Supports to me look nice and strong. Couple of straighter spots particularly towards the bottom of the drop but since you're doing the basic shaping now I'm sure you know how to fix them. The crest looks nice and smooth though so overall a fine start I think. Sad to see Tornado in the background being taken apart though. Had to happen sometime. Just decided to comment on everything by the way.

I love it! Actually, the pullout is a little large. But I still like it.

My only comment is that you should change the supports 11 yellow rods up. They block the view on the track, causing it to look like a bump, while it probably isn't. :)

The name is funny! Steel Force, Fraggie Force. Not sure you chose the name for that reason, but I still like the coaster. I agree with Steel and Gump. But I have 1 question. Where are you going to put the gear at the top of the lift hill?

The second half of the crest could be a bit rounder, but the rest looks really good! ;)

Well since I did have the basic shape correct, now its time to get a little more permanent. I changed the flexis to greys and added a little 'twist.'

^ Haha, good one!

So far, my only complaint is that the drop needs to be a bit steeper. Out of curiosity, what company are you aiming for?

Thank you! Hopefully I can take down more of Tornado and move this so I can build on it.

Fraggie Force, Frags305, or Fragiathan?

Haha all great ideas. I'll let you guys pick the name once you actually see where I'm going with this.

^ Haha, good one!

So far, my only complaint is that the drop needs to be a bit steeper. Out of curiosity, what company are you aiming for?

I think the angle is okay. I'm not going for one of the coasters with an 80* or more drop. And the company I am aiming for is, well, my own. I don't like trying to copy real companies and just go with my own style.

I like it a lot :). So I assume this is going to be a hyper?

Thank you! And you shall see Maarten.

Don't forget Steel Fragon 2000!

Looks great Fraggie, I love the heartlining.

Ha I like that one! Thanks man!

This looks great. I know I am excited to see where this goes!

Thank you!!


Look for an update hopefully tonight or tomorrow night. Any other comments?

The trackwork looks so smooth now and it's good to hear that you're going for your own style. Makes the final outcome a lot less predictable and a lot more interesting. Keep up the good work. I'm going to take a guess and say you're building a hyper looper, even though I'm probably wrong judging by the names, but any way you go I'm interested.

Thanks. That's one reason why I never liked copying a company. With my own style, nobody knows what to expect. And the name is just a play on words, probably not the final name.

Haha, Fraggie Force, that's a fantastic name.

Haha thanks, maybe not the final name, but its an option.

Glad you're building a bit bigger now. :) Looks great so far.

Yea I know its about time right? Thanks.


Got a little farther, what do you guys think?
