Hi guys! I'm back! For my 1000th post, I bring you:

A very small hyper named Gamma! I should be able to finish this thing.

Crest:



After the turn, I'm going to either have an overbank-ish element that turns back to the right, or an air hill with a turning pullout. So which one?

1000TH POST!!!

looks good so far...

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

This looks nice, the crest and beginning of the drop looks really appealing. I'll be watching...

[ForgotToGrowUp]

Is that gear after the crest far enough down? Looks to my eye that it will only be enough for a 3 car train to make it over...maybe.

[Britfag]

Sounds cool..
I hope I can keep up with this coaster

[the_burrito_master]

Wow I noticed something no one else did! Your crest has a bump in the beginning of it.

Like it a lot sofar, it's not often we see turning drops of that type.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Looks great! What kind of motor are you using?

[coasterfanatic11]

Wow! Thanks for all of the comments!

Thanks!

Wow thanks! That means a lot coming from you, boss.

Yeah, I'll see how it works. I'm thinking either a 4 or 5 car train, so I'll see how well that works.

Lol, maybe better than you did with Brennan's Ion? And thanks!

Yeah, that's because of the hinges. Any tips on how to fix that? And thanks, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "of that type?"

Wow thanks! It's the same kind as TH uses, but I don't know the site, so PM him and ask, and he'll (probably) give you the link to the site.

Thanks again for all of the comments! I decided to go with the overbank-ish thingy, and then I've got a layout up until the MCBR!

Another quick question: How many of you think that I should keep my name instead of changing it? (I was considering changing it to SaxMan_522)

Grr. DP.
Update! I finished the drop, and made a few structural changes to the supports. I also did some "planning"

some profiles:


And some overviews:










So there you go! And can someone please answer this question:

A cookie to whoever guesses what's next!

[~stεεlspectrum~]

No no, I like your username. Also the ride looks great, but it might have a little too much banking (assuming that's going to be a hill next).

[Jumpge]

OK, no dont change your name because its awesome already. Two, i love the ride so far but i think the next element is a hill. But, i think you should do a Stengel dive like Goliath at Walibi World(the biggest element you see in the pic besides lift and the focus of the pic). Please do that, or do that after the hill. Will look amazing!

[phatpug77]

It's looking good. I'm assuming you're doing an overbank next?

[Britfag]

I like CF11 as a name
It looks real nice, and I'm guessing a Stengel too..
With a curved pull-in?

[coasterfanatic11]

*bump*
Wow! long time no see! Anywho, you guys are in for a rare treat: a messy update!






So, whadya think? Comments?

Looking very nice and smooth man because i didn't spot 1 single bump , i think the next element will be an overbanked turn, and then a buckle

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Looks very nice, I can't find anything wrong with it at all! I was wondering what happened to this coaster...

[Knexrule11]

Shaping is fine. Glad to see this back! And I would recommend cleaning your room;)

[coasterfanatic11]

Geez. a month?! I'm having one heckuva time with this overbank. Help? (psst, could someone make a paint pic for me, I've already tried shaping it, and epically failed. Keep in mind that technically, this is my first SS (still, I know), and my last overbank gave me brain cramps as well.

[Knexrule11]

What kind of overbank are you looking for? Give me a good picture and I'd be glad to overlap it.

[coasterfanatic11]

I'm basically going for this shape, except with my curve at the beginning, and not as much turning.


thanks!
