^^That's what I was talking about.

The connector is pushing it out so much that it causes a sharp outward hump. Also, the top connector is bending to try to prevent the over-length, but by doing so, it goes down too much and banks it too quickly. It screws the shaping and heartlining up.

^ Pul that suport backwards and put the middle support a little bit more up that it would look better.

Wow, this ride is looking super nice, but I would like to see the banked turns raised a bit, but besides that this rocks!

Ha. I knew you would say something.

I was going for a high speed element, so I am keeping it lowered, but thanks!

Already done Thanks to Josh

Thanks!

Looks good! I would just move the top of the first stengel to the right a bit in the last picture, as RollerKid said. I also agree with what Knexrule said, the dip should be moved up a bit. Also, it's spelled "Millennium," not "Millenium," so you might want to change that. ;)

Done.

The forth picture down and the last picture show a sharp spot in banking/heartlining and a sraight spot. It's caused by the connector's length; it is too long.

Done.

It's kinda like 2 stengel dives.

Ok, that's not funny. Anways, I like this!

That was the look I was going for, but they aren't stengel dives ;)

That looks SICK! The only request I have is that you raise the middle of that heartline thing. Right now it dips down too much.

Will do.

Verbal Update: I am almost out of granite rods, so I was thinking I should make the base height (except for the launch) blue rods. What do you think? is it worth the effort?

Automation is my specialty
 

If only I had more space/pieces/time.

Take out all the granite rods and give them to me. ;)

As long as doing what you said doesn't destroy the speed (which I don't think will be a problem), there isn't a reason you shouldn't do it.

Bump!!!
Yes, this is still alive.
Well, I started on theming and finished two more elements. I know they aren't perfect, so give me your feed back. Oh, I also supplied a push test video (I was too lazy to attach the drill. Sorry about the low quality, my camera can switch between standard and compact quite easily.

your 0G roll looks weird XS
I think it has to be wider..
anyway "GG" on the automation and the shaping

I can see that the zero-g roll is looking a little funky because there is almost no heart-lining, so go for an effect more like Hydra's zero-g roll. Besides that, I think that the flow of everything is super nice as well as it's speed. I hope that launch will be automated and running by the end of this!

I think the whole coaster has some nice elements in it. But i saw a few bumps on the sideview of the Hammerhead, you can fix them easily by making the hammerhead in a straight line (when you look at it from the side it should look like this: \ But then less steep). And your zero-g roll needs more heartlining, and then it should look great!

I work with alpal and have done most of the theming for the ride. If you want another theme piece I should be able to build it.(Please do not ask me to make the death star or anything very large)

I thought Millennium Falcon was just a knock off of Mille Force's name....why would a ship in SW be named MF?
