Not much happened from last update but I decided to add some pics:
Overview

Corks and new turnaround



Part after the corks-Note- this will change, I'm not entirely sure what to but this won't look like this later:


Station(without scenery) and turn:

Vid:


P.S. what do you think of the name?

Wow, superb for a new builder!!!!
If you really want more speed though, I would support it more, it seems to shake. You could eliminate the need for chains where the train ends up if you supported more.

Yea, I probably should, the shaking is solely from adding weights to the first 2 cars, which I did so it could make the second cork. Also i'm not really that new, just new to SSC

Awesome work man! I feel like you could have easily made another inversion in place of that turn around! Shape isn't perfect, but I'm really digging the style.

Thanks, I really wanted to put like a cobra roll there or something but at the time of building it I didn't have enough speed, that was without the two weighted cars in front.

It looks really good, especially for your first coaster on SSC. Like MCM said, you're developing a building style and that's really important. I'll give you a hint for future reference...coasters always look better if you color-coordinate your pieces

Thanks, I try to color coordinate them but I always have to use the other pieces.

^You could do the following: First try to build most of the coaster with all of your darker pieces, and then start using your lighter colored pieces, instead of going dark-light-dark-light. It would make your coaster look a lot cleaner!

Fantastic to see such a good coaster from a new member!
Some things could be improven, like the supporting at some points, but when you keep building, and enjoy it, you'll be fine.

Sorry guys, I'll have pics in the next update, which should be soon. But I thought of a redesign that's not changing the track much but it should help get the cars to the station. I'm planning to lower the Station, turn into the lift, and turn before the station by one small grey/white rod. This means that the lift turn will be on the ground and the station will be 1 gray/white off the ground, this should help me get the train to go farther.

that might work.

It did

hey a way you could make more speed is right after the loop i see a bump i don't know if it's a bunny hill or something if you smooth it out you'll get some more speed. Great coaster!

Yea, it's a bunny hill

I've finished and taken pics and video but I won't have them up for a while, I need to finish my next coaster in less than 4 days because I want to show it to some friends we have over for new years. I'll try to keep updates going on that but they will be quick.
