I'd put middle tubing on the turn but other than that it looks great so far. Is it going to be a looper?

Looks good so far, can't wait to find out what all the red gears are for.

Automation is my specialty
 

If only I had more space/pieces/time.

This looks good! All you need to do is make the pre-drop be straight faster, or make it sharper.

This coaster should have a curve but not much, unless it is a GCI woodie, then its a different case.


^^ It's a woodie. It's strong no matter what.

^well unless he has very few or weak connections which is not the case.

Looks good so far, however I would prefer if the lift were less steep but it's your call if you change it or not.

It would look better in my opinion (Especially with the abnormally steep woodie lift) if the pull out started sooner. It looks too similar to the lift itself right now. But aside from that, cool tire drive system and theming you have!

becase i don´t have a fast motor and i gear it dow to have more force.

Looks very good! I like the way you build your supports. I would suggest you to get rid of that weird support-beam though.

This woodie looks really good! I really like the turn with the drop in it. I have to agree with Bart about the support beam, it should be removed. I'm curious to see more! :)
