It's probably hard to imagine, but the majority of the track is going to be underground.
The short stretches of track that will be above ground will be PART of the upper dive,
out of the side of the volcano. And the double track on the far side of the lagoon.
You can see that some of the dirt blocks have been positioned already.
This is the mostly the very basic layout. As I wanted to create a bit
more to the layout. A large helix about where the hills that
dives and twists underground, opposite the volcano.

Currently, the track carries six trains. Which always
keeps a train in the unloading station. Thus far, there has
been no breakdowns, and I established enough block brakes to catch
and shuttle any trains out on the circuit, in case a breakdown should occur.
There should be no trains stuck on the chain blocks, out on the circuit. The launched lift
sections are alternately colored Blue & Red. Chain blocks are in Yellow. Block
brakes in Blue. And the brake run is in Red. I'm not sure if the photo-
track will remain in this location, because you can't put the
photo-track underground. So I'll have to use the land
blocks to cover it up somehow, to make it
"look" like it's underground.

Here are the ratings as they stack up for the moment.
As I said, the majority of the track will be be rebuilt,
underground, as I lift the land tiles up into position.
So these ratings will most likely rise.

I forgot to add,... The volcano isn't exactly finished. And I'm on my way to see Star Trek at an IMAX and I'm texting from my blackberry, riding in my best friend,s car, at about 100 mph. That's a guestimate, as the spedometer is broken.

LOL!

Pray for me.

The movie was great! I highly endorse it with the Wolfman paw print of excellence.

The coaster?
Well, I've been busy with the band and my other parks. I'm forever waiting on my partner in this park project. An elusive fellow. So the project is stalled. He's supposed to be selecting theming objects. But he's got other projects and priorities. It's hard to be hot for a project that has been in the planning stages for two months. And here I sit... waiting. For his input. I just don't want to hear the usual BS excuse, "Sorry it looks like crap/unfinished, but I was rushed."

I've seen Star Trek twice now and all I gotta say is

"EPIC!"

Don't start on your park partner, Wolfie...
