Ah thank you!

Wow that's a lot simpler than I expected... good luck with the first drop!

Thanks! (although it is not the 'first' drop )

Looks very nice, hope you can finish this!

I hope too, I start running out of orange rods...

Update!
I finished the lifthill, chain, pre-drop and the first part of the actual drop. I start running out of orange rods, so I am searching for solutions now.

The pre-drop is intended very steep. It is made like a 'surprise' element, which provides already airtime. After that, the real drop follows.

This looks amazing, Ruben! Only criticism I have is that the drop seems to be getting too steep too fast, other than that, AMAZING work!

[Maxwell58]

The middle of the lift is sagging. Other than that, it's great. I can't wait to see the outcome of this coaster.

[Sorunome]

That is looking cool!

love the pre-drop and turn around. Also, amazing job on the tubes for this structure.

Keep up the terrific work.

That looks awesome! Maybe you can make the whit bleu rods and make more tubes whit bleu supports. Also why did you replaced the elastics?

[TheRandomGuy]

Dude, that looks crazy! But awesome! The supports for the turn look very sturdy to me.

Could you make a draw-over? I don't know what you mean.

Thanks! I will do something about the sagging!

I replaced the elastics because I thought they were ugly. Thanks!

I think this looks awesome so far Ruben! Great job on this so far!

I love everything about this bro! It looks super sick to be honest and I love the whole pre-drop and airtime effect! The drop will look super smooth, and whatever that first element is going to be (personally, my money is on a Stengel Dive or a banked air-hill) will look super awesome.

I like the structure on the pre-drop, it's very stylish. In fact, I like the whole pre-drop. And nice job on the chain through the support.

[tornado96]

Absolutely love the lift! The chain return is brilliant! I'll be sure to use it! The supports for the pre-drop are fantastic however the track looks a little weak. Can you add to the spine? I agree that you should use blue rods for supports. saves a lot of oranges for spine

I can't stop looking at those supports... they look phenomenal!

This look really good i like the motors and the panel is cool to
The best!

Thanks about the supports! For the blue/orange supports, I'll look at it. I actually don't want to replace every support again But, if it's needed, I'll do that.

FINALLY! An update!

So, today I finally had time to build again! I builded a drop, and a small themed tunnel. The drop is rather steep for a B&M, but I like it. The tunnel is made from a K'nex Alive! firebird.

i liked it but, the only thing i think you pre-drop curve is too low you should make it higher

[Sorunome]

Caution everyone: Cool coaster coming!

[SwimZONE]

Really cool! Nice predrop and drop, everything looks amazing!

Doesn't look much like a B&M Hyper, more like a B&M on steroids
