Re: Celsius

I think you should start banking a tad earlier. Otherwise not bad.

Re: Celsius

Update!
NOTE: I haven't finished shaping the last part of the sidewinder yet. It will exit at 135*, like Storm Runner's.







You can also see a hint of the next element in the last pic, but you probably won't guess what it is

That's really nice, I love the turning pullout, it's very flowing. The tube supports look nice too. I like it!

Re: Celsius

^It's a 6x6x6 grey rod cube. Definitely something that can be over-looked.

Re: Celsius

I think the next element is a Zero-G-Roll.
The base is really cool.
You should let it go underground at least one time!

Re: Celsius

Looks nice. Is this going to be tube supported, because the lift is boxes?

Re: Celsius

I think that vertival lifts with such a drop are hard to make without of boxsupports.

Re: Celsius

I tried to make the lift look a lot more Gerstlauer, as you can see:



I also changed the second element to a sidewinder with a 90* exit, so I'll have more room for my layout. No update for now though.

Re: Celsius

Haha, thanks guys.

I tried my hand at a cobra roll. I think it looks pretty good, but unfortunately, it doesn't make it. Here's some pics and a vid:






don't ask what the noise in the background is...i have absolutely no clue.

So...what element should I do instead?

Re: Celsius

Woah nice c-roll...It's weird how your like 1/2 way done with that coaster and I'm barely through with the drop on mine, and I have more comments. Steel needs comments!

It's a shame it won't make it through. You should maybe try a few more supports if not, do an overbank.

Re: Celsius

It seems to be a little to sharp at the top causing the train to get stuck. Looks very nice though.

Re: Celsius

That's a shame that it stops at the top. It's a beautiful cobra roll, like a mini-Hydra. Does it just stall there or get stuck? I like the roll so much that my suggestion, if you'll take it, is making the lift a few inches taller

Re: Celsius

Looks like when the train stops its rather quick, so I think its a sharp spot. But its a nice C Roll.
