If he's thinking what I'm thinking....it's that it's just too black, no texture or anything. Most roads are more gray and have some visible texture. I realize that using gray for the road there would almost make it look as if everything else is also pavement but, if you could maybe use a different block for the road part, like the light castle block, it would give it a not-so-jet black look.

Coaster I made in a new park. It's an interesting layout, but I don't know how to theme it and add buildings.

Given that there's too much track over the station platform, you're not gonna be able to get too much of a majestic entrance for it. The design is definitely unique though, I'll give you that, and I can't really tell where it's going half the time. I'd ride it, let's see the stats.

doesn't that park look familiar?

I like the coaster, but as Clockwork said, there's a bit much track over the station. You'll either need a really tall station or a very glitchy, 8cars'd short one...

Yup. It's Shroomy Land!

I forgot about this topic. I couldn't find it for a while...

Anyways about the stats.


I'd like to raise the excitement substantially, and maybe lower the nausea somehow.

I'd ride it too. I have to think about what I'm going to do for the station...

In my experience Shroomster, I've discovered that the station has to be sort of totally isolated from the "Twisted Mass". Unless of course you would like to theme out a part of the track as well. In this case, the track is just too twisted, that it never "gets away from itself".

At least without it being so riddles with holes that it tends to look like Bonnie & Clyde's car. That is not a negative comment on the track design. A good twisty design is a good design as long as the nausea isn't that high. Inverteds tend to be higher rated in nausea factor anyway.

If I were you, I'd just figure out a way to move the station into a clear area, so that it can be enclosed. Why not modify the station so that the station is 90 degrees to the lift hill. So that the trains have to make a tight-right turn from the station.

You can then lead the track straight around the rest of the layout with a series of left turns. (There's clearance around the big bend there after the series of corkscrews, and you're already at the correct height) as the curve, after the final drop, does not align with any other track that exists in the layout. You'll run right next to the curve after the corkscrews. You can install decent gradual brake run, right along the side.

That sounds like a good idea. I'll try it!
