Alright so I decided to make a thread for this because I am really excited for it! This is my first SS coaster I have made and If you saw my blog post you saw the beginning. I haven't done much to it yet. Hope you like it! (I know the spines on the corkscrew are backwards It is just easier for me to have them that way )[ATTACH=CONFIG]8118[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8119[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8120[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8121[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8122[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]8123[/ATTACH] http://www.youtube.c...eature=youtu.be Also, I am getting another SS soon (out of pieces right now and im getting RR boosters for a launch after the turn!)
Comment please

Looks very good but once you recieve your ss try ro make some supports so you can makee a little hill befbefpre the launch.

Looks pretty good for a first and considering you only have one SS right now. My suggestions would be to: 1. (when you get your next SS) add some more solid supports to the corkscrew because right now they look kind of weak. 2. stagger the flexi rods so that they don't end at the same spot and on your next coaster even remove the ladder connectors between the flexies, both of these things will make the track a lot smoother and hopefully get you some more speed out of your coaster. Good luck!

^ Thanks for the advice! I am currently working on the corkscrew for any extra support I can give it until I get more pieces.

Nicely done! That cork looks great (except for the lack of support haha). The immelmann just needs to start rotating a little sooner, but thats it. Your supports before you ran out of pieces were good (just try to get more triangles in there for support), so I'm not worried for when you get your next SS .

^ Thanks a lot! I have now built tube supports on the corkscrew with what I had left. I will get to the immelmann next!

UPDATE! Alright I think i fixed the supports on the corkscrew with tubes. Also I am probably going to get a Rippin Rocket instead of a screamin serpent. It comes with more support pieces. Here are some pics

from a different angle

And another angle

Thanks for the help!
comment please!

i'm liking the flow of this coaster. but the exit of the corkscrew looks a bit too tight try to fix this..

[Josh Monster]

inbetween the immelmann and corkscrew there is a bump that can be fixed and the exit of the corkscrew can be smoothed out like ^ said. The supports for the corkscrew look better.

[crazyracer]

wow great start. I love the drop , although I do agree about what josh monster said about the exit of the corkscrew. Also about the straight spot in between the immelmann. I f you fix that then you will be good, anyways
if you fix all that , then you should be set.

[-=Zach=-]

^ Thanks! I will work on the immelmann and cork tomorrow.

[-=Zach=-]

UPDATE!
Alright this is just going to be verbal I reshaped the immelmann and now the pivot point is earlier in the inversion. Also I smoothed out the cork and turn so there are not sharp spots!
Also I have a name: Atlas (What do you think?)
Please comment

[crazyracer]

well so far so good since you fixed that cork everything is good. As far as the name goes I think it sounds cool.

[-=Zach=-]

^ Thanks! I think I will go with it then

[-=Zach=-]

Hello again all! It's been way too long and i'm sorry for the delay. I have recently purchased and received a rippin rocket and have added on to this coaster! Before you look at the pics Please note that the exit of the cobra roll is not finished and will be smooth anyways,



now for this launch I will be using boosters. Just need to modify them



Cobra Roll!







Comment please! :)

[TheCodeMaster]

Looks really nice! Maybe make the pullout on the exit a little bigger.

[-=Zach=-]

^ yeah I thought the same thing. I will fix that before the next update . For the my first cobra roll, it didn't actually turn out horrible!

Here is a crappy quality test
