I must say that it looks incredible so far! Great work on it so far

Is it possible I could get a side view of the pullout of Lightning's pullout? I'm sure it's fine, but in the angles you provided it looks kinda sharp IMO. They both look great so far, I hope you can finish these amazing coasters!

It looks absolutely awesome! I can't wait to see the wooden buckles and what kind of height you get for the first element.

On another note, is that snow outside?! We barely have any snow over here and we're pretty high above sea level! But wait, does that mean that when I come over there I have to bike to school in the snow... oh man...

Your moving to the Netherlands! BTW Helmer, this just looks amazing, I cant wait for more.

Looks great so far keep it up and please finish it too by trying your hardest too one train on each side I think too, right?

Compared to the real thing, that looks perfectly well!

EDIT: I just realized it might be a good idea to 'draw' the layout on the floor. Just take a look at google maps for a top view. If you draw it on the floor, it will give you a very good idea where which piece of track has to go to !

Thank you!

I printed a Google Maps overview of Lightning Racer, so don't worry about that.

Thanks! I don't think it's sharp, but good to hear some advice so I can have another look at it.

Ghehe, we will see if there is some snow by then!

There is more in this update! Thank you!

Thanks! Yes, it is one train for each side.

I finished the buckel for Lightning.







The lifthill is 10 granites tall, the buckle 7 granites tall. The barely weighted and just lubed train flies over it!


:D:D

Lookin good! At first I though that was a chunk of meat hehe. The track looks very smooth. I have nothing to complain about!

[Rollerfreak987]

I don't think it's sharp now either, looking at the second to last picture. And by the text under the last pic, does that mean you're going to lube your trains and make the buckle taller than it is? I hope so... Oh, and the coaster looks very awesome so far

[CW5X]

Looking really good. And demolishing the cushion at the end for good measure. Really smooth trackwork although I'm just wondering if the buckel finishes too low compared to the first drop. I know you've accounted for a little bit of the height difference but in this:
Google Image Result for http://www.ridezone.com/rides/coasters/lightningracer/lr502.jpg it just looks like to me there's a bit more of a difference. That's my view anyway. You don't have to feel the same. The rest is excellent though.

it looks awesome I can't wait for thunder's buckel.

[IOAgeek]

Wow great job you should raise the buckel up so you can get max height and speed on this coaster throughout the layout!

[Jumpge]

Looks good to me Helmer!

[maarten12]

Perfect shaping and perfect speed in my opinion. I'm getting more and more excited about this coaster and I really hope you will be able to pull off the lay out !

[The Stig]

That looks absolutely amazing.

I see a pretty coaster
Hello hello pretty coaster
But seriously, this is going to be a beautiful woodie dueler

Chunk of meat? Well, thanks anyway!

No, I already lubed it some time ago. I'll leave the buckle as it is.

Mwoah, I think it is fine. Thanks for your comment!

Here is Thunders buckel...

I like how the train flies over the buckel, I will leave it this way.

Looks good to me Helmer!
