Uh oh... Something's growing out in the forest.

Is this unfinished? Will it have custom supports?

Work on lowering those lateral G's, 2.06 G's is OK but anything higher than that is unrealistic.

BTW, I like that splash track.

It's a little odd that the resterant has big windows, yet anyone inside wouldn't be able to see the top hat above. Maybe add a strip of glass roofing so patrons of the resteraunt can see the main attraction? Maybe add a "Bump Out" under the top hat, so a sort of "solarium" could be added beneath.

The water feature is pretty cool! How does it look when the train runs through it? Does the train & water get all choppy and flicker? I tried something like that with a monorail, and the track was just under the surface, but the train looked odd because it looked like it was underwater, instead of half submurged.

Anyway... I'd start working on making midways a bit wider than a single path. It'll look better, not quite so congested.

The structure looks pretty cool. I like the virtical "ribs" in the wall's masonry work. But those gothic windows don't seem to be doing much for it. All the rest of the windows and the door across the footpath look modern. Do you have something that might be substituted for the gothic windows?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears as if the whole roof of the building is glass....couldn't help but point that out!

Nice screen. Looks very quaint. I'd say maybe change up the color scheme of either the building or the coaster, because the gold on gold gets kind of....itchy...after a while. Not totally horrible and wrong, but a little annoying. And I agree with wolfman, replace those windows, if anything.

It kinda looked like a thatched roof. Made from palm leaves? Definatly does not look like glass to me. Any horizontal framework is not visible from this angle, just virtical. I can remember glass roofing from my own current project. This don't look like that.

@ RCT_noob: It's incomplete, most of the trees have yet to be added. And I've rode a 4.23 G coaster... The Boss at Six Flags St. Louis... one mean machine!

@Wolfie: It's a glass roof. Maybe yours is a different type? The coaster just goes through the splash, thats it. It has the splash section feel, though.

Looks awesome. The top hat looks quite realistic, and the whole glass-roof restaurant thing is a great idea. If I could offer a suggestion, remove the black area outside the coaster and add a forest behind the restaurant, making the whole thing look like it's the middle of a large nature reserve. Anyway, looks great.

beginner2: That would take away the name's theme.

Lukie: 4.23 lateral G's? Are you some kind of superhuman person that is not affected by dangerously high G's?

[Luketh]

Yes, I am, Noob. I remember hearing afterwards that "The Boss boasts up to 4Gs. I'm pretty sure it was 4.23, too.

Check the DB... oh, its JUST "Boss" but to me its THE Boss.

Thanks for the comments guys, The black area is only temporary, it'll be gone soon enough. It will be replaced largly by trees, too.

The Boss, looks Boss! The supports are almost artistic. and the stats look impressive. And the route looks like fun.
