The entrance of the Station Fly-Through. The lower track leads from the station to the lift hill.

The exit of the Station Fly-Through into a camelback.

That's gonna be one hell of a station fly through!

 

[Crazycoaster]

Oooh.. I spy weirdly banked trick track on that fly through

 

[Hixee]

^Really? I think it looks fairly straight...

 

[Crazycoaster]

Yeah, you can see the track leans towards the camera in both shots.

 

[Josh73]

I see it too. I think it's just the angle of the photo though.

 

[Hixee]

I thought that was the hand-rail. I can kinda see it now...

At 3.30:

Something thats actually unique that you can't see on the model, nor can you see on the job site right now unless you know what you're looking for but the fly by will actually rotate.. so the bankings actually gunna transition through the flyby and push you out towards the crowd

Ben was right, it does look kind of gross mingling with blue fire </3

^I kind of like it! Blue Fire feels very slow as it is today. With some added near misses the sense of speed will increase! And it doesn't look to bad imo

 

[Bottom_Feeder_13]

I see very high levels of sexy banking in that first picture, other than that I think the Blue Fire crossover looks okay but would be better if it had a bit of a more blocky lateral bracing to it.

 

[Brett7710]

I'm sure it will look better when it's finished, I too am looking forward to riding Blue Fire through the gaps.

I much prefer the lateral bracing on GCI's to the blockier GG woodies.

<3

And I still stand by that now <//3

And it was so not needed given how HUGE Europa is <//3

Urgh.

This coaster is so ugly, but it may look nice when it's finished.

 

[Lofty]

Oh, dear, that's a vile update. It looks horrible. For some reason, it's the blue colour that makes it look vile...

Well since when did wooden roller coasters look 'pretty'??
I mean they can look nice, but not 'pretty' like some steel coasters.
Once its done, Im sure it will look better - I wouldnt worry about the look of it, cos in the end it'll look like all the other GCI's, which look great.

I feel the opposite actually. I prefer the structure of a woodie to steel beams. Something like this - http://niekee.net63.net/wp-content/uplo ... -klein.jpg - To me is more aesthetically pleasing than the average steel coaster.

 

[CoasterCrazy]

Wooden coasters intergrate naturally into their surroundings.Like a work of art or sculpture, they add to the aesthetic appeal of their surroundings.

Since when were woodies ugly? Hand - made grace...

 

[Ben]

Most woodies aren't ugly.

The way this crosses over and ruins the impact of other coasters, is ugly.

Urgh, read what you reply to <//3
