Current progress:
Hey guys. Started work on this recently. It's a rough version of the HULK coaster in Islands of Adventure Florida(i say rough because it's not really a one for one match, the layout is pretty far off if viewed from the top, but for the most part it's a good representation).
The track layout is pretty much done. I need to get a train positioned around it to make sure there aren't any problems with overhead intersections but i can do that a bit later. All the suspect areas are outdoors so i won't need to fix anything i had before i check it. Plus ofc i actually need to make the train first.
There are various places that still need texture work, well on the small pieces i've got in the scene so far. Most notably, the white supports. Currently it's just a flat colour + light bake and AO, so with some nicer textures they should be looking quite nice.
anyway, enough blabering, here're the current pics:

Here are some more pics from today. I've been working on the terrain area at the back of the coaster where the small loop is situated. Still need to add some more small bits to the coaster itself like walkway steps, the brake motors and some more supports.
I'll actually be visitng this park in around 2-3 weeks time too, so if i'm not finished by then (likley) i'll be able to take all of the extra research i need.
Also, Where's the water tunnel?
The water tunnel you're refering to is just after the loop, i already have the bridge in place in UDK (although atm, it's just a flat plane )
edit: Another pic to show the trees better As i say, the leaves will likely be getting re-done.
The grass tbh looks fine without lightmass so i'd rather not render out over 50,000 light maps that i don't need.
