Hmm, smell like the late 80's steel around here!

This is my very first completely solo build! I just got 2 more sets so im really excited to finish the design.

Please leave feedback!

Please note!: The gray rod support is temporary (the support by the red switch for the motor)






PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK BECAUSE YOU ,AY KNOW SOMETHING WRONG THAT I DON'T!!!!!:D=):)

I like the coaster so far!, but one question is: you got 2 SS sets, why you dont use 2 motors on the top you got than more power.

Looks really cool so far! A schwarzkopf looper will be very fun to make and build. 2 motors would make the lift more powerful, but one seems fine for a 3 car train. Can't wait to see more

I will consider that

Drop has been finished!!! Im seeing the 80's, man!

Feedback is always appreciated! :)

[-=Zach=-]

The drop looks nice, but on the straight section of the drop, I would use gray rods instead of flexies. It makes the drop look much straighter. And grays are much stronger.

Im here again with ANOTHER UPDATE!

Today,I finished making the bottom of the hill and finishing the next. Not too much progress, but here is a test video



^ I know its terrible quality but I assure you its just photobucket. I have a 650$ canon t3i, so the final video is going to be 1080p. I might make it 4k

Here is some other stuff, as you can see, My cat got into my tubing...

THERE IS THE VIDEO

That looks very nice. Are you going to put in a loop in this one?

Yes I am

[+Timmeh+]

Just another update!

But yes, here are a series of pictures, I hope you guys enjoy the corkscrew, I originally tried a loop, but it was too small
















THE SHAPING IS NOT FINAL Please leave feedback ;-)

[-=Zach=-]

Actually, if you just made the second half of the cork closer to the first, i would be a loop! just move it to the right of the two gray rods and boom, loop.
Other than that, it looks great!

I dont think im going to build much more until someone can give me input/feedback. This coaster will return once that happens! Thanks, -Tim

The second half of your corkscrew looks good, make the first half similar to the second. Also when the track is completely upside down it should be 90 degrees turned from the entry.

Well, with the amount of speed you have left, I would recommend scrapping the loop/cork for now, and making a hammerhead or something to that effect, and trace along the original portion of the ride. Unfortunately, your ride is now too short to make any tall inversions, but what you can do is to have a turnaround, then a corkscrew that goes back, and just bunny hop and buckle your way back to the station.

[-=Zach=-]

I like the layout ^ showed. Also, because it has a corkscrew instead of the iconic "loop," is the coaster now an Arrow looper? To me, the layout reminds me more of an arrow looper anyways. It's similar to one of the simple looper's like Corkscrew at CP.

I have made the 90 degree turn a full 180 degrees, so I definitely love your layout
