Hello all!

So now that Helmut is staying at Jumpge's place, we have been building a roller coaster. Jumpge already started with building before Helmut arrived and a lot of progress has already been made.

Jumpge- The trees are green.

Helmut- So I built the drop, turn, stengel-dive-thingy and the heartline roll on this coaster since I came here. Water is blue.

EPIC! Is Helmut really at Jumpge's house? It's like 6 hours of plane ride, it's hard to believe he's there for real :P

The coaster is looking great so far! You guys should take a pic together building it! Also you should support that one inversion a bit more on the top and some of the shaping needs a bit of touching up but other than that it is looking fine.

Haha, I tink so too, it's really hard to believe that he is actually there :). Guys, this is looking great, I'm going to have a hard job figuring out who has built what ;)!

Jumpge & Helmer working together. This coaster is already looking awesome. I like that I had to look at three different pictures to figure out the layout so far. It reminds me a lot of Maverick with the lift and launch there.

I like the 7th picture, the stengel thingy into the jr snake dive thingy. *points* That's cool.

This is going to be a sweet ride.

That's awesome! I love that element after the drop, how it's like a stengel, but then a roll. You guys build way to fast BTW:/ Also, what are those weird sentences for?

It's of a similar style to maverick but most importantly, it's not maverick. It's better. Everything looks great and when it's tidied up and completed, it'll be epic.

Looks very nice! Both coasters are perfectly shaped, I love it!

I do not like the roll after the stengel. Since the track turns twice in the opposite direction, it ruins the flow of the coaster.

The S&S launcher (what I assume) looks really good too! Only the pull-out of the hill underneath the tophat has a few sharp and straight spots, fix them please :)

Very nice coasters so far! :)

EDIT: Just realized that it is one coaster (eek) Now it's even more awesome! I also like how the launch is in opposite direction of the lift, instead of going with the lift's direction!

So you are telling me that a Dutchie is spending some time at an American's home to build a coaster? Crazy awesome. Helmut, is there anything else that brings you to the states, or are you just crazy? :)

Automation is my specialty
 

If only I had more space/pieces/time.

Hey thanks!

It's very tough to comprehend that he was here, but one heck of a trip it was! It was super cool to build and ride coasters. :D

It's still tough to look through the mess of track and figure out the layout. Thanks!

It was tough to figure out a layout for the compact space, but Helmer did a fantastic job at that. We did adjust it a lot from the original plan to fit the space I have, but I think we did a good job at it.
Thanks!

Thanks! And those words were for an extra little flavor with the update, and also because we were both laughing and saying random stuff that night. :P

It was pretty crazy for him to get over here, but it was worth all the effort as you can see!


Long time no see (or at least to me it seems it)! I think this is the longest I've gone without updating in a long time!

With all that time in between the update both of us built a lot (Helmer actually built more than I did!), then after Helmer left the US, I got working right away and made quite a lot of progress over the past week. Now, to share it with all of you guys!

First, an overview so you guys can figure out where the track goes

Helmer built this part after the last update

Posted Image

Then I continued on to connect the track to the launch
Posted Image
Posted Image

And yesterday I completed the launch
Posted ImagePosted Imagewh

Here is comes out into a turn
Posted Image

Then goes over the top hat into a turn then the buckle
Posted Image

And as you can see, I also worked on the station
Posted Image

The mess of track around that area which has eliminate due opening my closet
Posted Image

Station fly through? FIXED- Underground station fly through :D
Posted Image


This is the part where I am supposed to say something cool about looking forwards to the next update which will come soon or stuff going on with the coaster. So... I got the launch working and need to put chain on the lift and station area(s), so after that then the coaster is actually done. I'll update next whenever I feel it is necessary to show you guys some cool progress made, so hopefully that will be soon.

Peace off, BOOP!

Wow, I'm nearly speechless. This coaster is amazing in every aspect of it, I mean, I just cannot describe how I feel for this thing. Everything was just so spot on; the automation looks promising, the supports look nice, and the shaping looks smoother than any other blitz coaster I've seem up to date.

But there is one thing that I do not like; I do like the straight hill over the first drop, I think that it would look better if it was an airhill. You probably have it this way for a reason, but either way, it's just a little misplaced. Also, can we have a test video (and not a fake on like what you gave me on AIM)?

LOL, my mom complains about how Stunt Flight block the door to the attic. That isn't anything compared to how this one blocks the room! XD

^It's a brake-run. Jumpge, can you add some catwalks next to the brake-run?

A miracle how everything fitted in so well! I really like the result. ;)

Dude, that is truly incredibly and even harder to believe that Helmut has worked on this one too :)! I noticed you got a station fly under xD.
