Thought you guys might want a test video. Is it just me or does the train seem to lose speed easily? I cleaned the whole train out before the final video for The Jester so it isn't dirty or have anything in the axels. I haven't put any oil or spray on them yet though since building this coaster. It might just be me, but it seems it loses speed quickly and is already going slow. Let me know what you guys think.

Oh and ignore that wierd song in the background, it was from some commercial on tv my mom was watching.

The train loses speed on the second dip on the double dip. You should lower it. It shakes a little too, but I guess that doesn't matter when the whole coaster is done. Its looking great as usual!

The signature you have requested is not available at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.

You going for the Airtime Galore Contest? This coaster Seems to suit it.

Well I want the second hill to be taller than the first one. I might be able to get it to be a little taller after I finish the supports. It shakes because I haven't added the lateral supports yet. Hopefully I will be able to add those to the rest of the layout soon to keep everything stable and keep as much speed as possible

I wasn't really planning on it, but maybe.

If you look closely, you can see that the double dip sways a bit. Everything else looks absolutely beautiful. :)

I think it looks fine, once you add whatever is next im sure the swaying won't be a factor. Looking nice man.

I know it sways a bit, I haven't added the laterals yet. And thank you!!

Finished the turn. Haven't been able to work too much on the rest of the layout, I'm running out of space in the dining room and need to move it to the final location soon.

I'm not too sure about this, but that's just my opinion. Maybe, the supports would looks better if the laterals were less inclined and closer to the main structure. Those in the inside are awesome and very realistic!

The supports are so funky... I love it. Keep them, they make the ride unique. Can't wait to see what is next.

Those are some awesome supports, I mean I really like them. I think I might have to try something like that on my woodie. Both for stability and looks. Awesome Coaster!
