thanks Joël much appreciated!


Thanks everyone for the support and comments on this series, which is now Series 1 of 2!.

Series TWO (renovation and ride detailing) will be presented in a new thread, starting next weekend.

Below is a final video for Series ONE; a 30 minute video of the coaster build process, covering a bunch of topics that just would not fit into a 7 minute episode...
* designing the coaster
* building on a 4 m grid - lining things upon the grid
* stacking levels of the coaster - lining things up vertically
* building in "rooms" - themed storyline for the coaster
* EFN tuning and smoothing
* speed, timing, and section breaks
* and probably some other rambling...!

Themed coaster "Rooms"
Queue/Station: Pilot Academy
Station to Hilltop: WARP to enemy fleet
Top Level: Asteroid dodging
Mid Level: Ship combat
2nd hill: WARP to enemy homeworld
Low Level: Ground bombing attack
Ground Run: WARP home
Station approach/brakes: Welcome back

At the end of SERIES TWO, i'll make another bonus video of the ride detailing and theming process.
