Project Plantoris - Phreakshow

Ok, we had a pause on Wood Coaster for many reasons. Sorry about that folks. I want to make sure the track is perfect before I start on the supports and finish the scenery. Here is a POV of the track work I have so far. I would really appreciate any feedback before its set in stone. We are going to get this thing finished and released!

I decided to release some of the Coaster Accessories I have made. Check it out and use them to spice up your coasters.

Is there a GCI coaster train wheel brush in real life?

They do indeed exist. It was quite hard to find a picture of one but I see them on every GCI. They are just huge bushes that rub the wheels as the train pulls into the station. I'm not sure what for exactly.

Great of you to release these Plantoris. I'm curious - do you know what function these wheel brushes have?

I'm not really sure if this is true but I once heard that these are placed at the entrance of the station for safety reasons. If a passenger has their arm or leg sticking out, they will feel the brushes before they get their feet or hand stuck between the car and the station platform.

But I think it will be pretty difficult to place your hand or foot in that position so I don't know if this really is the function of these brushes.

The general public are very good at doing the impossible to be fair.

Support work is slow going but I get a little done every day. It is starting to look like a finished product!







I think I will be done in a couple weeks. Who's excited!?!

The supports for the tunnel are actually brown not silver



Looks really good! Can't wait for the release

I think it was refection from the angle but I made them darker. Looks like I need to maybe go a little darker yet.





Here are some more updated pics.

Looks really great so far. You're more patient than I am

It has been done, have fun everybody!

WHY do you have a password to extract the package!? What's the password to extract the package?

I want to extract the package too.

[mkingy]

People are rightly protective of their hard work, better question is why you need to extract the package?

I want to add Keven's Meisho or log jet coaster trains to run on this wooden GCI coaster. Like this. But on your mountain flyer coaster.

What is it you guys want to extract it for? if you want some scenery or something just ask I would love to help but also want to keep it protected.


also cool5 that looks like an awesome coaster you got there!

Anyone have ideas on another recreation? preferably not a woodie.

A real life jet coaster? Do this one. https://rcdb.com/2277.htm

I'd honestly just like to take a look at the unfrozen shaping because it seems to differ from normal GCI but I'm not gonna be pushy about it, it's your work and only you can choose what to do with it.

Incredible Hulk

I recently drove 250 miles to ride Oziris at Parc Ast??rix in France. One of the best rides I did so far tbh, if you wanna do a ride from across the ocean ofcourse

Hulk and Oziris are awesome but way too much theming scenery involved. any other ideas?

Recreate the entirety of Valleyfair

I really liked your work on Wood Coaster. If you are looking at any idea of wooden coaster recreations, I got some.
