It's very good job!

[KHrulez]

this is gonna be the biggest thing since diamondback...

feed your turn some McDonald's (works every time)

next build intimidator 305, its been screaming for a recreation!

EDIT: sorry just found the other one, what we need is DOMINATOR

[Cardsandcoasters]

I dunno dude, I really think it should be wider. This was the best pic I found on rcdb.com: http://rcdb.com/594.htm?p=30478. Even though it is a low angle, the over bank in the background is much wider than yours. It just looks really off to me.

Here's a comparison picture to picture 7 above:

But it seems like I'm the only one that is noticing this? Great MF sign btw!

[love4kanex]

I agree, it needs to be wider.

[Blackkitty]

Yeah, I notice it too. If you can't make it wider, scrap the recreation. the forst overbanked needs to be perfect. Its the best part of MF! Right now it kind of looks like Diamondback's hammerhead/turnaround. You should make it wider.

I went down to work on the turn then i looked at a picture of the locqation of the turn and saw that when the turn hits 90* it should be at the 2nd big support on the lift. Mine went to the 1st, And to fix it I decided to, yes put it on a strict beans and deep-fried rice diet.

Here's what happened after 2 days on this insane diet.







It seams to have expanded so rapidly that a few of the supports have dis connected! What a strange phenomenon.

EDIT:Btw, it's one red rod wider.

oh and don't comment on the shaping of the heartline or pullout of the over bank, I know it's horrible, I just decided to stop building after I got the first half re shaped.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I was going to say, the heartlining on the pullout is terrible
I think you could even make the overbank a little wider, but nonetheless it's better than before.

[the_burrito_master]

Hahahaha yeah I was being really rough with it when I was moving everything. To be honest it looks a ton fatter in person.

[The Stig]

If it helps any... I got this from Google Maps

[the_burrito_master]

Hey, thanks man

[ForgotToGrowUp]

I think it looks awesome. I have been struggling to build an overbanked turn for a few days. I can't even get it good looking enough that I am willing to post any pics of it yet!

[BGTKing]

Looking very good Burrito. Would love to see MF finished. I can't count how many times people have tried over the years of this site.

[KHrulez]

make the bank into the flat turn more gradual, other than that you're on the right track

[finrollercoaste09]

cool i like your supports!!!! 5/5

[Cardsandcoasters]

It deffinantly looks a lot better, but since you haven't worked super hard to shape it and such it'd be fantastic if you made it even wider! Put this link as one of your tabs and 'tab' back and foreward between that picture and your coaster. It needs to be a little bigger, especially on the left side. And could you take more pictures so we have more angles to see? I'm super nitpicking this just because it's Millennium Force, and it does need to be perfect .

[Jumpge]

You should make the turn wider like this...



It's not much, but i think it will do the job. Please fix this and you're good!

Thanks! I've seen it attempted a few times.

I think you'll find this here update more satisfying.

Thanks, it is hard to shape I don't want to make it any wider because I'm going to have to actually smash the layout into my basement. And if i made it wider id have to put more angle into everything. I guess you'll just have to see it.

I don't think I'm going to i explained to CAC my reasons it will just throw off the entire coaster if I do that any more than it already is. Also i think there's some trick photography going on here because it looks way skinny in that pic than it does in for real.

Update:

Idk why that exit of the over bank looks so weird, just disregard that haha.






little bumpy because I was really being rough with it.


you may now comment.

[SFMMCrazy]

Wow,This is great.Keep it up!

[SuperTKDKid]

Its looking good, however i notice that you have that air hill headed straight towards that dresser. Any plans for that?

[Kevyn230]

^ I noticed that too.

Wow, I really love how this is turning out. It doesn't look like much has been done from the holidays but I don't care how fast it has been built. It is the quality and it is superb. Well done!
