HyperJump- Lift Hill Started
#1

Sorry there's no pictures, but there's too little for you guys to even critique (it's just a base and station structure and the start to the lift). So since this is again going to follow the same structure style as the original H-J I made, this will be a tube supported coaster. I just need some help or advice on the backbone for the lift.
The backbone was orignally going to be box supports, but that would ruin the look that I'm aiming for but I want to try tubes as a backbone, but IDK how it will work out. Anyone else have an idea or suggestion on how to make a good backbone that won't take up all my parts? (If you need pictures, let me know and I'll post them for you)
THANKS! (And yes, this will be the new HyperJump's construction thread)

Close up-ish of the station structure and start to lift (no prelift)

I really like you backbone, but now I have to build it and figure out to connect tubes to it but it shouldn't be too big of a problem because I see how right away, but I feel like being lazy and not explaining.
Expect picture updates in about 3 or 4 hours. I'm just starting to build now.

However, I have an idea, so let's hope it will work out...

So I finally figured out how to make a nice-ish backbone that works very well with tube supports. Just wanted to let all of you know, this went from a compact looper to now just a hyper/stand-up -ished styled coaster. The layout has been determined, but it keeps changing by only a little bit.
Since my spring break just started yesterday and goes for 9 days, that means that I could get this thing done by then! So the layout that I had planned, which you might be able to figure out by the base, is a banked turning drop ( Intamin / BM styled. Can't decide yet ), and from there an air hill or zero-g-roll, then banked rising turn around, and then some bunnie hills weaving left and right (you'll see what I mean later), then a turn around, then bunny hills, 90 turn, Brake block, then 90 turn into station.
Here's the pics: ENJOY!!
Overall.
Rest of the Lift hill; going to be working on it tonight/ tomorrow.
I know a few of you are probably wondering how I connect the tubes to the backbone, well this is how: (see picture). It's fairly easy, and keeps the backbone level and centerd all the time.
And since I had a lot of extra time while figuring out the backbone, I also made the station as you can see, and I really like how close and level it is with the station floor.
Comment about any problems that you see or anything and I'll see what I do, but try not to be too harsh, this is my first lift hill with tubes.

The layout is subject to change, so if I have to, I'll change it, but I rarely stick to my layout plans.
