Lifthill is bumpy, pull-out after first drop is way too
small, cobra roll looks GREAT, and the loop is creepy...
But overall it looks
pretty decent, if you change these few things.

Yeah, I can never make nice lift hills...lol...I
don't think the first hill's pullout is as bad as the second...I'll try to
take better pictures of the coaster...I'll take more pics in a few minutes...
EDIT: ok, more pics, and I will be trying to fix it later tonight, these are just
more pics to show.

Some parts of the ride look realy good. But others
are just not so great. The loop does look creepy. And the lift is just horrible. my
advise...always do 45 degree angle lifts. The kind where its not flat and not verticel.
The inbewteen connector. Ya

Well, the loop is very tight at the top.
^^22.5
degree angle is also nice, I used it for David, and it turned out well

I'd say that the loop looks creepy because:
1. It's very tight.
2. It's quite dark in the picture
3. Purple rails
and black crossties?!? That's just really scary

LOL I thought that purple and black would
make the loop look gothic...lol...ok, I'll try to fix the loop...any other comments,
suggestions, criticizing, or mean remarks? lol
EDIT: I don't see how
the loop is really that tight, I mean, it's an Arrow Dynamics loop...not
B&M...look at the loop on the Screamin' Serpent, that one is as tight as this
one, if not more...well then again, the people who made Screamin' Serpent
probably weren't even try to build something nice...they were probably just
wanting to get it over with...lol...if it's alright, I think I might just keep the loop
how it is...is that okay? any other comments, suggestons? heres a pic of the loop on
screamin' serpent and here's a pic of my loop...and I'll have more
pics in a while...

Yeah, but do you want your loop to look like the SS
loop? I mean. . it's not exactly the greatest. . .I mean look at some other loops,
like Westside's. . or Rollerdudes. . .or anyone's. I mean, you have the
elliptical shape down, but it's waaay too tight at the top. Just space it out a bit
more.

The ride looks a bit bumpy if you dont mind me
saying. And the lift is not a constant angle of what it's ment to be, like goes at 45
then at 63 degree's try and keep it constant(at the base of the lift it leans).

The SS loop on the box is seen from a different angle
then your loop... The SS loop sux, but isn't that tight at the top as yours.

alright, I'll fix it, but I'm just worried
that when I try to fix it that I'll just mess it up more, ok, pics will come in a
while.
EDIT: ok, let's see how you like this loop, I made it a little bit
fatter so it's not as tight in the top of it. more comments? suggestions?

Not that bad, still a little tight...but it does look like the
loops on GASM.
off topic- What is the image in your sig? Is really small
and unreadable..

My sig was a joke about this stupid kid in math
class...it was about Kingda Ka beating top thrill dragsters record, And it was to show
people who got mad because top thrill dragster was only beaten by 36 feet, it was to
show those people that it didn't matter how much the record was broken by, but
that the record was broken...and then above a pic of Kingda Ka it said
"KINGda Ka" only instead of capitalization it was underlined, but I
can't get this thing to underline in this post...
anyways, I was having
problems with the sig thing, so coastercrazy10 helped me with it so I could get a .jpg
IMG tag from photobucket, so he got that for me and he posted it in my signature and
it's just too small now...I'm not good with this sig stuff...lol...ohhh, heres
what my sig is supposed to be like...lol anybody know how to "resize" in
photobucket...yeah this is off-topic, I know...

Hey guys, I'm sorry for the lack of updates,
but I think I may end up fixing the loop to make it look like west's or rollerdudes
"B&M" loops...so, who thinks that it's a good idea?...but the
thing is I'm still worried about taking this risk, I'm worried that I'll run
out of supports or I'll just make it worse
comments?

Also, should I change My immelman (sp?) into the
kind of imelman that's on Chang? because I think that would save me some
supports to make the rest of this coaster better than it is right now...here's a link
for a pic of the Chang Immelman: http://www.coasterga.../SF/sfkk04.html

That is a dive loop. Immelmans start with the half
loop and then twist on the exit. Dive loops twist first, then exit with the half loop.

Fixing the loop:
Hey guys, my loop looks
horrible, it's not even worth showing because I haven't put tubing on yet,
but I'm worried about this thing now...I'll try to get pics tonight, but
don't expect anything too great....oh, and about that imellman thing, I thought it
was an immelman, but I didn't look close enough at the pic to see which way the
train was going, my bad, but should I still change the immelman too, but I think
I'll work on the loop for now.
uh...
