I did not see that coming, but I really like what I am seeing now.

[WardCoastez]

nice that looks fun and smooth, drop after this?

[RNB]

Looks epic, great job on this! I like the creativity here

[DDRman732865]

Yeah, old school heartline. Haven't seen one of those in awhile. I like it.

[TheRandomGuy]

A coaster that goes over shelves and furniture. Me gusta!

I like the style of it. Reminds me of Discovery Kingdom's new coaster, Superman, but even awesomer.

[KCB Designs]

Terrain Coaster! Looking very nice chubs, maybe I should work on mine...

[maarten12]

I didn't see this one coming, I hope you got some more surprises for us ! Do I see a Flying Snake Dive coming after the heart line roll?

[ickus305]

This looks awesome and really creative.

[tornado96]

WOAH! Did not see that coming! That heartline roll reminds me of Hydra! Great start!

Thanks for all the comments guys!

The drop has been annoying me, mainly because I just can't get the pullout right. It's been awhile since I have built something this big so it just feels weird. But here are some pictures, hopefully you guys can help me out:







Comment and enjoy.

You start the pull-out too sharp. Try to make it a bit rounder.

[DDRman732865]

I think if you take the end of the pullout and make it the beginning, you have an almost perfect pullout. The problem is it gets sharper as it nears the bottom, it's almost perfectly backwards.

[maarten12]

^I saw that one too, I guess the G forces will increase rapidly during the pullout instead of keeping about the same which I though it should do normally . Good to see that you're working on it though!

[Jogumpie]

The problem is mainly that it is so big. And because of that, you should draw the pull-out on squared paper first.

[Chubs33]

Thanks for all the input guys. I tried etching it out on a graph and I think it helped a little bit, but I'm still not totally satisfied, it could be that support right at about the 45* mark that makes it looks weird... but I wanna hear all of your input.





Yeah there is definitely a lot still irking me about this. Input would be awesome.

Comment and enjoy.

[Helmut]

Try to draw a line on the picture how you want it to be. That might help you to see what needs to change.

[Chubs33]

Thanks Helmer.

It's getting there, I may even be pleased with this one... just a few crosstie adjustments and added support might be all this needs.





Comment and enjoy.

I would say: Smooth it out a little bit, and it would be very nice. Great job Chubs, you're really getting there!
