I started this last night and am looking for feedback. The objective is to build an Oblivion-style portal for lava monsters to pour out of.

People have long known about the Bermuda Triangle as being a dangerous place for ships and boats, but New York City has its own version known as Hell Gate. This name was earned because this narrow straight, where the swirling waters of the East River push against the churning ones of the Long Island Sound, had very dangerous conditions and claimed hundreds of ships over the years, going all the way back to when the Dutch called this place New Amsterdam.
Hell Gate Bridge was opened in 1916, allowing train service between New Jersey and New England. This 4 track arch bridge was the longest of its kind in the world when it was opened.

Opened in 1916, The Hell Gate Bridge, is a 1,017-foot long steel through arch railroad bridge in New York City. The bridge carries two tracks of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and one freight track across the Hell Gate, a strait of the East River, between Astoria in Queens, and Randalls and Wards Islands in Manhattan.

Jigokudani or "Hell Valley" is a spectacular, appropriately named valley just above the town of Noboribetsu Onsen, which displays hot steam vents, sulfurous streams and other volcanic activity. It is a main source of Noboribetsu's hot spring waters.
From the valley, there are attractive walking trails through the wooded hills above Noboribetsu. If you follow them for about 20 to 30 minutes, you will get to Oyunuma, a sulfurous pond with a surface temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and a smaller, even hotter, mud pond nearby.
Yeahhhhhh, I have a spoiler this time (: Look who I found, maasquerade Odelia!! Already saw her last week but whateva. They also had the mermaid bitch, who I will probaply get next week. Better pics coming tomorrow ^^
A little bit of history...
The Hell Gate Bridge was completed in 1917 by the Pennsylvania Railroad (It was actually part of a Pennsylvania subsidiary called the "New York Connecting Railroad.") The Hell Gate was the last link in a massive project (built in the first two decades of the twentieth century) that includes the Pennsy's Hudson River tunnels, Penn Station itself, the East River Tunnels and the Hell Gate connection of that main line to points north and east, including New Haven and Boston. Remarkably, this line crosses the East River twice in the space of just a few miles -- one in a tunnel near 34th Street, then again on the Hell Gate Bridge. It was the last -- and surely one of the largest ever -- private railroad projects in this country. The construction of these rail facilities today would cost tens of billions of dollars.
To put this in perspective: the Hell Gate Bridge was the last link in a rail line that allows long-distance passenger trains to travel from Washington to Boston via New York ... in what is now called the "Northeast Corridor." This is the passenger rail line that connects the most densely populated region in North America, and the line that carries a huge percentage of this nation's long-distance rail passenger traffic.
As previously noted, the Hell Gate Bridge was completed in 1917. The United States entered World War I in that year, and nationalized the railroads as part of the war effort. The railroads remained nationalized for another five years. After de-nationalization (and with the rise of the motor vehicle), the railroads were greatly weakened. The Hell Gate could not have been built by the Pennsy just a few years later. As I say, this was the last major private railroad project in the nation's history.
The original plan for the New York Connecting Railroad was even more ambitious. It was to have included a rail freight tunnel from Jersey City to Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. That tunnel would have reduced highly inefficient freight railroad car floating operations across the Hudson River, and would have enabled freight trains from points west and south to run directly into New York City. The line would have used existing trackage through Brooklyn and Queens (that still exists) to connect to the Hell Gate Line in Queens, which, in turn, would have enabled freight trains to run from New Jersey to New England.
The Pennsy's failure to build that tunnel was a major loss for New York City. With the demise of almost all railroad car floating operations across the Hudson, virtually all freight into New York City (from points south and west) must arrive by truck. Today, the only way a freight train from the west can reach New York City and New England is to travel 125 miles up the west shore of the Hudson River to Albany, cross the Hudson, and then travel 125 miles down the east shore of the Hudson River. The enormous amount of truck traffic on the George Washington Bridge (and the resulting pollution and congestion) is a direct result of the failure to build the Cross-Harbor rail freight tunnel.
Congressman Jerry Nadler spent over 20 years in a quixotic quest to obtain Federal funds to build the Cross Harbor rail freight tunnel. Of course, the project would cost billions.... and it almost surely will never happen. And so: the largest city in the United States does not -- and probably never will -- contain a direct freight railroad link to most of the rest of the country.
One final piece of speculation: The five-mile long Hell Gate Bridge need not have been four tracks. (Today, one of the four tracks is abandoned ... one track is used for infrequent freight trains, and the remaining two tracks are used only for Amtrak long-distance trains between New York and Boston.) Had the Pennsy instead decided to have built the Hell Gate as a three-track or two-track bridge, the money saved would have been more than enough to have built the Cross-Harbor Tunnel in the period preceding World War I.
In a few years passenger rail traffic will be dramatically increased on the Hell Gate Bridge. Metro North is planning to introduce direct commuter rail service on the New Haven Line to Penn Station via the Hell Gate Bridge. The project will include four new Metro North stations in the Bronx along the Hell Gate Line. This is a welcome development not only for New Haven Line passengers ... but also for fans (like myself) of the Hell Gate Bridge. Because the Hell Gate Bridge has no present commuter rail service, it is virtually unknown to people who live in the New York area. The introduction of commuter rail service will bring increased attention and visibility to this magnificent structure.
Apropos of this: The Hell Gate is a twin of the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia. The latter bridge is often regarded as the national symbol of Australia. Yet, at present, the Hell Gate -- located in the middle of the most important city in the United States -- is virtually unknown in its own country. Perhaps this will change with the introduction of Metro North commuter rail service.
To eneter, you must pass through Hells Gates.
This is the entrance to Macquarie Harbour, near Strahan on the west coast of Tasmania. It is affectionately called Hells Gates, relating to to the original convicts' claim that it was their point of 'entrance to Hell', their Hell being the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station on Sarah Island and the outlying surrounds of the harbour.
This is the only accessible point into the harbour by boat. At 120 metres wide it doesn't leave much room for error. On the left we have the Entrance Island lighthouse and off to the right, Bonnet Island Lighthouse.

Boca do Inferno ( Hell´s Mouth) is a chasm located in the seaside cliffs close to the Portuguese city of Cascais, in the District of Lisbon. The seawater has access to the deep bottom of the chasm and vigorously strikes its rocky walls, making it a popular tourist attraction
