I'm not sure I add more banking because of Vekoma roller coasters do not have that much banking at the beginning of the drop.
You can see it here:
MP-Xpress (Movie Park Germany)

[WardCoastez]

you got a point. but you still have to try to make enough banking at the end.

[felesgustos]

I've added more banking and I think it looks better. I've also painted my cars and I think they become very nice. Meanwhile I have worked on the pull-out of the drop. He's just not fully supported.

Do you think the shaping is good?

[SuperTKDKid]

I think your shaping is pretty good. Nice supports on your drop! Oh, and nice golden train.

[WardCoastez]

perfect! .

I can spot a few bumps on the POV, you can fix them by making the drop drop more gradual, so you can't have a lot of bumps in it. Fix it and you're great!

O lala, that golden train is great!
Just do what TK said, then it's fine.
Good luck!

[felesgustos]

I can't see the bumps, can you mark them please.

After one week vacation, I continued to build on my coaster. I've made ​​the first part of a sea serpent roll and want to know if the shaping is good. If so, then I'll make the other half.

the shaping looks good. But because i am a vv builder why do you have the black clips on the crossties?

[ickus305]

The roll over is looking good so far. Check out Alpal's heartline roll tut, it is a great jig to make the heartline at the top of the roll over.

So far it looks good, though I would suggest using the black clips with a flexie in the middle also, as the black clips do not tend to hold onto flexies as will as the X tie does.

Everything is looking great keep it up.

The shaping of the sea serpent roll is pretty good, but I noticed a sharp spot near the bottom of the turning drop.

That looks great, It looks like you'll make it with plenty of speed to spare.

If I do not, then it becomes very bumpy.

Thanks for your comment. I don't think the heartline roll tut will work because it is an inverted coaster. I added black clips in the middle and it looks good. Don't you think?

I think I've fixed it, thanks for spotting it.

I thought so, but:


CLICK!









I think the train doesn't makes it, because the center of gravity is too far from the track. Do you think I can solve it by putting weight under the train?

[MrRemcoStyle]

i think better is bike oil buth you can take batteries for under the trains

[felesgustos]

It still doesn't make it through the sea serpent roll, but I've build a new element. I think it looks great. Do you know a way to get the train through the sea serpent roll?

[SuperTKDKid]

I'm thinking that the roll at the top of the sea serpent roll is a bit to tight, so the car cannot make it through because it is just getting stuck. Is that the case?

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

^Watch the video he posted in the previous update, and you'll see that it doesn't even reach the twist.

Definitely add weight under the cars. I recommend 20-25 pennies under each car. Then make sure that the drop and sea serpent don't shake. If they do, add more support. Good luck!

[felesgustos]

Thanks for your comments! I'll soon weight the trains, hopefully he will make it. I have constructed a helix for this update. After the helix is planned ​​a heart-line roll.









Please comment.

[SwimZONE]

That's a really nice helix you got there. Whats next?

[finrollercoaste09]

^He say that... heart-line roll.
