Inspired by SFMM's Terminator: Salvation. Been working on this gci project for about 2 week now, track work is 100% complete. The supports will be the most complicated support work I've ever done. I am about 75% done with the supports. Yes auto supports was used, but thats only about 50% of the supports. The other 50% is being created handmade, that includes the bracings on the banked turns. Here are a few screenshots. Please leave some feedback. Thanks!

Looks good, but I personally think the first drop is too steep. It might just be the angle though....

I have SM, I just can't use the editor to build tracks. But I think the sim runs just fine. I'll try it out when you release the ride ballerboi. Looks great.

Scream Machines does not calculate the back seat, but i am guessing around -0.6 through -0.8 g's

^ Yeah I can, but that will take forever changing the thickness of each piece one by one. I'll change it if I don't get lazy, I am just focusing on finishing the damn supports. lol.

UPDATE:

Supports are about 85% completed.
I may add a tunnel or two.
Here are a few pictures showing off the backside of the coaster. The lateral bracing supports are still not finalized...

Update..
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! Supports are pretty much completed... I just need to add the finishing touches... 1 Tunnel was added. Took me awhile because it was custom made.. Roller Coaster MAY be themed... spider related... if anyone wants to guess the name of the coaster... just think about spiders.. and wood. [;)]

Enjoy this screenshot, because it will probably be the last one till the release... release date not set yet.

Update 8/30/10
Hey everybody, sorry about the wait. I forgot how much time work wooden roller coasters take to make. Final touches are being made right now. I don't know If i have mentioned this.. but a soundtrack has been made. The download file will include a package that unpackages the music, logo, and theme. I will always include a new lift sound(which I couldn't include in the package for some reason, therefore you will manually have to copy the file into the 'sounds' folder)...

Opening Soon
