Reminds me of my ride dragon, I used boosters in a similar way, after a bit of the ride was done, it launches you again =)

Thanks alot for all the support and comments so far guys! I am still going to get more sets soon so I can finish it and go on to a new coaster. So with all that said, This will probably be the last update for a while :(

I think you should also try to get the lift to work. one tip: put the top red gear after the top of the crest.

Liking the twistyness and the elements. Really good for your first coaster. The shaping looks excellent.

The lift is going to be powered by a drill making it very fast. Almost a launch. If It were going to be a regular lift I would have done that ;)

You should just finish the coaster if your running out of parts, you have done alot already and probebly will run out of speed soon. Keep up the good work! :)

Thanks! as far as the layout, I will be ending the coaster with the next set. But i am going to probably put in another inversion! It will be a secret for now! ;)

Hey guys, sad news. My water heater has been broken and while I was at cp, my dad was trying to fix it. Turns out he was moving stuff out of the basement and broke down almost all of Atlas. Now I have 2 options:
1. Build Atlas again with a similar layout (wont be the same)
2. Build a whole new coaster for the Tetris comp.

I will let you decide as I have do not know wich one to choose. (although I am sort of leaning toward the Tetris coaster)
Thanks, and sorry for the way it turned out :(

I'd go for Tetris. If you're leaning towards it you'll feel more motivated to build it and there weren't a whole lot of entries for Summer Heat last year so the more the merrier.

I agree with ^^. If you are leaning more towards the tetris contest you'll probably have more of a chance of finishing it. I've only been in one contest but they're very fun and that was the only coaster on this website I have finished so far (out of 3)! :)
