will take you up the face of a cliff before plunging you head-first down a steeper-than-vertical drop down the side to start off the ride. The ride will take you up and down the cliff face several times, and around other natural formations, and will take you upside-down a total of three times. Screens:
Hope you enjoyed Silver Flash, and look forward to everything that I have in store for future releases! Comments, criticism, any feedback welcome! Thanks. -

Silver Flash looks beautiful, except those supports.
They look awful on the first drop. -

BC, have you ever thought of joining www.coastersims.com ?
You'd get more recognition and rates that way. -

Thanks! PymGuy, I'm just trying to clear up a minor problem with registering at Coastersims, but I plan on getting some of my work up at CS in the near future.
