The title says it all...

LIES!!Q!!!!


If you want my true advice, a re-do this coaster would be better instead of destroying it. I figured that out when I made HyperJump; I kept messing up on my first attempt but then when I started over again, I kept the same idea but changed it a bit and that kept me interested in it more because you can come up with more ideas!

Please, whatever you do, don't give up!!

[Kevyn230]

Sorry I did cancel and I don't think there was anything that could make me like it. I know I made good coasters but I want to make them alot better (like everyone want to do ).

Well I am now building a woodie but I don't know how to supports it. I Don't have alot of granites.

Although it could make it less realistic, I think you should make the lift 45*. It will save you a lot of pieces and space if you do. Not much to comment on otherwise, but it looks good so far.

You could use a system like i have on blue streak but it took 7ft to get to a height of 3ft...

[colintaylor]

I like the supports. Where the grays cross. Was that from Gale by any chance? I'd need to see more of the lift to really tell. Plus, with woodies, once you go through/under any previous track work, you can take out those pieces. If you know what I mean.

[ForgotToGrowUp]

Crossing the grey rods is a good way to save granites. Other ways are to eliminate them wherever possible between the two sides of the structure. You can use greens on the diagonals instead of them or just clip greens onto the side connectors instead of putting granites on 3Ds.

Woodies eat pieces fast so look for ways to save granites and 3Ds wherever possible.

Yeah, you will really have to scrimp for a woodie.
But that gray-crossover idea is smart, does it interfere with the integrity?

[ForgotToGrowUp]

not at all I used it a lot on my first woodie. It puts a tiny amount of stress on things but no biggie.

Supports look really good. That's about all I can say.

I kept my lift because I not so worried about space at the moment. Just got a new SS for the pieces. Thanks!

I am sort of basing it on Blue streak for this first part.

No, got it from FTGU Nor'Easter (I think it is called that) and I also used this technique on Voltage.

Yeah, that is a good way so I am happy with it. I think I know what you mean, instead of the granite in between the two sides put a green metallic rod in a space that is empty. Got a new SS so I have more granites (and a SS car)

FTGU answered you question, and yeah. I am trying to get the longest layout I can get from a small height.

Thanks!

Here is a update, moved the track to the attic (where I built Oblivion).

Comments are appreciated!

[scott]

Pictures are very dark but from what i can see it looks ok halfway through the drop it looks weirdly shaped

Sorry for the dark pictures, bad lighting. I will try get a new camera (or get my old one fixed). I fixed the bump.

[MichaelG]

Awesome, looks good!!!

[Kevyn230]

^ Thanks!

Maybe some more comments, it will be appreciated.

[2015ASM]

Looks smooth and well supported. What kind of layout do you have planned??

[tornado96]

Looks good! Haven't seen a woodie in a while! (Apart for Fraggie...)

[Kevyn230]

Just anything that I can build to keep speed and save pieces.

Scott is making blue streak, that is all I can think of.

Nearly done! With the turn...

[MichaelG]

Cool, nothing I can comment on really!

Why are your pictures so dark, don't you have a flash? Or maybe you could turn on a light...

[Kevyn230]

^ Thanks.

It's dark because the lighting is bad and I don't have flash and my light is rubbish.

Any more comments?

[LaMbChOpZ]

Looks great IMO from what I can see.

I wish I had enough room (and a bit more parts) to build a decent woodie....
