Pretty good, but make sure that the pullout is a LOT bigger.

Jep, that's a very tight pull out. Make a shoe collector bin underneath so people can retrieve their shoes afterwards

You have a very long tube underneath the lift going up. Maybe if you can connect them to the other lift supports the overall structure stability will increase.

I definitely recommend making that pull out longer, like this:

The pullout would make rider's legs blow up (not really, just making an example). Please try to make the pullout larger.

i can't because i don't have that much room in my living room.

[sdrawkcaBsihTdaeR]

Sorry guys, I can't make the pullout longer because of limited space.

[Jumpge]

I know you have limited space, but you can always modify the layout. If that drop remains the same, you will loose all of your speed in your layout right there, and have a very short layout on your ride. I highly suggest making it longer.

How do you not have enough room? It looks like you have plenty of room. IF you cant make the pullout any bigger, either make the drop smaller or the whole coaster shorter.

Also, for that chaindog, you can also just use a rubberband.

O.K.,here's the new updated drop I finished today:
And the original drop near the left side of this picture:

I see a straight spot near the beginning of the drop.

I still think that the pre drop and turn after the lift needs banking because it looks like it is banked the other way...

I'm afraid you don't see that your tube supports are extremely weak.

i used these kinds of tubes:

Perhaps you should read into trusses, triangles and their structural properties.

You can have it drop to the floor after your next inversion.

Maybe you did use our tut, but you didn't make them good. You have to use 7 rods tubes, not 4 rods. Please look better when you make them

I used 6 rod tubes, not 4, guess you couldn't see the whole tube from that angle.

Here's the new banked turn:

[RollerManiac]

^Then make it a turning pullout. That's way to small. Other than that it's looking great! And as most people know; I'm always willing to unique create layouts for people. I could make you a nice one that would fit in your space and experience.

Wow, nobody noticed the lift isn't straight? And that the crest is too sharp?
