  Nice. Not the greatest execution but I was wondering when someone was going to take a stab at this.

  Not,sure how I feel about the top of the lift, is this a recreation?

  I helped build that model.  The idea behind those supports is they'd be a little more regular and fan out from a shared footer.  Some aesthetics as well as practicality.  One of the big reasons the lift was done that way was to clear existing structure.  In your instance here I'm not sure it makes a ton of sense.

   

  Credit to you for being one of the first ones to give this a shot.  It doesn't look bad, but I'm sure you can refine it further.

  CP6 you have a hell of a job man, that's awesome you touched that model. Why did the model only have the new support system under the lift hill only, why not do it for more of the hills as well?

   

  Beat me to it, was going to mess around with this too. I'd like to see a corkscrew in there somewhere. And as CP6 said the supports dont look quite right. Still really cool to see in game.

  I tried a similar concept years back on Barefoot Park, with a wooden GCI-style coaster that had a B&M track spine and custom supports. I suppose that was before the concept coaster you based this off -- and what a concept!
  
  I thought my Barefoot wood-steel hybrid looked good, but Faas didn't, and replaced it with a B&M invert once he took over the park.
  
  Yours is a good take compared to the GCI concept, but I think you need a thicker black beam object beneath the lift, rather than wooden post beams. You could also try a B&M lift spine beneath the wooden track, which might translate better aesthetically, idk.

  That's really cool! It's a great looking model.

   

  I moved the lift hill supports closer to each other so that with some suspension of disbelief you can consider most of them sharing footers. I also added some rough terrain under the lift to justify using this support structure over a classic one.

   

  

   

  The wooden posts are without a doubt not perfect but I've experimented some with other structures beneath the lift hill and never found any I personally liked better.
