    DL and find out.

    ONE problem, the only one, it's not cheat proof.
    You can jump through the lap counter repeatedly, and boost your score, add more teleporters, it's easy to fix.

    Anyway, looks fantastic, and hard. I'm a big fan of sandbox coasters.
    Fix the counter, and you've got a download.

    Ummm... hypocrite?


    I have a love/hate relationship with this track. There are many things that are so fun about this track, but there are some flaws as well. I figure it would make sense to just take things one at a time. Firstly, I'm not sure you need a starting gate for a roller coaster, but you should set the barricade's respawn rate to "Never." Secondly, the first two grav lifts aren't parallel with the track. They are pointing towards the right a little, which has adverse affects on the driver's control. Moving right along on the track we have the three intercrossing jumps. The first two are magical. They work perfectly ever time, and while the third bounces you occasionally, it works great otherwise. Next, we come to the fourth jump, which was the biggest problem I encountered. It only works half the time. It seems if you just lowered the back end of the first block on the landing, you could fix that problem lickety-split. The fifth jump is my favorite part of the track, as the man cannon shoots you down into that smooth, tight, banked turn in such an exhilarating manner. It's just a blast. The rest of the track is smooth turns and a spiral, but I did notice a bump or two that randomly caused control loss. Finally, it's weird that you put one teleporter at the checkpoint, but still left it easily cheatable. You should either make it uncheatable, or just leave the teleporter out altogether. My final thoughts on the map are this: it's truly a good roller coaster, but if you fix those few flaws, it will become a great roller coaster. Nice work either way.

    Phew, I'm hungry after writing that novel, so I'm gonna grab me some Cap'n Crunch.

    Anyways, the track looks preety good. I will dl but from the vid it looks like some of the forging is a bit sloppy. But the man cannons jumps looks awesome.
