It would look better on concrete. Though, I didn't know you could make the border invisible on a scrambler; thought it'd make the vehicle glitch like it does on other flats.

 

 

It still glitches the way coupon did it. just plain land textures, like the grass, at least help prevent the glitching.

 

Still looking nice, coupon.

Coup- Nice start with it- I'd be curious to see the full- length of the coaster, as I'd like to check the proportions on it. The colors are great- and the custom supports are, to be polite, the best I've seen on ANY Schwarzkopf RCTII coaster ANYWHERE at ANY TIME. Flawless. And Impressive.

OK: Not too shabby: But let's break down some of the ride in depth a bit:

 

On the 'spike' end of the loop (Far end) you might want to re-think the drop down after the loop- The rule of his for Shuttle Loops is this: The track is at the exact same height starting the loop as it is exiting the loop- no matter which installation it was, as they were stock-builds.

 

Here is a shot of King Kobra at KD- the first Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop built.

 

For your launch track, you might consider removing the rest of the catwalks on the right hand side in their entirety; Most of His shuttle loops did not have dual sided catwalks, but rather, parks would install them as an after-market modification (as in not made by Him, but usually a contractor therein). Also, you can eliminate the catwalks in their entirety on the loop end- Its' quite rare to find those, too- as those were also an aftermarket add on. (Personally, the two parks that did it were afraid their crappy mechanics would cause on of His works to 'improperly stop' like that.) Here's a pic of one of His other coasters: Greased Lightning- which doesn't have the egress walks:

The support towers look flawless all round- but you -might- consider coloring the mid-columns under the loop concrete colored, or to match the other footers (blue) under the ride. Those weren't structural steel, but rather, concret buttress type columns- here is the problem in RCT II: The loop element, while nearly perfect, sucks for the Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops, in their entirety, as they aren't the same proportions as the 'real' thing- so a bit of improvise might be necessary.

 

If anything, you're really close to a perfect example of the Schwarzkopf shuttle loop- a few minor revisions, and you're there.
