thank you for sharing this awesome coaster with is. this is awesome.

This is incredible! But are you sure that the high-speed turn won't kill too much speed? I'm not familiar with CD or the physics involved.
BTW, those are pretty good pictures for an iPhone!

More like 1:34 or higher.

Looks good! I really like the layout, and by far, this is the best inverted layout ever.

Thanks for everyone's comments!!! I think the scale is 1/48 of the cd scorpion.
The high speed corner does kill a bit of the speed which I knew it would but by keeping the track strong and securely supported minimises this,also keeping it smooth helps massively.I have quite a large layout planned and over the next couple of elements should let me know whenever this layout will work or have to be shortened.Up to know though the loop has passed the lowest height marker I gave by about a 3/4 of an inch so all is good up to now,thanks!!

thought id put this link to an onboard video of the coaster,its only the first drop and the camera is quite large(go pro hd)so i need to move a little earth from the bottom of the first drop to move onto the next section of track but you get the idea

I think it might be able to help you with your POV

[montu32]

Yeah thanks,Ive nearly bought one a while ago,in fact the later version of the keychain type,think it went upto 720p if I'm not mistaken.I think I might just buy one as the go pro is too heavy and clumsy for this.

This is by far the best coasterdynamix I have ever seen!

[montu32]

the loop taking shape

[CCreator12]

Looks pretty freakin amazing, there's a strait spot at the top of the loop though

[montu32]

Yeah,do you mean the section from the top of the loop to the next support( that little quarter section)?

That is most likely what he meant.

[montu32]

fixed a few loop footers down tonight,also worked a bit on the path.

[Jumpge]

Hmmm, really cool!
I am always wondering where this layout will go, so make us be in awe with whats next!

[montu32]

I have a full layout planned but will just have to see how much pace the train has behind it coming out of the loop.I do have a zero-g roll through the loop in mind

Sorry it's not an update it's just me telling montu that this is one of the sickest themed cd coasters I have ever seen. Great work montu, awesome theming on the station, lift, and walkway.
Also I love the palms.

I have a question. Are you simply sticking the ends of some of your supports into those blocks of foam board without using a grey scorpion base piece? If so, that is a great solution to not having enough bases, which I never seemed to have enough of. Keep it up!

[montu32]

Thanks very much chaindogg,yeah it's quite time consuming but worth it I think and more so with comments like that.
As with the supports this is exactly what I am doing.The foam is very dense and therefore quite solid so does not bend or twist with support pressure once the base is glued to the board(builders caulk or no more nails works great)

Tmrw I should have another update for you's,thanks!!!
