Hello coaster enthusiasts!

May I present you my last NL project? Yes? OK!

Actually this isn't my last NL project. Just my last one in NL1. I plan to make/finish coasters in NL2 after it comes out. I hope I didn't give you a heart attack with that opening statement.
I actually had a few different concepts in mind. I wanted to make a huge terrain coaster inspired by Iron Rattler and Overload, and then I felt like making a terrain strata coaster inspired by Recon J74 and Gyrfalcon, and then when I didn't feel like doing that, a Goliath-inspired woodie with a beyond vertical drop, but I wasn't sure that would be 'different' enough.
Feeling pressed for time and also wanting to make something awesome but not overly extravagant, I eventually thought of this fantasy coaster concept that combines a spaghetti bowl (with a little bit of polercoaster influence as well) with a strata-coaster and this was the result. The name was actually gotten from thinking about Florida's Polercoaster when I made it, and kinda drawing inspiration from it. It doesn't really have much to do with space or the North star.
Riders begin with a 118 mph launch into an upwards beyond vertical ascent into a hang time element 455 feet above the ground, and then descend into a colorful, twisty spaghetti bowl filled with loops and helices. Another 118 mph launch catapults riders over the 455 ft. top hat, and the dispatch is timed so that riders on the top hat travel underneath another train passing over them on that first inversion.
The fact that I used classic steel looping makes this an example of book ends because my first ever No Limits coaster was a classic steel looping as well. There was no particular manufacturer in mind. Just kind of a mash-up of different traits. Supporting was hard because I didn't use any references besides Kingda Ka, but after that I just kinda made it up as I went along.
