It was Sunday evening and I was on my way home from work. I was on highway 401 and I big rig with a track piece appeared beside me. It was heading for Springbank Park. I couldn't get a good glimpse of it, but to me it looked like an B&M track.

Your layout, bolds and centered things may make that your posts catch the eye more than posts from others, but that does not yet say anything about the quality or help of your posts .....
So, it can as well help to just skip them......

I agree with this. Kong, can you stop puting dots in every space? Just annoying.
As for the park, I think that there's too much trees, and the brake section is too short considering the last drop. I would made it twice longer. Also, I think that your negative vertical forces is due to the drop that aren't smoothen enough. I wouldn't used that 70 to 0 degrees piece. Would made lot of 35 degrees drop pieces like 5 before dropping to 0 degree (flat piece). I hope you understood, english is sometimes difficult for me to explain things.
I like the coaster station, and awesome job on the supports.
Ps. Will you use the new supports by Toon in this park? Those are the most usefull items.

Oh and thanks Emergo
lucas92---I tried to lower the amount of tree's (since my previous parks) and it has improved, but I still can't get it right. I wanted the outside edge to be full of tree's though. And I was hoping that the middle didn't look to crowded. Sorry, I got a little confused on what you meant, but if you look, there's little brakes that slow it down, if you want, I can send you the file to show you. The train can almost stall at the top of the second bunny hill.
Thanks all!

Alright
I'm just gonna post ONE more thing regarding the 'style' of my posts......then, hopefully it will be put to rest.
First: I'm not trying to 'impress' anyone with the way I post....it's just the way I post, deal with it.
If I wanted to get creative with them.....I'd have fashioned THIS one in the form of a single digit sticking straight up to convey my thoughts on certain people getting their panties in a wad over the fact that I simply choose to post in bold and center my text. It's not a 'statement'....I'm not trying to be 'artistic'.....it's just a style that I like. It allows ME to scroll quickly to MY previous posts...no more, no less.
If it allows others to easily skim PAST my posts....so be it. But, you might miss something along the way.
Secondly: the fact that you're even replying with criticism to the WAY that I post violates #2 in the TOS of this forum. It states: " Avoid getting personal. This is a place to feedback on parks, not people! .
I would think that someone that is a moderator here would know that.
Thirdly: A couple of people here are seemingly annoyed because I post in bold and center my text....along with the 'dots' that signify a continuance of a particular thought without breaking the sentence up.
Somehow, that's annoying.
I'd have NEVER said this had those two not decided to sound off but.....
Do you have ANY idea how annoying it is to try to decipher posts that consist of mostly broken (at best) English?
Do I single YOU out and tell you to translate better? Of course not.
All I do is offer MY personal opinions on whatever I happen to be looking at. I try to be of help....in THIS thread.....I thought that the colors were a bit garish for the structures, and said as much. Then, I look for other opinions on the subject at hand....and, all I see is people bashing the way I type.
Stick to the subject........I'm NOT gonna change the way I post.
Unless I, myself, decide to.
Remember.....this is supposed to be FUN!
Let's keep it that way.

Later that evening, after my dinner, I headed down to see Springbank Park and it's suspicious coaster track. When I arrived at the fence, I saw some uncovered B&M tracks! I was excited and climbed the fence. When I entered, I saw not only B&M tracks, but I realized, that there were two different types of B&M's. One sit down or stand up, and one inverted. And with the Multi-Billion dollar company. The new tracks didn't come to the park painted, in fact, Springbank Park even has their own Paint Supply's building! Before I got caught by security, I snapped a couple of shots.
I'll take more shots of the complete coaster soon!

WOW! Two guards for each piece of track!
Springbank must be loaded to place 10 guards when one would do.
Come to think of it, 10 guards did them a fat lotta good.
I mean, really. YOU got in to snap a picture.
What were the guards doing?
Eatin' donuts?

The brown pants camouflaged me.
Thanks all!
I've done some research, and with my evidence, I've realized that there isn't two B&M's, there's actually one B&M and one Maurer Söhne! This could be interesting.
