I would say another turn and than a hill that corsses over the part just before the turn, bit wakcy like GCI does occasionally. Would be a nice combination of out'n'back and a twisty ride. Great name btw!

Eggo, your coasters are more badass than ever. I really love the dynamics/overlapping, gives it a cool feel. As far as what to do next, I (for once) agree with Max!

Love you Max <3

The frozen lemonade stand is a nice touch. :) As for the layout, I would build one more element that it just barely clears, and the rest be low-to-the-ground, airtime-filled, twisty stuff.

I think it would be much better if you could extend the pull out just a little and then make the hill go over the lift hill. Adds more speed to the next element and provides more overlap.

I love the way it looks! This really motivates me to want to build a wooden coaster sometime soon like you've done here. As far as the layout, I would love to see a low to the ground, twisty, GCI layout or throw in a bit of Intamin with a El Toro sort of super-banked turns ending.

Okay, I still am confused about the layout... Could someone draw one out for me? I currently have about 3 granites of speed left, but I need to have the station off the ground, so I only really have one granite. This means I can fit in two elements.

Griffon- I had the hill over the lift originally, but it didn't come close to clearing it. I had to lower it to this height to get it to even fit there at all.

I would add a loop tilted 45* but bank it so the cars don't invert. So its basicly a helix with one side raised in the air.

Not sure what to tell you Eggo. I would think a curve to the right, a few bunny hops (one over the base of the lift), left turn and into the brakes and station. Or something of that variety.

Here's my suggestion. The numbers indicate the height in granites.

Thanks for the help, guys. I have built something similar to what PKI suggested, and I think I can finish this thing today. Pics around 3 probably

I'd do that thing PKI said, but that left helix around the base of the turnaround. That would look very cool!

I had a few problems with the automation, delaying me a day. I have finished this thing. I can finally work on Bizarro. Overall, I think this is my best coaster. It was fun to build such a small coaster, I really got to focus on small details.

Nice job on this, to bad you didn't have more speed for the ending. Look forward to seeing more out of you in the future.
