The lift looks really strong and sturdy. Make sure to finish this coaster, you are cancelling too many of your projects.

I completely agree. If you put the time an effort into finishing a coaster, there is much more accomplishment as opposed to building a portion of a coaster, breaking it down then starting a new project.

I like the way that yo angled the tube supports on the lift! I'm currently just learning how to build with tubes, so I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into that to create what you've gotten so far.
The pre-drop also looks like it's off to a solid start.
I'm curious to see where the layout will go.

Great to hear you like it!

And it also is really strong and sturdy haha. Yah.. I agree with you about me cancelling too many projects. And that's exacly why I'm making a smaller coaster now.

As I said to Helmer, I completely agree about me cancelling too many projects. It's so good to hear that someone with much more experience in building coasters likes mine! About the layout, that's also a big surprise for me ;)

Thanks for the comments, they really support me!
Anyway, I have a new update for you, as promised :) I'm not too excited about how it turned out, but to be honest, I can't really see where it goes wrong.

Looking good and sturdy, the crest might be a little bit sharp though especially on the first picture. Just make sure you will finish this one, I think it should be doable because it's rather small :).

I think your predrop goes down too much. If you raise it by a white rod and make the transition from the drop to the predrop less sharp it'll look great!

I think I fixed the crest, or at least, I like it the way it is now. Thanks!

looks pretty good!!

Thank you!

Well, I like the speed the car has after the pre-drop now, so I don't think I'll change that. Thanks!

Small update!

I redid the drop and added some more things on the lift. I think it looks good now, but please let me know if you disagree. Please don't mind me about the beginning of the pullin, it's not finished yet. Just look at the pictures!

I'm loving it so far to dude I think you should smooth out the pullot a big with that sharp spot at the end of it and your good also raise the chain guide from the first like 5 halfmoons were the chain doesn't touch it so it can then now too! I live the lift structure and tube supports too I used that for sniper too and so did jogumpie for looping star too Ik they're very strong keep it up dude I can't wait for what the first element will be form this coaster that your building please don't cancel this btw!!!

looks pretty good , drop is way better to me atleast and lift looks really sturdy with those tubes. Only complaint is at the bottom of the drop , theres a straight spot.
