I have started construction of a new coaster. I wont be able to start alot of trackwork until march, because I am using the track and trains on the science fair coaster.I have part of the lift now, it is not much however. I wanted your guys' imput of the spine.


Here are some stats:

-Type: B&M Floorless
-Tube Supporte: Yes
-Theaming: TBA
-Automation: TBA





ENJOY

Nice start of the lift. The trackbone looks clean.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

^Thanks

OK, here is most of the lift. I, for one, am impressed with my work. This is as high as it is going, besides the crest. It will start cresting right after that last support.

The base, for the supports will be built on, and connected, later.





Enjoy

Wow, it looks really clean and well supported.

[ickus305]

It looks like a terrific start.

The backbone looks excellent. I would like to see your tubes beefed up a bit to match the sturdy backbone. Also, make sure to have more then just two of the same direction connections from the tube to the base.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

^^, ^, Thanks,

Update, I have the crest, predrop, and a bit of the drop done. Tell me what you guys think. The drop will be worked on a bit more, and the predrop does have some banking.

Awesome! It's good to see that you're using more cross ties than you usually did. The base is strong and you're tubes look perfect too, keep it up !

That looks excellent so far, i really like it. Did you bought some extra pieces since you're using more pieces now??

-=Tk=-

[Kool Coaster Kid]

^ No

Update!!

I have the completed drop.

Im thinking of doing a 180 turning drop to save space, what are your thoughts?

Looks funky, I like it, but changing it really depends on the layout you want. I would say 180* if it was my coaster.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

Ok, I have a layout. A 180* drop, a vertical loop, diveloop, 0-g-roll in the supports of the lift, a turn and somthing after that.

Tell me what you guys think of it.

[timtimlaz]

Hey I made a layout just like that in No Limits too. After the turn I did a high speed turn and some hills. BTW I really like you Coaster

[Kool Coaster Kid]

Ok, this coaster is no longer a looper. I decided that because this was my first tube supported, I should do a hyper to learn proper techniques, as shaping inversions with tubes would be hard and creat alot of speed loss with out proper techniques.

All I have is the drop, I am unshure to do a Goliath sfog turnaround/helix or a hammerhead.



COMMENT

[alpal]

I say, go custom with the turnaround. Make it funky!

[Maverix]

Well you should finish the drop first

I'd go with a hammerhead if anything. Helices are hard to do with boxes let alone tubes.

[Fraggie]

I'd say decide once you get to that point. Finish the drop first, the crest maybe looks a tad big? Maybe that's just me tho. Looking good otherwise

[sathothy]

That looks nice. I don't care about the change, hyper's are cool to.

[TheRandomGuy]

The turnaround would be awesome!

[Jumpge]

^^I'd have do disagree with that one actually, I really like how the crest looks with it's large size rather than a smaller one, so I would keep it. Yeah, either or would look awesome on this coaster, so decide when your finished the drop like Fraggie said.

[Dabubs]

That looks amazing! Nice work.
