It's not much but hey, it's a start. Here is my winter coaster for 2011.

Lookin pretty good.What's next

[maarten12]

looks good. Is it going to be a looper? I really like the backbone of your lift

[CCI]

I like the back bone other than it appears to be sagging, so you might want to ad another support in there. Other than that it looks nice.

[Jumpge]

Do jealous of you right now! That is a really nice backbone support dude! I think i might use it sometime if i need to! Very nice! And its a looper right?

[jespercoasters]

The straight part of the lift hill is alittle bit bended but i thin when the tubing is on it it will be over. If not make it stronger. The crest i okay

[Knexrule11]

Looks good. I would guess this is a B&M Looper? Looks good, and I don't see any sagging in the backbone. You have a layout planned?

Thanks! A loop next probably.

Thanks! Yes it is a looper. Glad that you like the backbone.

I'm not sure about the backbone sagging. I might add a tube support there though when the coaster is done.

Lol, thanks. I will be happy for you to use it! I was first thinking of doing a tube lift and using the same lift structure as ~steelspectrum~ did on Leviathan. That is how I got the idea so, I have to give some credit to him on that!

Yeah, like I said. The lift is not sagging but, when the coaster is done I might add a tube support there.

More of a floorless. I do have a layout planned. Only 3 people know.





Update!

I have been working on the drop and I think that it came out pretty well. The only thing that I am not sure of the heartlining on the pre-drop. I also think that I might lower the drop one small grey rod ( About an inch ). Here are some pics of what I have built:

Looks like the drop should be wider, or it's the straight spot thats bugging me.

I do too, hmmm, where did I see that before???

[The Stig]

The drop looks good. But I would move it closer to the lift and make the pull-out a little bigger.

I made something for you.



The drop should start where you have that blue tubing.
And here's a picture of a whole drop.

EDIT: Okay, yes. That is a pretty bad picture comparison. I just wanted to bring his attention to the big straight spot. Jonny, if you do plan on keeping it that length, could you make it a dip or something? Like Tsunami.

The straight spot is suppose to be their. That is how wide I need the drop to be because of the layout.

~steelspectrum~'s Leviathan????

I thought that the pullout was too big. Move the drop more to the lift!?!?!?!??!

[the_burrito_master]

@ Stig, the camera angles look very different. I don't think he can even shorten it that much. Also look how big you left the ss track.

I'm not saying it doesn't need to be done, because that heartlined section is way too long and strait. try to make the heartlined section only 2-3 yellows long.

Would it be ok for me to leave it like that. I need the long pre-drop for the coaster. I wanted the coaster to take up a lot of room because of where it is going for Christmas. Also, if i try to move it, I will defiantly Mess it all up.

[Blackkitty]

I agree that the part before it starts to drop is too long. Make it shorter!

[2015ASM]

cant believe i missed this thread.... anyway looks good so far, besides the points that they're talking about

[jespercoasters]

i like it but just do wath the stig said

[Helmut]

The drop looks fine to me. I can't wait to see the loop.
Go on!

[Jonny]

I actually really like long pre-drops for some reason. I just guess that it is my building style so i'm going to leave it.

Lol. I miss threads all the time. I missed the first three updates of ~steelspectrums~'s Celsius and that got comments alot of times. Again, i'm going to go with what I think I best so i'm going to keep the long pre-drop.

i like it but just do wath the stig said

I actually can't do because of the way that it drawn. It just wouldn't work.

The drop looks fine to me. I can't wait to see the loop.
Go on!

Finally! A good builder who agrees with me! How Did you know that there was going to be a loop?




Wow! Thanks for the comments! I have an update.


I have built a loop. I built it 2 times. The first time I built it it was 6 granties exactly and it went WAY too fast. I un-oiled the cars and made the loop a little bit taller and it still goes fast but, it will have to do I guess. Now, here are some pictures:

Loop

I was thinking of doing a dive loop. I don't want to mess around and try to make a cobra roll because that would just take up time. An Immelmann is out of the question!


-Jonnycoaster

[ForgotToGrowUp]

The loop looks perfect! Nice job.

unoiled your cars?? You can never have too much speed! Just make the loop taller or put an element before it.
