I look at the non-inverting loop: Wow! That looks great!
I look at the drop: Hmm. That looks pretty good.
I look at the crest: OMG IT BURNS! Haha, just kidding, but it needs to be fixed. It should be round like you had it before, not flat.

look at these in comparrison to your ride. I think that the drop needs to be actually less steep, but that is my opinion. may you should skale it down a little more, like 8/1?

Hey guys! Thanks for all of the comments, I did my best at fix the areas in the coaster where you said they need it most. I widened the pullout fro the drop two granite rods and that helped a lot by the way. I also tried to redo the top of the non-inverted loop, but I just can't do it right and it just keeps looking the same every time. Finally, I built up to the first mid-course brake run. That's the highest that I could get the train up to by the way. Do you guys think I should widen the pullout for the exit of the non-inverted loop, because I think that it looks just to tight when the car goes through it. I could also get so more speed out of it to. Enjoy the pictures and test video I took!

Please comment!

Dang! Looking nice! Smooth shaping. The HRRR is kinof a confusing coaster to me. It's just strange. But I like it.

Wow, very impressive! The drop is still a bit off, bit everything else looks good. Are you sure you'll have enough speed for the next element?

Thanks! I know it can be kind of confusing, I was confused of how the buckle wen't around the non-inverted loop yesterday. That's what makes this coaster so unique. There's a totally new element after each mid course brake run!

Thanks! Do you think I should make the drop less steep? I think I'll have enough to finish the next element. The chains for the mid course brake runs should help me out a lot in this coaster too.

I'm going to Adventure Island, the water park right across the street from Busch Gardens Tampa tomorrow, so I'll probably won't build as much, maybe at night though.

Anymore comments guys?

Okay, here's another update! So far I've built the drop after the first MCBR and I think it's pretty good. But I don't like the entry into the treble clef element, I think it needs more banking and I don't know how to support it when it's getting higher. I need to save a lot of speed in this element and the next two in order to complete the ride. I moved the ride around, in order for it to fit in my building area properly, and I think it will nicely. On a side note I wen't to Busch Gardens today and there was no one there today! I got front row on Cheetah Hut, Montu, Scropian, and Sheikra( my little sister went on the front for the first time too). Finally on Gwazi I got to sit next to three hot girls about 14-15 in front of me and next to me in the back of the train too.

Your right it does need to be more banked, you will ger more speed out of it

Banking will be needed, but i think i see something that no one else sees. The drop from the exit of the MCBR is too straight. It needs to bank right slightly and drop at 120 or 130 degrees with the MCBR then it should enter the bowl element. With space constrictions you may need to move that bin sitting there but i think it should work :)

Looks Great,

Hey everyone, thanks for all of the comments too! Here's the update you guys have been waiting for! Sorry I haven't been updating sooner, I was at Universal Studios for the weekend and rode HRRR two times, with the blue man group drum-bone once, which I saw them with there new show later that night and for some reason without any music. It sounded very quiet with the music by the way. So I finished the treble clef element and banked the turn as you guys told me to do. I also built the catwalk for the first MCBR. I used my video camera to take the photos today, so they're kind of bright, my regular cameras cord is broken, so we're getting a new one soon! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures and video and have a great day!

Thanks, no one really talks about my building skills to much!

Thanks, I know I may not finish it but I'll try without a booster.

Okay so I was at Busch Gardens again and it was a great day, I rode every in the front row, without any wait!

Any more comments?
