This will be my next coaster for the Winter contest! It will be a euro fighter, and is 4 1/2 grays tall. I am Planing on it being tube supported. I finally figured out how to Put the Motor into the small space under the Lift.

Here are some Pics of the lift and the drop:

this looks great kodi! also i love the name. and do you´ll use a chain guide?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

That looks familiar... Anyway, nice lift hill! I hope the drop doesn't shake too much.

I will not need a chain guide because the small tires keep it guided.

Yea I saw one of your coasters that was lifted 1 gray off the ground and it reminded me of my first coaster... My first coaster from 2009 - SSCoasters Rides Database It also allows their to be a little extra speed left at the end for my layout. Thanks for the inspiration!

The Drop as it is now does not shake that much but i will be adding track reinforcements to the whole ride one i finish shaping.

No Updates until Thursday, because I have the PSAT! :eek:

The drop looks really nice so far. I hope you are going to add the traditional eurofighter loop in it

UPDATE

I made a loop after the drop. Right now I will be adding diagonal supports to the base.

[RNB]

That's too small. Try to double the height of the loop.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

You need to make the loop much larger--about 3/4 as tall as the drop. It looks like the train wouldn't even fit through a loop that small :eek

[Dabubs]

I don't know if it's the angle, but the loop looks like it's leaning to the right, but that could be what you were going for.

Just as the rest said: make the loop a lot bigger, try to test with your cars how high the loop can be. Make it to the maximum height!

[kodi43]

Just a quick UPDATE
Edit: I dont think my cars would even make this one...
I tried to make the loop bigger. Here are some Pictures. I will finish shaping after school.

Do You think that the loop is a good height now?

[Jogumpie]

I can hardly see any difference. You will want it a lot bigger.

[Aaron]

I think you you need to make it about as high and the first ladder connector after the red gear on the drop, a good 4 or 5 inches taller. It's still much too small.

[kodi43]

^Okay I made the loop at the first ladder connector.
It is also around 3/4 the height of the drop. Does the height look okay?

I also do not think that it will make it, but I will be testing it to make sure.

Edit: I smoothed the loop out and added a second tall tube to connect to the top of the loop.

[RNB]

I can't tell from this angle, could you give us some other angles?

[kodi43]

Yea okay, I also added a structure underneath to better support the coaster.

[-=TK=-]

That is looking a lot better than before! Does the train make it all the way through the loop?

Not to be a jerk but i think that turn after the first drop could use a lot more banking
