I honestly wasn't happy with the way my other coaster was turning out, so I decided to do a cable launched coaster that will include all of my favorite elements (explaining the launch) so that I won't get bored with the layout.

The layout and launch look good. Move on to the figure-eight element.

Dear god, that's a massive layout! The launch looks great so far!

Someone's first element is inspired by Cheetah Hunt...

ewwwww.

Your other coaster was turning out sooo good!
Now this just seems like too much of a copy of steel.

Edit:
Jumpge was building quite the unique coaster and now its gone. Raised launch, laying out layout with flexies, just seems too much of a copy IMO.

^No, steel's is more of a Ring racer/Senza Fiato. This looks like a Multi launch coaster.

It looks sick Jumpge!

I did not try to copy steel that much, I just tried laying down flexi rods to not copy steel, but show my layout where the track will be using flexi rods and gray rods for strength in track that includes a variety of element that aren't like steels.

I can't agree more with the others! Although it's said to see the other one gone, this one looks promising!

Looks like the first element is a inclined dive loop... just like the other one... ;)

I still think you should use my idea for the first element :) Looks great, buddy.

Man of launches! It still hurts you cancelled your previous coaster, it turned out so nice.
Indeed, it looks a lot like Steel. ;)

Great layout, inspirated by Cheetah Hunt and I305? It's TWISTY! Can't wait for the outcome!

Dude, you work almost the same way as steel does, very funny to see :). Looks like your first element is going to be sort of cheetah hunt top hat?

When I saw the sharp turns after the launch I immediately thought CHEETAH HUNT!
Looks like a fun layout!

I agree with you Jumpge, I personally didn't like your other coaster too much. This looks sweet though!

If only I had more space/pieces/time.

I think I spy with my little eye a mini cheetah hunt.

Biggest improvement up to now is that you stopped with those silly storyboards...
This launch looks good! Hmm, did Steel by accident also start a launched? :P

Now that is looking like a cool layout!

Can we get some close up of the launch in the next update?

I couldn't find enough room to fit it, but I just might have to revisit that thought later if I'm feeling up for it.

Well, I am indeed a man of launches because I love making them so much, but I think now that you see this element it won't look too much like steel's construction.

Great layout, inspirated by Cheetah Hunt and I305? It's TWISTY! Can't wait for the outcome!

Exactly what I was going for, so expect a lot of twistyness in the layout!

Pretty much the general idea, but I tried to make it have a better flow in shaping than the actual one.


So, here is what you've all been waiting for, the Cheetah Tower. I made it mirrored to the actual one so it fits my layout better, and I also tried to go for a smoother flow in transitions and shaping than the actual thing because there are straight spots and abrupt spots.

Awesome! :) It looks very nice and smooth and I hope it does not shake too much. Can we get a picture of the transition between the 2 turns?
