Here is The Reaper.
Speed:70
Height:165FT.
Cars:3
Trains:6
This coaster includes 4 inversions.
Here are the pics. I was gonna start this topic from the beginning of construction, but I had no time. The track is finished and also the supports. This coaster has an inverted magnet lift that launhes you almost upsidedown. Also there is a heart line roll interacting with the loop and a 70mph. launch. Here ya go!!

Looks really fun so far actually.

The only advice I can give that would make this ride look better are to go one or the other with the track and rail colors, not both.
Maybe use a better terrain texture- but that might just look less-than-desirable because it's not terraformed yet.

Since I like Arrows the best advice I can give you is: Use scenery and a que line, maybe a nice lake, some trees :)
YES!

The concept is something i've never seen before, this time though you should pay more attention to your trackwork and less on supports and 3ds. most of your coasters arent very smooth and I suggest you don't continue with supports or 3ds until you are satisfied with the smoothness.

I like the idea however your supports are wierd and awkward. Also I assume you're planning to terraform this because the station that high would just look odd.
What are these for?

I would love to make a station and 3d's around it, but i don't have any scene object maker anymore. The sketchup demo expired. So I was thinking making some scenary out of supports, like the walls and tunnels on maverick. And I think the track is pretty smooth enough, mabye some testers?
Thanks for the feedback, also would you prefer this on the 2 tube track sections?

it's a tube out of supports, I am thinking probably not, but what do you think?

get OC in coasterchamber.com, free and easy and will suffice for your 3ds issues at the expense of ten brushes. that should be more than enough, though, for making a basic little station and building a roof for supports: at least you have a 3ds guideline to build behind. keep the two tubetrack normal, you could have just made those 4 tube if you needed more reinforcement.

thanks, I'll do that. Also about the colors, should it be one color or the colors it is now.

keep the track one color, like all pruple or all light purple. Your LIM lift is undersupported and needs a little more bracing in the front of the hill. For coaster style I think an X-Car would be sexier and more practical for this type of layout.

Its not the size of the supports I'm concerned about, its the manner in which they are used
What are these for?

They look cool, albeit a tad big. I'd go down a size.

^That's what I was thinking. Way too big. 1 size down should do it.
It's been a long time

Looks neat, just try no to go too overboard with it.

I can do cartextures and or a final screenshot for it if you want. Can't test though cause I don't have NL on this computer :D
