This is a remake of the second coaster I ever created, which as you would imagine was a lot worse. With a ton more experience, I was able to make something that actually resembled vaguely what I had envisioned. Once I was done with the layout, as I knew a good coaster could stand on its own without decoration, I was planing on just leaving it with the supports and a few trees as I had already worked so much on the layout, but then I said screw it.
Other notes:
-I know its not actually a strata, but come on, 2ft!! Just look at the "Max Height" and ignore that the min height exists to make it a little more manageable (I actually meant for this to be a giga, but after I was half way done with the layout, I realized I accidentally made it a strata, and then I realized that I actually did make it a giga)
-I had so much trouble with making the color scheme, trying just about everything I could think of for like 20min, but nothing worked, so I just slapped the Orion color scheme on it and left it like that (and after a bit of adjusting, it actually worked pretty well!)
-The layout is completely hand built (and everything else of course)
-I kinda tried to optimize for lag, but I pretty much stopped when I was decorating the actual park, so if you want to see the roller coaster without lag spikes ruining the on-ride perspective, try checking out the pov on my youtube channel (or you could also just turn down all the detail settings)
-This is my first attempt at actual scenery (as in not just a few trees dotting the area of the coaster) and trying to make it at least somewhat realistic. I did get a little lazy with it sometimes (the queue, the copy and pasted bench things, the parking lot etc.) but I really just wanted the layout of the coaster to shine.
-The track shaping isn't the best by far, so if you have any tips or tricks you have that you think could help me, please let me know down in the reviews.

Reminded me of Ibanezs project recon j74. The shaping was decent but wasnt perfect. I thought the color scheme was too bland for my tastes but the scenery amd the surroundings were decent. Keep producing rides, i think you've got room for improvement.
Really great coaster! The layout is very realistic, the track is smooth for a hand-built coaster, and the G-forces, positive, negative, and laterals are well maintained. The only reason it is getting an 8 out of 10 is because if you look closely at the queue lines for the ride, there are some significant inaccuracies among the placement of the queue fences. The placement of the regular fences are normal. One tip I could give you is making the queue fences looking better on your future projects. Other than that, great coaster! ;)
