    Special thanks to Chung wii and all of my my testers.

    Hey all you little boys and girl I have a new racetrack in reach this map is centered around the island. With banked waves flat turns, strategic turns, grass turns and marvelous aesthetics in my opinion it is the greatest map i have ever produced. Did I mention it has a GIANT HOT AIR BALLOON! in the middle of the racetrack, I also have some rock aches in there along with some structural support beams for some of the heavy parts of the track and a random light fixture i decided to throw in there. This map i started at the beginning of reach to now (11/3/2010) which makes it the longest map I've ever worked on. With all the various sections of track it should create heated game play for however many players are playing on this map.

    Wow I must say that this is one of the best race maps I have ever seen. It is just so smooth and neat. I particularly love the Air Baloon in the sky. Great job and hope to see more.

    I remember watching you make this, I fell in <3 with the balloon. The track itself of course too. I havent seen too manmy quality race tracks lately, but I suppose I havent been paying much attention to that part of the forums. Anyway, Great job Stoy

    i downloaded this ages ago and completely forgot about it until tonight.
    we had a few people in a lobby and ended up running it.

    holy ****.
    im extremely impressed by this map and i feel confident saying its one of the best tracks ive played so far in reach. every single turn is smooth to perfection, and the driving lines are actually competitive as well.

    during the race, those without good driving skill were quickly separated from the pack as the leaders drove the best line and gained distance. myself and another player jostled back and forth for first place throughout all 3 laps. this is a quality that i personally find to be essential in a track, and you accomplished it.

    all of this merely relates to gameplay,
    to add icing on the cake, the aesthetics of the map are gorgeous as well.
    the balloon is simple but effective, and also not distracting from the race as you speed past it.

    this track deserves more attention imo.
    great job.

    I found this track to be very enjoyable and smooth. The curving banked roller coaster hills were fantastic! It had a mostly good layout and some nice aesthetic touches, nothing over the top which is nice. The one thing I'd fix is that really sharp corner, you notice half the group slams into the wall there in the vid?
