It seems really cool...but at the same time I'm on the fence when it comes to the style and track shaping. I'm not 100% convinced it's a Rocky Mountain coaster...and if it isn't, I'm not sure what style you were going for. A lot of it looks like Intamin, but I don't think they'd really need (or want) to use the topper track.
I guess basically...I like what I see overall, I just don't completely believe it yet, at least without a more thorough description. I hope that makes sense lol. |

I can always change it to an intamin.. If you want i can send u the track and you can test it/decide. Honestly, the reason I used topper track is because it hasnt been made yet and its kind of a clean canvas as far as realism. I just have trouble seeing intamin doing the kind of twists that my ride takes. IT would definately put alot of stress on the tracks.
Edit- Im tentatively changing this to a prefab for the time being. |

| I'm assuming that you'll be switching to a 3-bench train then? You'll want to be careful, because they pace very differently. Try switching off improved friction as well, because it seems to pace a bit more realistically. Looks cool though, hopefully you'll be darkening the tunnel a bit. |

Not that hard. It's under options or something. I could tell you for sure if I had NL in front of me. Definitely don't keep improved friction on.
It'd be cool to check it out, but I can't really accept knowing how busy I will be for a while. This week alone I have work 9-5 M-F, 4 baseball games, 1 practice, 3 nights of salsa, and Hersheypark. It's a bit much lol. |

| I think it looks great, not every track needs to be a replica of a certain design firms work. This could always just be your own thing. |

I modified the shape to be more topper track style. It rides great and looks nice so this officially topper track.
Also, I realized that the autosupports have the same shape as I was planning on building, so I found a process of changing all the horizontal and diagonal beams to flat beams and it really looks nice. I only tried it on this area though because it is mildly time consuming. Its simply more efficient than placing the entire structure myself, in which I would quickly loose interest.
I will be doing some custom supporting here and there though. Most notably on the lower turns. |

| It deffo looks nice, but I think if the tunnels were "tighter"(only if Tunnel test allows that), it would look even better. |
