So, about the video, if you haven't guessed already, I used MCEdit for most of this build. It was just too massive to place each block into the world. Walking on foot to get the
shot at 2:15 took about 8 or 9 minutes, and the video was 3.5GB! I don't think I'll build anything this long again. Too much hassle to get around in vanilla Minecraft. I wanted to
build a bridge with significant architectural detail, and I haven't uploaded any suspension bridges yet, so I built this one, and I went all out and made it full size.
102 blocks/meters from the lowered sea level to the top of the balls on the towers. about 450 blocks from tower to tower. And the whole structure is almost 2000 blocks long, I
think. I wanted to include the archway at the entrance, but I gave up trying to do the other end so it just stops suddenly. This is the first time I used MCEdit for more than just
messing around. Saved days worth of work. I just wanted to build something huge and I did just that.
The subway tracks are actually one giant loop with a crossover so you can ride every inch of the track in one sitting. I haven't completed a full run yet, but I'd imagine it would
take almost a half hour to get back to where you started. Speaking of long times, rendering the last 30 seconds of the video, with all the masking and multiple tracks, that took 8
hours for Vegas to wrap up. The rest of the video took about 18 minutes, lol. Overall, I probably spent about 16 hours building/MCEditing the entire build, and another 6 to 8 on
the video side of this production. I'd like to think I'm getting pretty good at it, for being completely self taught.
Hope you guys like the video. Thanks for all the comments, likes, upvotes, embeds and subscriptions. You guys are the best.

Coordinates for the center of the bridge are x: 350, y: 64, z: 100. Pretty much anywhere on z: 100 will land you on the bridge somewhere.
