So, I've decided to join in on the contest now that I can't work on any major projects for a while. Well, I made this little eurofighter thing, the lift is slanted like that so that it takes less time for it to get at the curve so that the pullout doesn't look out of proportion. I plan this ride to be pretty unique and cool and such. So, here's some pictures of it. I think I got the drop right.



...And yes, that is my bed frame. It's going to serve a rather useful purpose to me soon. Working on some parts of the coaster that I couldn't get to normally without tearing away like 1/2 of it.

Comment... if you want.

Terrain perhaps?
But anyways, it looks nice so far. I want to see more.

Thanks!

Yes, terrain. Thanks, and you're about to see more.

Lol, about the bed, I was thinking of using it be able to build things from more angles, but the bed turned out to be too small, so I made a temporary stand. So, from last time I have made the first inversion, which leads into the tallest drop of the ride. The inversion is like a dive loop or a corkscrew, can't decide on which one it is. So, here are some pictures of what I've made.



In case you ever wondered what it is like to be under a coaster...

Well, in real life the shaping looks fine but in these pictures the shaping has a lot of straight spots. So yeah, shaping, I'll see what I can do about that during the week. In the meantime, comment... if you want.

Verry unique, I like it.

[Rollerfreak987]

I quite like it! Will the base be covered with something so it's like you're diving into a tunnel?

Thanks! I don't know for sure, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I have made a tongue inversion. I have also started to form some terrain, such as the tall mountain in the corner. Off topic but, it would be really fun to make like an 8' knex mountain and have a coaster going through it. Anyway, so here are some picture since I'm not really sure what to say.




Also, here's a little test video. Now, just to be clear, the train does go through it faster, but the way I was getting the train to fall was causing slight speed loss.

Next update will be like next week, I hope. Comment... if you want.

This is looking good, its gonna be a hard choice when voting, so many great coasters.

[DutchKnexBuilder's]

Looks awesome!

Thanks.

Thanks.

So, sorry it's been a while, but I was busy with school and other things of the sort. So, first off: I made this dive loop overbank thing. Does it count as an inversion? I can't tell. Also, I got started on the lift area, and made some more terrain. Well, here are the pictures:


This is how much space I have left.

Here's some more terrain!


I should be done very soon now that the track is almost done and there's not much else to do other than finishing up the landscaping and themeing this thing. Comment... if you want. Edit: Oh, I almost forgot: I have (so far) decided to name this coaster 'COLD'.

[Gvus]

I'd count that as an inversion, its like an inclined dive loop!

[Jumpge]

Very nice. I'm really in love with the shaping that you currently have on the last element.

[Rollerfreak987]

I love the shaping on that. It looks superb.

Could we have an overview in the next update? Im not rally following where the track goes...

Now that you mention it, I agree with you.

Thanks! Yes, you may have an overview where the track goes.

Okay, so first things first, Merry Christmas, everyone!
Well, so I completed the track of this. I don't really like the layout, but because of speed and space I didn't have choices that didn't require me doing another lift hill. I wish I could've made this longer. I'll get to what I wanted to do but couldn't in a moment.

As CoasterGeek987 requested...

Oh, and there you can also see the snow I'm covering the boxes with so that it brings out the terrain.

I wanted to have like an inclined helix right there, but nooooo, it was too tight. I thought it would've been a really nice ending to this coaster, but whatever.
I know about this part, but in my defense, it's hard to build when you have to reach through terrain and tube supports and build in a very limited spot.






I actually have a reason that I'm not doing a test video yet. It's because, for some reason, the train isn't making the tongue, even though it would make it just fine before.I just lubed the train, so I'm hoping that will affect it. If it doesn't, then I don't know. The next updates will likely be themeing, hopefully I can do what I want with that at least. Comment... if you want.
Edit: Oh, and I also threw a little logo together.

Everything looks solid, and the terrain will make it look unique.

So, I have a test video since I got everything working and all that good stuff. I'll get an update with pictures tomorrow. This will be as soon as I get a decent amount of scenery on.

[ZachCreate]

It looks even better in a test video! Awesome! This is great, I love the tongue inversion! Can anybody show me that on a real coaster...

[-=Zach=-]

Can anybody show me that on a real coaster...

That's on Takabisha at Fuji-Q Highland. Banana rolls and tongue inversions are the same, right?

Looks really good and I love the terrain concept.

[Jumpge]

I really like the "snow" covering the terrain. It's much more realistic than regular terrain and looks amazing.
Super cool coaster. So cool it's almost... cold. AYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE.

[crazyracer]

I definitely agree that the terrain looks kick ass and your layout has good speed and very realistic , I especially love the tunnels you`v created.
