Cool [F&F Industries] A B&M Looper

After what seems like forever, I was able to put together the pieces of my newest coaster's lift today. I was waiting for the carpet to be cleaned and it was finished yesterday.

My newest coaster will be a 7 foot tall B&M looper. I want to see how much pieces I have now, so thats why its so big.
I couldn't find my camera so I used my new phone to take the pictures.


By the end of the day I should have the drop done. (hopefully)

Re: F&F Presents: A B&M Looper

I'll tell you this ahead of time. When you are making your turning drop, make sure you don't finish it too early. Make it as long as possible in relation to the drop height.

Re: F&F Presents: A B&M Looper

THAT TOOK LONG ENOUGH. I built the whole drop in two days after disappearing for a week...

That bump you see in the ALMOST SIDE VIEW, isn't really there.




I had to make it a 180 degree turn instead of a 135 so.....COMMENT....please?

Re: F&F Presents: A B&M Looper

This looks totally epic already, and it's only a drop... Perfect, IMO, except for that bump which you said wasn't really there. I'm ready for a gigantic loop...

Good job kitty :P

Has it tipped over yet? haha.

That turn looks amazing, although the 135* would have fit better.

Re: F&F Presents: A B&M Looper

I feel like, in the second picture, it seems to get sharper as it goes on, rather than gradually getting straighter. I know it'd be a pain to fix, but I think it'd look a bit better if you curved it more...

Re: F&F Presents: A B&M Looper

TH is dead on, it's too sharp just before it returns to being straight. You're a bit off of what a B&M drop is supposed to be.

That's gonna be fun to fix...
