THX - this whole area has boats going under tracks (several times), train going under and above the tracks as well. Train also goes over boats and along boats in this area of the park as well.

Here are the crossing from below before ant supports or fine rock work has been done.

After the tracks crossover the river, they enter another cavern that is a larger room. This room will have the track dip into a pool of water and have mining scenery.

Here is this same area of track after working on the terrain and adding the water dip.

looking down into the cavern where this section of the track will before any work is completed.

looking back from a pics ago, here are the two tracks making the crossover after supports and lighting were added.

Adding custom supports in the water dip area.

A bit more terrain contouring and more custom supports added. You will need to wait until I share the final product to see much more here.

Here is the rest of this chamber with supports and some scenery added. You will not see this chamber again until she is closed up and completed.

After leaving that large cavern room, you once again cross back over the river and start a climb to the second lift hill. Here is what the track looks like doing the crossing without any supports added yet.

Love the shot with the water tower, gives me some old backlot tour vibes!

Here is looking up those two lift hills. Sheathing for the bridges is starting to be applied.

VERY atmospheric!

 

Here are these two bridges with more of the custom supports added (yellow arrows headed left to right). The orange lines in the distance are the track passing back over the river cavity later during the ride.

Some scenery added along side these lift hills.

Here is looking down on this section before I close it up. The yellow circle are the lift hills below the cave ceiling that will now be closed up. The green area is the beginning of adding the cave roof above the top part of the lift hills.

Here is a video of how I typically fill in the cavern ceilings and add lighting to interior/underground areas.

I hope/plan on sharing more videos like this in the future.

 

I agree about not spending too much time (or polys/pieces) on an interior that's only gonna be seen for a second or two as a coaster train whizzes by. Looks good! 👍

Here is the top of these lift hills. Starting to enclose them and add supporting rockwork below the tracks. And, you can see the chaos that's about ensue down below.

That cave looks awesome & super realistic!

Building up more support terrain and starting to enclose the next chamber.

Here is the next part of the rides before much work is done. The coasters come down from the lifts on the far right and move into a series of helix turns and dips and bumps over and under each other...and yes, that's the train ride track cutting through the middle of the coasters.

Looking down on the next section of track after the drop hills...the coasters skirt along side each other wobbling their way over more fire and lava. Here the lava is placed, but the tracks still need to be raised and smoothed out a bit still.

Adding all the custom supports and riggings.

Here is a view of this same section looking down the track.
