^ I have the supports like that on purpose. I'm trying to make it look like the new Texas Giant, which is an Intamin Prefab. The laterals make it way stronger...

[DDRman732865]

Better, for sure. It will look even cooler when it's done. *hint*

[Poseidon]

This is a lot like Texas Giant. I love the supports, they're very realistic.

[Blackkitty]

I like the laterals, but I mean the actual box structure, there is not much holding the two sides together.

I am now announcing I will be recreating Bizarro/ Medusa at SFGA. This coaster now stands at 14 and a half granites, and will feature a lifelike station, and painted trains.

Thats Awesome, I really want to see this finished even though TBM did Scream, The mirror of it. Are you canceling the woodie?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Good luck, you'll need it. I assume you've seen TBM's Scream already?

[RollerManiac]

I like the idea, but as you can see in this picture, it's just like Scream!, only mirrored. I would suggest to ether recreate Bizarro @ SFNE , or Medusa @ SFDK. That's just my 2 cents.

[Blackkitty]

I say that you go ahead and build SFGA Bizarro. Who cares that TBM already did scream? Also it will be nice to see your style put to Bizarro, it will be cool to see someone else make this coaster.

Also, maybe you can finish it without a booster!

Bizarro SFNE would be very tough to get past the double helix, but if you modified the ending it would be very doable.

[Eggo]

No, I know TBM did Scream!, but who cares? They are mirrored anyways. And I won't do Sfdk. Look at Jokers Jinx and Python...

[Eggo]

I am done with the first part of the drop, please ignore the end as it is not supported. More structure to track connections will be added later. Those are not my doors... I still have mine.

It should stay unbanked longer I think.
And after that the banking should start way more abrupt.

[alpal]

^Agreed
Will you have a chain guide? I think that would make it really cool.
Other than that, there is really nothing else to comment on.

[Jumpge]

Ok, I had to do a double-take to check if you were a builder when I saw that first picture compared to the_burrito_master's. The drop looks very clean, and very realistic, but just unbank it a little until the end of the track you've built, and start banking at the same angle you have it at now but in that spot.

[Eggo]

Ok I think I fixed it. ^ That was because it's not supported.

Scream wasn't perfect either :')

But this is awesome, looks a lot better.
And now build on!

[Knexrule11]

It looks exactly like the real thing to me! Move on. I was wondering though, do you think you'll be able to get through the whole layout without a booster?

[HamenChiz]

Really smooth and nice job on the drop.

1 Tip: if the drop shakes a bit one solution is to add cross beams against shaking.

This is one thing i use on my coasters.

Example:

If the train goes to a banked turn going to the right it is best to place a cross beam at the opposite of the track:

GOODLUCK

Looks very good and smooth to me! I hope you can make it through the whole layout without a booster. Build on, and good luck!
