Those action shots are beautiful, Jumpge.
The elements that you made look absolutely incredible.
This coaster turned out extremely well.
I agree with alpal. This is the best knex suspended coaster I've seen.

[HamenChiz]

This is the BEST SUSPENDED COASTER I'VE EVER SEEN!
I love the action shots.

Wow! This thing has become huge! But it is very smooth too! This is the best suspended coaster I have ever seen! I can't wait for the final video!

^For me it's a hard choice whether Avalanche or Bobsled is better, but this is great anyways. Good job Jumpge!

to go back a little, I totally agree with what Max said. His advice for the final vid is exactly what i did for the LDD video: tons of clips, longer shots than needed so that you can crop them out perfect, all diff. angles, and organized into folders. The folders thing is HUGE. PLus if you have a tripod that can help ALOT. Man, this thing is extremely awesome and it is a beast! An elegant, smooth flowing beast. Best suspended i've seen so far. I just wish i had it in my garage right now so i could play with it.

Wow, I am really impressed by this coaster. You took my suspended car design and expanded it, and built something incredible. The layout has a great flow too!

Jumpge, I was also looking over the pics and on the first car and I saw you install 2 yellow/grey connectors on the very first part of the car Are they supposed to look like the bumpers they have on suspended coasters or were they on there for another reason?

[ForgotToGrowUp]

Fantastic job on this. Extremely original and well built. Really looking forward to the final video.

[Jumpge]

Well guys, here is just a little sneak preview of what is to come.

Bobsled brake run test

I also have started automating the ride with motors and such to carry the cars through the station and up the lift, so they should be done soon. After that, I can start filming for the final video.

[MaxXimumPain]

I keep seeing the brakes at the end - i feel like a noob, but where/how do you make those? - i keep using this weird lever brake

[RNB]

Those brakes are actually a bit too strong, I recommend putting them up a bit higher to slow the cars a bit less down. It looks really good, move on!

This coaster is so awesome! I absolutely love the action shots with the train swinging out, so epic. Can't wait for the final vid.

[Aaron]

I'm so exited to see it finally finished! I just love everything about it! I can hardly wait for the final video! Absolutely incredible job!

[Jumpge]

Thanks a lot guys, I'm glad you like it so much!
Well, after two days of editing the video and footage, Bobsled's final is here!



Enjoy!

[RNB]

Cool! I saw everything 100 times, but it's so good that it keeps interesting!

[A.S.C.]

I absolutely LOVE the slo-mo shots! They showed the true swinging as if it were a real AD swinger!

[RollerManiac]

Let me list the things on this coaster that are amazing: Oh, wait, I forgot, EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! The ending could of had been longer, but it was still cool, and also, the supports did move a little, but it's nothing major. You really did a good job on this, Jumpge! Your best coaster yet and the best suspended coaster I've ever seen!

Well, Avalance was cool two. :)

[alpal]

Wow. That was an epic ride. The only thing I would have done if I were you is make the coaster lower, as in, make the swinging more epic. But hey, you are like the second person to make a suspended coaster.

[TheSUCKCrew]

I think you had too many speed throughout the ride.
I mean, I do understand you need that to make them swing nicely and stuff, but the speed gets a little unrealistic...

Besides that, I find this an amazing coaster.
It's really epic, well done, your best by far.
You improved a lot.
