Hello everyone after many months of designing, I am currently building Volt a B&M Mega Coaster. At the moment I have about 60% of the track finished and look to finish the trackwork in the next couple of weeks. Also, I am building a 3D station along with other 3D's such as footers, etc, to make the ride feel authentic and real.

I'm seeing some Goliath inspiration and rip-offing [lol]

It's going to be different. I just really like the colors and the station. I am putting my own twist on them though.

3ds look nice. I like the colors. Maybe some preview pics for trackwork?

Does look nice. The station is very astheticly pleasing. It does seem a bit of a rip-off of Goliath, but I'm still looking forward to the ride.

If you want to make the ride authentic then you shouldn't forget the net and the track/support connection peices:

Good luck getting the cartexture to package. I haven't gotten a B&M one to package up yet.

Haha, wasn't Volt the Intamin accelerator you started a long long time ago and never finished? They have the same logo too.
But anyways, looks good I guess. I'll stay posted.

^ Sketchup.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Yes, I originally started with it as an Intamin Accelerator, but I wanted to do something that has not been done in a while a B&M Mega and I am very pleased about the track. Sketchup is the 3D program. I will get some pictures up soon.
