it looks good!

if it doesn't shake, it is ok, but maybe you can add one more tube

[Kevyn230]

^ That was what I was thinking I should do, but I wanted to know what everyone think I should do.

Well I am off to bed so leave more comments below!

[Blackkitty]

Wow the shaping is fabulous! One thing. For those track stregtheners, your 45 degree connectors are spaced pretty far. Maybe you can put more on?

[alpal]

I see some uneven spacing of cross ties:

[Kevyn230]

Blackkitty: Thanks! I don't have alot 45 degree connectors so I am trying to save as much as possible, but if I have enough at the end I will put more.

alpal: Hopefully I have spaced them evenly now, and thanks for the picture... I am more of a picture guy than text.

Well I added a extra tube so it is stronger and have made it into a more MF type overbanked, but it is still pretty rounded.




I need a new layout and I don't know what to do so, I am hoping you guys can make one for me!



Use this picture for a referance of what space left I have got... Comment please!

[maarten12]

Actually this looks really good. If you don't have enough 45* connectors you should use less track strengtheners, they're not really effective now. A J-turn or upward helix to the left would be nice !

[alpal]

Question: how much speed does it have around that turn?

[GreenAppleW]

looks good!

[finrollercoaste09]

looks very good! :tmbs

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

Wow, the drop and first element both look great, a huge improvement from your last coaster! I love where this is going, I think a slight turn to the left and then a J-turn to the right parallel to or under the lift would look really good.

[Kevyn230]

maarten12: Thanks! I have taken out some track strengtheners so I will have enough for some other parts of the track. Thanks for the layout idea, I'm thinking of putting yours and RCF layout together because you both have the same idea with the J-Turn.

alpal: It goes through with just 1 car, but I have a video update about now so you can see yourself.

GreenAppleW: Thanks!

finrollercoaste09: Thanks again!

rollercoasterfanatic919: Thanks a lot, and I think it is a massive improvement as well. Same with maarten12 I am combining yours and his together (if I don't get any more layout idea's).

Here is a update video on the coaster because alpal wanted to know have fast it goes through so, to make it simple, I added a test video. Can you guys give me more layout ideas know you know how fast it goes?



Comment please!

[alpal]

It has quite a bit of speed, more than I would expect for an unweighted train. Can't wait to see more!

[Kevyn230]

^ Yep, even I was surprise the first time I tested it.

Well, now you know the speed, you can maybe give me more layout idea's! So, I am going to bed so please leave any suggestions down below.

[Kevyn230]

Sorry for the DP but I have got another update!

So I am combining RCF and maarten12 layout together to make a slight turn left, into a J-turn and finish off with a helix but I don't know if I should put a Rosebowl instead of the J-turn? I have alot of speed left and I am wanting to challenge myself. I have bought some more knuckle connectors to help me with this aswell.





Don't worry, the exit of the buckel type thing hasn't been finish. Comment please!

[Sniggeh]

Well the entrance the the buckel-thing needs more banking, and so does the exit, so yeah. Please fix that.

[scott]

Not much to comment on, But it looks good i like the use of colors to

[Kevyn230]

Sniggeh: I have tried banking it but the supports do strain and it broke one of my ladders . If there is any way that I can bank it more without straining it I would.

scott: Thanks!

I got some new pieces to help me build and I thought of adding a rosebowl type element in it.

[Aaron]

Ooh, I like that rose-bowl thing, but there is a bump in the last picture near where the rose-bowl starts, and the top of the hammerhead is sagging. Those connection from the tubes look pretty weak though. Fix those things and it'll be great. Anyways, good job.

[Kevkillerke]

^ want to comment the same.

fix that please

[Kevyn230]

Aaron: Thanks! The bump on the rosebowl I think was only the tubing but I did modify it a little and the Overbank is quite strong but I put a stronger connecto on it (hopefully it works better).

kevkillerke: Same as Aaron

Just got a little but more done because holidays ended and we are back to school.
