I lost interest in Warhead, and decided to make a small B&M hyper. So far I've got the lift, the drop, and the top gear done: (Pictures are a little bit different than what I have right now, like the front has angled supports on both sides.)

The drop looks strait and its up to you but the lift doesn't have to be on that little of an angle.

It's fine, most B&M hypers have lifts and drops like that. The reason that there drops are normally strait is because of there huge size. Realisom counts, you know.

I think the lift has to be stepper but other wise it looks good

Yes, I do realize that it's a little too shallow, but that's the closest your going to get with knex.

I think it is fine, but if you want to make a BM hyper it does need to be a little steeper. You could make it into a 'Blitz' coaster because it has the style ,but I don't know how much speed you can keep up.

It looks nice, I would just make the pullout a little bit bigger. The drop also seems a bit straight. It is very smooth though.

It's really big in real life, it's just that the camera makes it look like that. To be exact, it's 21 inches (1 foot, 9 inches) tall, and 20 inches (1 foot, 8 inches) long.

I don't know, it's a direct side view, I don't think the camera could be playing tricks. It's not horribly small, but something I think fixing would make better. Not an absolute necessity though.

The pullout is a bit small but I wouldn't worry about changing it.

Yes, I would, for I just realized how many sharp and strait spots. He's what I talking about:

[Old_Hag]

Honestly, that looks fine to me.

[RollerManiac]

It's hard to see, but if you were here you would be changing it.

^Yeah I agree the pullout is too small. Also, are you gonna keep the straight drop? I don't personally like it.

Yes, but I'm making my pullout a little bit bigger, so it might not be as straight.

Looking good man!

Looking at Carowinds, Intimidator, i think that your drop should look more like this.



Keep in mind that the drop should have as many track to support connections as possible like on my Kannon. Great Job!

It does, and the new photos wont upload. By the way, it shouldn't look like a smiley.
