I decided to built top thrill dragster because Alpal already had a launch made and I wanted to make something tall. I plan on making it as perfect as possible so I want harsh feedback to improve everything to my full ability.

[Josh Monster]

I started with the towers because Alpal is still using the launch and I wanted to figure out the right height.

I think the back support pole may need to be a bit further back, can we have a side view?

Same with Old_Hag. We Need A Side View.

Hey josh, I would layer the grey rod giant tube for extra strength. by the way, are you going to make lights on the tower?

I will layer the tube, If I can I will place the lights on the coaster.

I will get a side view, I do think the back tower needs to be moved back which means the two front towers need to be moved further apart to allow a 45 rod to connect the front and back. Thank you for your input.

For sure layer them tubes! Personaly i find top thril/kinda da remakes very boring now because everyone has made one, So i might now follow this much.

[alpal]

^They are fun to make, and if you try to make them realistic, they can be difficult.

im working on my top thrill dragster now too coincidentally. hey, we can work together!

[timtimlaz]

yay ttd is going to be re-made!!!

[Josh Monster]

Update. I got a side view this time. I moved all of the towers further apart from each other and added cross beams to support it, I also layered the back tower. I do not plan on layering the two front towers. I'm almost out of yellow rods so it will not be as color coded the rest of the way.

[alpal]

That looks sweet!

[Old_Hag]

Yeah, thats perfect.

[Josh Monster]

Update! I have almost finished the support structure for the first half of the towers, all I need is the elevator thing in the middle and to decide weather to use orange or grey rods. I will be in Colorado for a week so I will not have an update for a while. Enjoy and comment.

2 things.

1. Can you please get a photobucket? It is really annoying having to look at the attachments.

2. Go custom. TTD/KK are awesome and all but they have been done so many times. Remember Fraggie's Launcher?? It was an almost completed custom strata.

1. I do have a photobucket account, I do not know why it does that.

2. I will consider making a custom but I don't really want to.

hey josh, does your coaster shake at all if something bumps into it? mine does.

[Josh Monster]

It shakes a little bit, I might be able to solve it once the structure is complete though.

[Josh Monster]

The structure is almost complete, it still needs work and I don't know if it looks right, I don't think the tubes on the top triangle fit onto the towers correctly and the back tube might not have enough angle. Please tell me what you think needs to be done so I can fix it. Thank you.

Edit: Should the orangish connectors on the walks be changed to grey ones?
