Hello, this is my newest coaster, an arrow looper.
So far I built a preturn, drop, and 2 loops.
The loops are similar to the ones on python: 2 loops with the exact same size, but the second one a little lower.

About the speed:
It is freakin' great so far.
The loops might not be very tall, but the train actually flies through them with high speed.

I would suggest going with a 27 degree lift, it would definitely be more Arrow-esque.

[Sniggeh]

Looks very good! Lessen the lift angle if you want it to be more realistic, but please continue!

The only thing I dislike is how the first look looks to be slanted left a lot.

The only thing I dislike is how the first look looks to be slanted left a lot.

I think that's because the exit of the loop is lower than the entrance.

I pretty much agree with what everyone else said, the double loops look very nice. Good luck!

It is supposed to be like that.

I'll suggest you to, indeed, make it a 27 degree lift. Any other small adjustments, like smoothing, is up to you.

Now you mention it, I think that is a really good idea. I'll deffinatly do so.

There's your answer Will.


Thanks for all the comments!
Next up: New lift.
After that: ???

Any suggestions for what to build next?
Oh, and any more comments about the loops? Say it now you still can, because tomorrow there is probably a next element build, so then I can't edit it anymore.

Second loop looks too small. For shaping further it's really good!

What makes it too small in your opinion?

[RNB]

What makes it too small in your opinion?

It looks too low in my opinion

[TheSUCKCrew]

Probably because the pullin starts a granite lower...


So, does the first loop look leaning to the right?
Does the second loop look smaller?
Then I guess I'm spot-on!



And now stop acting like I don't know how a looping looks.

I love this, Bart! Maybe something like Loch Ness Monster (Busch Gardens Williamsburg), but then try to make the top of both sides equal

Lovely coaster so far, I suggest another looping. No joke, I think a turn is needed, can be in the form of cobra roll, immellman, just a basic turn, but that it won't be much longer but some wider.

I think a pull into a mcbr then a drop to a batwing would fir perfectly with this coaster. Not to mention it would also be unique to knex coasters....

The turn I made is kinda inspired by this:)
Thanks for the idea.

So here is a not so big update:
...or is it?...

















Oh, and it doesn't make the last corkscrew

Leave a message after the beep.
BEEP

[Kevkillerke]

Very nice lay-out you've got there!
It's sad about the corckscrew. Is it close?

[maarten12]

Oh I love it, I may like the turns even better than the corks . You might want to remove all the batteries on top of the car and only use batteries on the bottom. This makes the train stay stable on the track and when putting batteries on top of it it does the opposite effect. I noticed this a few weeks ago !

^Lol, i discovered the same thing when i was experimenting with weight on my small hyper coaster

The coaster has a nice layout Suck, i hope you can fix the My-car-doesn't-want-to-go-through-the-2nd-corkscrew problem

[RNB]

Looks good, I love the layout! Hope you can fix the problem!
