I also really like your photography. What kind of camera do you use, Elijah?

Thank you! To answer your question, yes, that is essentially what I am doing.Awesome so far, and everything looks stable and smooth. Even with out the tubing. And so essentially what you're doing is building section by section and then connecting them all outside?
Thats a fantastic question that is still somewhat oblivious to me! I think I'll break the super large elements down into smaller sections which will make traveling down 3 flights of stairs much easier.Beautifully shaped. Dang! But how are you going to get that out of your room?
I do agree with you so I made it stay banked a bit longer to the un-bank than it was before (as you can see). I know it isn't heartlined, but I don't want to heart line it as much as it is portrayed on the real thing because it will kill a lot of speed (as I've noticed with past coasters).Shaping is beautiful, but I have the feeling that the unbank is not suddenly enough. On leviathan, it looked like it snapped back, and had quite a large straight section afterwards. Can be just me, but other than that it's awesome
Lol. With the drop, I will eventually change it after I get this next element over with, assuming that it makes the hill. If not, I am going to leave it and go custom with this ride (or quite possibly do a different recreation where I would change it). Thanks!Dude, holy s**t this is so tall. Is it as tall as Diamondback? The overbank looks perfect in my opinion and I agree that the drop is a little too steep. Can't wait to see this done!
The test will come soon!Great job on the overbank, make shure you support the high-speed turn strong, so you don't lose tons of speed for the camelback! I want to see a test video badly!
I cannot see the picture. What is it?
Thanks, but I did change the element a bit to give it more banking until it un-banks as you can see in RBN's reply.The unbank transition is in an awkward spot, but I know that's where it is on the real element. Still, I'm almost sure that you would have shaped it differently if it was up to you.
I also really like your photography. What kind of camera do you use, Elijah?
Why thank you! The camera I use is a Nikon D3000 which is my parents, but I am able to use it for pictures of the coaster. Sadly, it doesn't take video.
Thanks man!Wow... just wow.... This is gonna look awesome!
So I think I can easily say that I could quite possibly have the record for the fastest building time of a coaster on this scale. Is this true?
If you didn't take the time to read the quotes (don't worry, I never do!) then you can see in RNB's reply of mine that I changed the first element's bank to un-bank to give it more banking up until the end. Anyways, here is the high speed turn that will lead into the camelback.
The next part will either be the most relieving part of the build or the most frustrating. Either way that it goes, after this next update for the camelback there will be a test video showing success or failure.
Stay tuned!

I just realized there is an air time hill before the camelback. Just sayin'
