Hello guys.

I've got more k'nex, so i decide to broke jabberfish down and starting a fresh new higher project I've learned a lot of making jabberfish, so i think i'm ready to take a next step to make higher coaster.





















I don't have alot experience with banking, so don't be to harsh with commenting on that, but feel free to say how i make it better.

Comment!

Try to make the pullout of the first drop a bit bigger, so you don't lose a lot of speed because of that. You could also try to make a hill after the overbanked turn, and then some high speed turns for practising with banking.

It looks very good so far, great job!

That overbank is awesome and it's have great shaping. Just fix the pull-in what TK say.

Update!

I work so hard on this in the weekend, i almost finished it! I only have to make the lift hill cable and smooth some things out. Also i have to finish the station en make the track stronger. Personal i think its a nice coaster with a compact layout and i'm pretty proud of that! Please point me of wrong shaping things, i dont want to end this one which look unrealistic.

SO enough talking, here are the pictures and a test video!

btw, i dont fixed the pullout. Maybe il do that later, but i'm sure it not loses speed at all








































Comment please! What do you think?

Oh yeah, here is the video!

Did you oiled your cars???? Still great coaster, nice and smooth!

[RollerManiac]

Not bad. The shaping is fine, but the suppots in some spot are weak.

It's great! just a couple of things though: I would lube your cars with silicone spray, they looked pretty slow, the first valley is a bit sharp, and the ending is a bit rough and undefined. It would be more defined if you had a bit more speed from lubing your cars.

[matthijskm]

Thanks, i didn't use lube or oil yet. Maybe il do that in the future but this coaster works for me without lube

[matthijskm]

I finish Driver, without any lube or weight. Thank you ssc for helping me! I love building, so i want to start my next project next weekend. Anyone suggest wich kind of coaster? I was thinking about a junior inverted coaster or a small looper. wich should i choose? Leave a final comment to help me with this choice!

Here's a final pic and the final video from Driver!



And the video on youtube:




So... Leave a final comment!! :)

Good job, i suggest you an inverted.

[maarten12]

I really enjoy to see that you're improving so fast, I cannot wait to see your next coaster. You should take the letters and numbers behind the = of the youtube link to get your video shown on here.

[matthijskm]

Wow thank you, now i first want to try al sort of coaster once (looper, launch, inverted, hyper...) before i choose my style to go further with, so i think my next will be a invert.
^Ok it works now, thanks!
