Come onboard and enjoy Blueridge Valley from an exhilirating train ride. Reuben's Train will take you across the valley and through the woodlands on the other side before diving down to the Blueridge Valley Mines. The line may have some unexpected turns so please brace yourself and keep your arms and legs within the cars for the entire journey. I would recommend giving this a back-seat ride.

Design
This ride has many inspirations, combining traditional terrain based minetrains with the modern multi-launch technology. I've tried to create a family friendly non-inverting ride with enough force to excite you but also something you'd want to re-ride, with a focus on how to intergrate it in the scenery.
It's abit a labour of love for me creating this environment and the ride, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have making it. There's no extra frills here, everything in this file comes with NL2 and I wanted to see what I could achieve with that.
not really big on rating tracks simply because I don't want one of my creations getting a bad review. but I am always willing to take the time out to tell someone when I think they created a cool track, and yours was very enjoyable.
Great fun ride, I thought the pacing was really spot on - the ride really built up well to the more intense finale and this was definitely the best feature of the ride. Generally I think you did a good job with supportwork (as little as there was) although it would have been nice to seen a bit more care taken with the wooden supports - especially on the smaller bridge. The atmopshere of the ride was really good too - it felt like a proper mine train with your sparing use of tunnnels and ground hugging trackwork. I felt intensity wise it was pretty much spot on for the target audience.
The trackwork shaping did feel a little odd just before the lead in to the second launch (first being out of the station) It just felt like it broke the flow of the ride a little bit. I also felt like the ride could have done with some more corner laterals in the back seat. I'd also have liked to se eyou use support scenery too, for added originality points.
This was great. Really enjoyed the layout and all the little trackwork details. Very realistic execution of your idea based on those aspects along with pacing.
