42-The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

42 will be a 6 foot tall strata coaster with tube supports. There will be many surprises, so you guys should definitely keep an eye on this.









The bottom looks a little funky to me, so I'm going to try to fix that. What do you guys think?

Edit: I won't be able to update at all today, I'm leaving to go to KBF in an hour or so.

Wow... this is going to be nothing short of epic. The tophat looks very nice as well as the pullin which is nice, but in the first picture it makes it look a little rushed upwards. Make it look more like this and I think it will look better. Otherwise, in picture #2 the launch looks like it is sideways to the tophat. Make that better and more straight then move on.

The supports are pretty cool but i think too that the lauch have to be moved more straight...

Looks very nice, I love those supports. But I think you should use the shorter pieces of tubing for the middle and the longer pieces for the outside, unless you have a lot of tubing. Is it a recreation or a custom? Also, what kind of launch are you planning on making? Anyways, it looks very good but could you add outside tubing to see how smooth it is? Great work.

Surprise!









Back supports


I bet you didn't see that one coming!

IMO, the track is going too much to the right.

Here's a reference picture : Mr. Freeze (Six Flags St. Louis)

I really like it, but I think you should move it to the left a tiny little bit.

Well, I really am enjoying the 'Surprise!' on this ride with an inverted tophat, bu you are going to have to change a lot of the ride to make it look really good.

-First thing to do to make the tophat better. The base of the actual ride is going to have to be bigger and I would make it about 2.5 gray rods wide like this.

-Secondly, in the second (how ironic!) picture the tower is looking more like Kingda Ka with an additional inversion tophat. You have to make the tophat look a bit more like Mr. Freeze's to be perfect. To do this, make the tri-base wider, and the track more curving an flowing like straight up, curve, straight down, curve like so.

When this is done, you are ready to move on and make the whole inversion. The pullin of the ride looks fixed too.

Looks good to me except for one thing, (below). seems like a combo of Mr. Freeze and Kingda Ka. I like it so far.
But where the pullout goes vertical, it seems a little sharp in the side view, just to let ya know.

World's Tallest Inversion. I like the surprise.

[reaperdoctor]

I agree with Stig. It shouldn't take long to sort out, though.

I think the twist looks fine so far. I think the heartlining would look awkward if the turn was moved further to the left.

Edit: Here's the pic of the heartlining.


I still haven't made the supports wider, I'll do that today.

[LaMbChOpZ]

I like it. Looks really good, no obvious problems, so make that top hat!
