Sort of off topic, and I think you guys might find this interesting.
This is a video i've made today for an old ride of mine known as Gamma Burst. The ride was first started when Maverick opened, I worked hard on it and hated the layout so I abandoned it. Then 2 years ago i picked it up again, and redid most of the layout (everything after the Cobra Roll is new) I no longer have the old layout, or any photos to show you. I still never finished it, Gamma Burst is an interesting ride with a unique layout so I hope you enjoy this look at a classic Jer coaster.

^ That was pretty cool that coaster nd would love to ride in real life if it was real. Loved the first drop.
What did you do to the track at the top of the first drop and first inversion though?

Looks very good and it was longer than I thought. If it was real I would definately ride it.

I liked this. As I said before, the track work is good. There is the odd jerk and pump in the transitions, but to be honest they're nothing really. You can see some of them, but they're really nothing I wouldn't expect from a hand-built track. I really liked the mix of big fast corners, short twisty sections and gentle inversions. The barrel roll was also really well done and very smooth.
The support work was nice, I liked some of the structures, simple and clean. The pacing was pretty good too, it did feel like it died a little in the last helix, but the ride was pretty much over at that point, so it's not that big of a deal.
Overall, nice ride. 8/10

Thanks for all the feed back guys, and now it's time to introduce my next ride: Dreadnought
Dreadnaught is a 225ft tall Xcar monster, I haven't done much else other than the drop to be honest so I cant quite boast anything just yet. I wasnt quite sure if 225 was too tall for a Xcar, but if the general consensus says it is it's a vertical lift and can easily be lowered.

Re: The Jer development topic! [Dreadnought into 5/3/11]
Added colors, some support skeletons, track, and lowered it to 200ft rather than 225, I know it really isn't a very visual change it's hard to tell from screens alone, but in speed and forces it makes a massive difference.
Right now keeping it relatively compact for fun, especially while supporting, but i might have an out and back section. I have the next few elements planned out, but after that it's all improvisation
