I think there's just a little too much banking, and it turns a little too much. You also might want to lower it a bit because it doesn't look like you have a lot of room for the final headchopper section. I'm being a bit picky, but these should be very easy fixes for you. Everything else is really good, keep going!

Well this thing was just annoying. This is the best version I got after at least 5 time of redoing it. I hope I got it right.

Looks good, but strange. I can see why you had do redo this several times. I think it's just a strange element. Do you have enough speed for the brake run?

I'd guess if he gets it over the 4th hill, he'll have speed for a break run.

It looks perfect hag. For those of you wanting a pic of the real thing:

I really hope you find that speed!

This recre has me pumped to ride the real one again this week. Great job dude.

[ickus305]

Very Well done. Things are looking great!!

[Old_Hag]

!!!!!!!!!!





Test (COMPLETELY UNWEIGHTED, with the speed from the booster plus weight it will easily make it through the brake run)

[RNB]

I think that when you got the right weight and you've lubed the cars that it'll make it even without booster! Awesome job on speed here! It looks really good, good luck on finishing!

[maarten12]

^he probably lubed the wheels already. I hope... I think you did a very good job so far, finishing I305 without a booster is almost impossible.

[Old_Hag]

I'm so glad I'm done with trackwork. Throughout the whole ride, it was a complete pain in the ass.


I dunno if I'll have problems with the train making the brake run, it all depends on how fast the booster pushes it over the 2nd hill. The tests I did were slightly worrying, but the weights, like I said before, consistently came loose and therefore I don't know if they were rubbing against the rails.

[RNB]

Epic trackwork! Great job on this coaster!

Can we see where the booster? im a very glad to see that you have finished this!

[Old_Hag]

Can somebody link or show me how to properly modify and place the booster? I tried by myself and the car still hits the booster.

[Jumpge]

Fool around with the placing of the booster before the hill because different places might get more speed.

[Old_Hag]

I did that, the car fits in, but now I'm having trouble aligning it with the track at a slope. The way I had it, the booster didn't grip the side of the car, and I don't know how to support it.
This is where I want to put it:

You have special holes in the booster for the track, to fit it in. Please use those and you'll be fine if you support it.

[Sniggeh]

Also, you may need to glue a small piece of cardboard on either side of the trains to help get the booster to grip the cars.

[coastercrazy10]

You can also thread yellow/granite rods through the holes in the booster a yellow/granite rod apart, put hinges on all four ends of those two rods, and attach rods/rod combinations to them to clip onto the yellow rods it's sitting above. then obviously support as necessary to keep it from slipping. I wouldn't recommend gluing anything onto your cars - mine have always boosted plenty fast enough as long as they're properly elevated into the booster. Normally I mount them horizontal though...

Well I just found out that my dad has another drill, so I won't be using an obnoxiously loud, overly modified piece of orange crap.

Yay, the ride will now look alot 'Cleaner' without the booster. The ride is amazing, well done. This was a very hard recreation but you managed to pull it of, It's truly amazing. Well done.
