Description:
Orion is my first attempt at making a rollercoaster. I also decided to put it on tempest, just to see if it could be done. I don't think it came out too bad, since I was able to fit a lot of twisting and turning track and a few pretty fun jumps into this near two minute long rollercoaster. The tempest scenery helps to set this apart from most other rollercoasters, and I threw in some extra aesthetic touches here and there to improve on that. If you guys have any feedback/constructive criticism please let me know so I can improve on any future rollercoasters I plan, what with this being my first one and all.

Picture Overviews/Highlights:

What inspired your creation?
I had made at least one track of most of the popular types on halotracks with the exception of rollercoaster's, hc, stunt, and supercross. For my next few projects I've decided to work on "completing the set," so to speak.

How long did it take you to create this track?
It took me probably 8 hours to complete the track, with another 4 or 5 for decorating and testing/tweaking, making it about a 13 hours total, give or take.

What aspect of the track took you the longest to create?
Probably the jumps took me the most time to tweak and test. I wound up removing the lips to the jumps I had since they work more reliably without them. A big thanks goes to Das TeknoViking and Das TeknoPirate for helping me test the jumps and track out.
