Here is a new VV coaster that I am making
it is small and I am using most of my pieces for my science fair project so I don't have a lot to work with; that's why I have a vertical lift.
I currently have a half-loop-thingy (for lack of better terminology) and I plan on making this one of my first almost all tube coasters!
Any input is appreciated!
some pics:
Thanks!

Looks good What's next?
Thanks
I was thinking of a second half loop to bring it closer to the start and then a loop/tilted-loop-thingy and then a corkscrew to bring it back. Might not have enough pieces though

The "half loop thingy" would probably be a immelman.
ohhhhhh.... THAT'S what it is... Thanks for clarification - I have no knowledge of any of the names of elements except for a loop, corkscrew, and cobra roll lol

Good pacing and shaping, but if I was you I would sharpen the curve connecting the immelman to the inclined loop, since it makes it appear a little like a cobra roll. You could use the immelman tube support too. It'll also make your life a little easier in conserving energy!
What's next?

Very nice. There is no shaking, and the shaping is smooth. You still have a lot of height left, hope you can use it well!

Now there's a corkscrew/barrel roll. It will [hopefully] do another side loop turn thingy then come under the barrel roll and go into a station.

I also like the idea and flow of where this coaster is going also how do u make the spine bend with out the pieces bend?
Thanks .
I basically just use force to bend it. Yes, everything bends including the connectors. It sometimes is VERY hard to shape elements like corkscrews.
