Shaping is very good, so just stabilize it in whatever ways possible to avoid any shaking if there even is any in that loop. I just don't want to see the thing shaking like crazy when it is a beautiful element.

^^^^ Blue rods are from the old Starburst Spinner (or something) set.
Nais shaping, it looks awesome so far. Reminded me of a 4D coaster somehow..

[Kevkillerke]

your next coaster could be with orange rods

^shhh don't give away my plans....

RNB: I used all my brown ladders for the ferris wheel, the oranges are just temps till I get more brown in.

Ok soo, got some work done. Fully supported (not much movement at all!!), and it just barely makes it thru, so by the time this gets some run time in on it, it'll make it beautifully. I took the pictures and noticed one or two spots to fix, but overall it is done!!

Any ideas on what to do next? I was thinking maybe an immelmann and then maybe a rising turn into an MCRB?









Also, I am going to be moving Night Fury out of the lobby for awhile, because the museum has two major conventions coming up shortly, so I will be unable to build for a little while. But do not worry, things will completed.

In the second to last picture the pull out has a big straight spot in it. Other than that I think it is great!



:EDIT: Also, halfway throught the main drop it seems to have a large straight spot as well.

[Kevkillerke]

please, don't add a MCBR, i don't really like it on coasters like this.
I don't now what you should take next, but make it twisty, and loopy!

[Jumpge]

Looking very good with supporting and shaping so far on this ride. The clean look of the color scheme and the sheer smoothness of the track impresses me, and the rest of the layout I hope will amaze me.

[timtimlaz]

That is the best tube supported coaster ever!!

[LaMbChOpZ]

^It's good, but I wouldn't say better (in order to keep GUMP happy )

I kinda say that an MCRB would be good to have going through what you have now, but I'd add another element or two before you consider getting it.

[Sniggeh]

Okay, Haven't been following this, but his is incredible. I'm impressed at the color scheme, as well as the shaping and supporting. I can't wait to see the rest of the layout. Please continue, nothing's wrong.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I don't think an immelmann should come next, since the previous 3 inversions are so similar. Maybe a twisting element, like a large corkscrew?

[HamenChiz]

Maybe go for the MCBR first then add a different inversion other than the ones you used.

Anyways the coaster is getting better and better, I love the color scheme.

I think a dive loop will fit very well with the flow.
Do one of those to the right, have it come down into a rising turn-around then MCBR then S dive down into interlocking corks. Simple layout, Will look amazing

[maarten12]

^looks good to me . There are a few sharp and straight spots in the pull out, this might be the cause of wrong layering of your grays, not sure though .

Alright, but make the MCBR parallel to the lift, and before the interlocking corks make a drop underneath the lift, and after them a turn to the 'current' side of the lift, into the brakes.

[ickus305]

Mikecoastermaniac: I like the dive loop idea, but how about wrapping around the first drop and doing the MCBR thru or around the lift supports. Then from there I would like to do a flat-spin, and maybe a helix or something and then a heart line, before a brake run, into the station

RNB & Kev: we'll see what happens, but I would like to use an MCBR, in hopes of maybe someday (who knows if ever) using a blocking system. this will be like BR and be up for a long period of time after it is finished.

timonator: I said it in the BR thread also. There are a lot of things I am learning while I am building, and a lot of other better coasters on this site. And w/o those before me, this would not be possibly. I do appreciate the enthusiasm, but I have a long way to go.

steel and ham:
I know the first drop and the drop out of the SSR roll look similar and I like the effect a lot, but yes I would like to use something that looks different now

maarten12: yes it does in a few spots, and I will re-layer the greys once I extend the track work, right now things aren't supported fully and they shifted some..opps

[jespercoasters]

Can you please make a test video?

[Britfag]

Whenever MCM appears from nowhere to advise.. follow it.

I think MCM's plan would look good, but it's your coaster, so do what you want

[fastman xc]

Okay, I know I'm appearing from nowhere and am not adding anything to the suggestions, but I must say that James, your coasters are the most aesthetically pleasing works I have seen, in terms of color coordination/theme and supporting. Excellent attention to detail, sir.

[lazor 22]

I agree very good color scheme.
