Custom Scenery Exchange / Ferris Wheel Top?

Hey Object makers.
I Im trying to build an oversized ferris wheel, and Im using the Air-powered coaster for the bottom semi circle, the problem is I dont have a top half.
I was thinking it might be possible to take just the track from this coaster, edit it a little and invert it so it can be used as the top half. Does this make sense?
This picture is kindoff what I was going for

Does think this is possible? Anyone willing to help possibly?

Actually I had another idea.
Would it be possible to somehow convert these images into the object?

You can see how I divided it up into the 4 peices as it could appear ingame, and have the whole thing put together in the center. The picture was taken from an Isometric angle and I experimented a little overlaying the above image as a GIF and overlaying it with Screenshots and it appears like it would go properly with the angle of rct.

I'm not sure that the 2nd (white) object is exactly the same angle as the RCT one, and that's really important. Secondly, you'll need all four of the angles (because of lighting/shadows) to be able to create the object(s) and it would make everything a lot easier for anyone that decides to undertake this if the background was solid black. And it wouldn't be possible to edit the air powered coaster lower section to use as the upper section.....it would basically have to be created from scratch so the 2nd image would be the one you'd want to use.

Yea, I see what your saying about it being slightly off, But really I cant tell that much.

I could easily make the background black and get the other three angles, the only problem is that could throw the scaling of, would it be possible to fif that somehow?


EDIT:
Here is the black background with all 4 angles...Doesnt look right though.




Damn.. Realized I left the edges on. Disregard.

i've tried to do this before and it was too hard. but good luck

good idea, you do realize you are using two different types of coasters though (check the supports). are you going to get rid of the supports though?

Well, I can't since it's not possible to do and there's no decent way to do the top half.

i'm sure there's probably a way to winhack the supports out and then just make it a ferris wheel under construction.

You are either not sure, or your are lying. Because the track image + support is one here. Look into the G1.DAT for more. You can't delete these supports with supports blockers Only the wooden supports under it you can delete, but the basic structure between the 90 degree angle from horizontal to vertical you can't.

You can in LL, so with winhack you can too in RCT2, I guess. Even though a coaster element looks like it's one image, there's an image for each tile. A small turn consists of 4 images.

Like if I don't know that ... I went threw the G1.DAT completely multiple times when I was busy helping Levis and JJ with RCTModified. And I didn't mean to delete one part of the coaster element, that's easy, but what I meant is to delete the supports of it, but maintain the track of it. That's impossible.

That isn't exactly what you said... Learn English and maybe you'll start to make sense one day.

It's through, not threw.

Mierenneuker ...

If the wheel doesn't has to be functional, you could take the track images and convert them to a CSO and also create an inverted one of it. And with ms_paint or photoshop or gimp you could delate the supports...

Like if object making is that easy ... Maybe everyone here should scroll to above and read what Geewhzz said.

i tried to do what you did in the first pic, with the air powered coaster. i got the images from the DAT file that contains them, the problem is when you invert them the shading is off.

Is it even possible to invert an image like that? Wouldent the isometry throw things of?

Hmmm...

I need an object just like this for a full park recreation... and mine can't be "Under Construction". I guess I'll find a way around it since it sounds pretty freaking hard to do.
