Also, I'm quite surprised they didn't put the track going through the loop first. Will be interesting to see how they go about that after capping the loop...


That surprised me as well, I guess its not that hard to do apparently .

Here are a couple pictures from Carowinds on twitter and instagram.

Really can't thank Hiveminded enough for providing this blueprint. It's still a bit longer than anticipated (about 500 feet longer), so I might just be a trash builder, but it's really starting to resemble the real ride.

Should I increase the speed in favor of height accuracy? Or keep the speed accurate to the real ride? I still can't get either loop above 20m without valleying, which translates to about 65 feet (59 for the second loop), but I still want to keep it as true to the actual ride as possible. So it's more of a pacing vs. accuracy thing.

Can we please add a new thread for the Planet Coaster stuff? I visit this website for construction updates, not to see who is or who isn't recreating this ride in Planet Coaster? Not everyone is interested in this stuff and it makes sorting through this construction thread a pain.

I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way...


Thanks

It's not really about being interested or not interested, just that they are 2 distinct subjects.

And I thought there was a Planet Coaster thread already?

Construction is moving in a different direction than I expected, over towards the second loop instead of following the rough order of the layout. Also you can actually see stuff on the webcam in the morning, its so much better. I think someone needs to wipe the camera, its been up there about 4 years now.
