Started a new coaster this past week. I'm not sure if I will be doing a recreation of Rage by Gerstlauer or building a custom layout. I've built the station, lift hill, and first loop. It's a little more circular than normal loops, but I still have a few things to tweak with it first. The space I have to build is limited, so this will be a small coaster (small enough for me to build the right one). I'm debating about making the loop bigger, so any other opinions on this move would be appreciated!

And, in trying to have a little fun with this coaster, I've installed a "camera" at the bottom of the first drop.

Thanks!

I hope you're not building Rage because it's the other way round in real life but I like the camera. Hope you don't mind if I do something similar (or the same) on my current coaster. I'm just wondering if the crest is a touch sharp. From some angles it looks better than others. Also the loop does look very small. It looks like the car will only go up about half the height of the drop right now.

Was just going to mention that the vertical loop needs to be a little bit more taller. Try and making it 5 black rods high.

The crest is a little sharp. Also, try to make the loop around 5,5 granite tall. Shaping looks very neat! I hope you will be able to finish this coaster.
