Redesign - Coaster

With my new support beams design I decided I would increase the length and size of the ride, I felt the ride didn't have the wow factor to carry the ride and to make appealing enough for people to ride. I needed it to be a realistic as possible which meant using all the land I have available as they would when building a coaster. I also needed to make it impressive, so that people would be impressed to see when they arrive at the park.

Redesign

The roller-coaster is nearly at completion and before finishing it I decided to ask for some opinions about it with other 3D artists. With feedback from Nathan Russell, he told me to review my research and redesign my support beams. He gave me good advice and good design ideas for me to re-model my support beams. Instead of vertical and horizontal pieces of wood, I have redesigned them with a cross pattern in the middle and decreased them in size which gave the entire model a more realistic design and made it look vast in size.

The image below is a render of the new support beams.
