That looks epic! I think Euphoria will have a rival! Although I think you ahould use normal cars.

I really like it and your speed looks good! I also like the look of the actual micro knex inverted trains! They do look very nice on micro coaster's I have to say...

Thanks for the comments, guys. I got the lift working, and I made the launch, and got it working nicely. And I didn't have the launch made when I took the first 4 pics.

The launch works great, although I haven't tested it with the train yet. The lift also works like a charm. I tried using regular motors, but they were too slow, and the train wouldn't quite make it through the pre-drop.

Comment! Be harsh!

Somehow I missed the last updates of this, but it's awesome! I would first like to see what comes after the loop instead of the launch. Your launch looks cool though :)

Oh! Stealing ideas form Bobsled I see? Well, it actually looks really good on a VV inverted coaster I must say. I would also like to see what comes after the launch, as well as the fabulous loop.

Wow! Nice coaster! Although I think you should try using a couple more cars if you have them. It would look a little better with a 5 or 6 car train, but it's your choice. You've inspired me. I'm going to build me a small VV now... :D

The supports are great but the top of the cork has to be a little flat at the top and a little more twisty like this : Patriot (Worlds of Fun)

Whoa I've never seen this before now. This is pretty sick RCE! Looks a lot like my coaster just twice the size. :D

I agree with JP on the shaping. My only gripe is the amount off speed you've lost. You've lost half your lift height in only two elements. I think using regular cars would help that. But either way, this is the kind of micro coaster I like to see.

Chatting while building = win.

I remember this. I really like that train.

Can't think of anything that hasn't been said already except...
Nice supports :tmbs

Dang, that looks really good. What happened to the epic pre-lift elements that you had on the first page?

Thanks, and hopefully this looks a little better.

Thanks, and it's actually not that much bigger than your's. And I've only lost two orange rods of height.

Thanks. And I realized that I wouldn't have enough pieces, so I took apart the whole pre-lift.

I built a little bit more, and I need to fix the pullout, I'll do that later. And I realized that it's not a corkscrew anymore. Lol.

In the second picture it seems that the second half of the "cork" is drawn out too much. Since that is such a funky element, I'm not sure if it's wrong or not. Please continue.

I like it. It's like an inclined dive loop-screw :D
It looks very strong. Good job.
