I lost interest in perfect storm (to be revived later) and started on Dragon Fire , a Arrow looper located at Canada's Wonderland. So far I have the lift, drop, and first loop. The lift looks just like it, using Arrow box supports, however, it ate up alot of yellow rods.
Firrst drop:
Lift:
Loop(ignore the lasr part) :

Lol, I can't wait for the comments saying that the first loop looks lopsided (believe me, they will come when your first loop is finished) ;D

I would personally try to make your first loop like your 2nd one. The 2nd one is taller, and is also more realistic.

I actually prefer the shaping of the 2nd one over the first. The connections you have at the top of your supports should be the same for both sides; if you don't, there's a chance the shaping will be off between the sides / other loops. It's also a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Also, the support tower for the first loop is leaning in the last picture.

Duplicating a loop to create a double-loop never works.
One way or another, you will always find out that the track-to-support connections have to be different to create a good shape.
I think it looks pretty good. I am not totally happy with that shaping, but I can imagine that it is extremely hard to shape a loop at that scale.

The only thing is that I have to finish this by the 15 of november to be able to use my parts for the science fair. so that gives me about a month... I would really hate to rush this but what can I do.
I know its a bit bumppy and I will go back and fix that later.
