The Skyrail is nearly done
List of some of the contributors/people who helped out with materials and the construction of the rail:
Spoongod

Adrenalynnn
Thank you!! people without you we'd of not got this done!!
Perhaps you can lead it around to the PvP maze. Will save some people a load of ice farming.
entrance will be at 2031,1591. The maze is still under contruction but i hope to get it done soonishly
I don't know if I'll be bringing it there I have to see where it is first to see what direction I have to go in
I found where the entrance is on the live map and that a good bit away and I've already built some of the rail and like I said before it goes north and I cant't take it all down then start all over again going south unless I can get a lot of spruce and I can't do all that myself
Corey, since atm there isn't a way for non-donators to get back to spawn town I think the Skyrail project should be finished as you originally planned it. I'm sure people will help with materials and buildings to get it done.
xXunpureXx asked me if i wanted to make a town with him the other day so a rail would be great for that , cfuk needs more towns again .

Corey i am switching to Jungle Wood instead of Spruce for the Tracks as you can get alot more in a shorter space of time(4 Jungle Saplings to create a Large Jungle Tree gives alot of wood). We can use Spruce to indicate where the redstone torches are instead of the Jungle Wood.
The Skyrail will continue to go to New Spawn/Spawn but I will not be able to try to build more from Monday-Thursday since I've got important stuff going on then, so I am looking for people to help with the construction of this, so if you want to help reply saying I'm interested or I'll help or something that let's me know you want to help and if you've been allowed to help and don't know what your doing ask Stucuk (since me and him are building it) if he's on the server or ask me on this thread mkay
Jungle Wood and Rail donations would be welcome.
i'll help out a bit. What is needed most? Just jungle and/or spruce wood? i'm happy to help with track building, too. Is the path for it already planned?

Any wood would do. Jungle is the easiest to get in large numbers (As you can use 4 Jungle Saplings to create a large jungle tree).
Rails are needed the most out of all resources(as well as Powered Rails).
We're about half way between old spawn and new spawn. Though thats not with rails, just the wood the rails go on.
We're making up the route as we go based on what user builds are currently around. We try to stay away from builds where possible(Though some people have built under the skyrail. We have never built on top of someones build. People are free to build under the skyrail as long as there is at least 10 blocks distance between the bottom of the skyrail and a users build).
@Corey: I have simplified the Maintanance Walkway. Future bits of it are 2 blocks lower and in the middle of the 2 rail lines. This means less wood is needed for it and because its lower we can walk directly under the blocks which the Redstone Torches are attached to.
okay so should I try and get a plot in New Spawn for a Station or should we wait a bit, it'll have to be south of the actual point at were you spawn, don't want a Skyrail going straight through spawn or any other ideas tell me
i do recommend building a station and a bit of rail at new spawn so others know where it will be. best bet is probably somewhere south of paragers reserved land around the bomberman arena
I was thinking somewhere near that path that takes you to the bomberman arena and plus the station will be in the air so really we'll not be using his reserved land :3 idk
Now I'm thinking we should wait until we get closer to New Spawn then get a big enough plot round the outskirts of New spawn to build a station the plot would have to be big to make the station big but the station will be in the sky like the other one so on the ground in the plot we'll just build like a staircase up or if we could get a lot of pistons we could build a elevator.... what yas think about that idea?
An elevetator would be great! I think i saw a youtube video a while ago with a very compact design. i'll try to find that again.
Last time i tried to build a piston elevator it wouldn't work, the timings were all wrong. Think it may be impossible on a server. That was a while ago though.
Single player and Multiplayer is the same thing now, so it should work on both.
who put alot!!! of jungle wood and rails in the donations chest thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're really freaking close to Spawn I know because I looked at myself on the livemap and because I fell off twice and ran back in less than a couple of minutes so should I see if we can get a plot near the outskirts of spawn?
Okay we can't go into spawn so we're bringing the Skyrail close to spawn and I can't reach the server for some reason, Adrenalynnn is on the Skyrail any ways and he knows where it's going
