Thanks for the comments!
Today I've been working mainly on the grandstands. There's some terraforming around them to make them fit into the landscape better, and I've used Aceana's new terrain conforming pavement pecies for the base. I've varied the trees a little more two. I thought I'd see what it looks like with shadows on for a change, and let's just say I'm going to be leaving shadows on all the time now!

Tonight I've managed to get the motorbike layout complete. So, I thought I would treat you all to an overview shot of the layout. Note that most of it still needs to be themed, terraformed and supported, and I stillneed to do the station building:
^ After the striaght launch section, the tracks twist right then left, drop down into a right hand ben, does a few swerving bunny hop thingies, goes round a large left bend, under a Bridgestone sign, onto the airtime hills, down the steepest drop on the coaster, through the intertwining corkscrews then over the intamin station onto the brake run.
It may seem quite a short ride, but Vekoma motorbikes always are. I've got it so the two trains keep overtaking each rather thaan hving one predominatly in front throughout most of the ride, which makes it more thrilling. They both finish at exactly the same time though, but when watching it go it definately has that racing feel to it.
Now I've just got to theme it...
