NOTE: Leviathan is not cancelled, or even remotely postponed! This is a side project which will only take me a few days. I invented a way to make a shuttle coaster be able to go backwards through its launch, and even have a lift on its spike (like Mr. Freeze). Oh, and I made another launch too.
![]() ![]() ![]() The last part without tubing is the beginning of a loop. After it will be a vertical spike. ![]() Please comment!

Re: Shuttle Looper
It looks good. The turn shakes a bit, but I'm sure you'll resolve that. There may be a few bumps on the top too, but I can't tell from those views. Good job though.

Re: Shuttle Looper
Could I see it going back through the launch?

Re: Shuttle Looper
Well, my only concern is the bumpiness the rods are creating.

No, not right now, sorry ![]() Yes, I know, the rods make it a little bumpy. But the tubing kinda smooths it out, and I'm going to add middle tubing as well. The hard rods make the track really strong too, which is really important with tubes. And I took some better pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Shuttle Looper
It looks a bit better, but I know this is off topic, but the supports for the lift on Leviathan look stressed.

Re: Shuttle Looper
^^ Really? Well I'll just bend them back then...
^ That coaster is actually what inspired the layout. Thanks! Oh BTW, I am going to make the whole loop out of flexi's since the top is too tight for hard rods. How tall should it be?

Re: Shuttle Looper
It should be maybe 1ft-2ft tall I think that.

Over-achieve much? Looks cool, but I don't like the look of it's low-peaks, as it's going to have a vertical spike, and enough speed to rip you outta your skin when it goes back over, it'd look slightly more realistic, maybe even more epic if it was a little taller..

Re: Shuttle Looper
^ It's going to be about half the height of the loop. If I make it taller, wouldn't that make the top sharper? Or would it be going slow enough to compensate for that?

Re: Shuttle Looper
SS: I don't just mean taller, I mean larger, by a scale factor of 1.5 to 2.
bigger would look so much better..

Re: Shuttle Looper
Come on guys, its a prototype coaster to test his company's launch idea, the track really doesn't have to be perfect.

Test Vid That's the speed that it will actually be launching at...and it will be going slower when it goes backwards.

Re: Shuttle Looper
I see a sharp spot at the beginning of the loop.

Re: Shuttle Looper
The entrance to the loop looks strait. Also, I think the car is going too slow through the loop to make it around the second time.

Re: Shuttle Looper
^There is coming a spike with a chain ( i think so ). I think it looks good only the straight pull in, but it's a side project and it dont need to be perfect.

Re: Shuttle Looper
Just a little teaser...
![]() ![]() BTW I'm going to add brakes on the other side, so it should have a gentler stop.
