My only complaint is that the base looks a little flimsy.

[JayketheKid]

Yes like what ^ said. I would make the base strong. Plus, I would make it more 3 dimensional like make another layer of the same pattern and make it a blue rod or so thick. Make sure to have all the triangles you can get.

As others have said, make the base stronger. But with that spine use grey 4 way conectors to connect it to the track instead of blue 3d's, it will look better and the chaindogs will be less prone to hitting it, saving you speed.

This is your first coaster? Each time I see that title I'm very impressed when I see the coaster.
Move on!

I think I`v fallen in love.... with your spine lol.

[Bleach11]

these are my plans for the coaster. any changes i should make or suggestions?

[The Stig]

I would re-arrange the inversions to Pretzel Loop > Loop > Corkscrew.
Corkscrews are typically smaller than loops.

I bet he is going for one of this large corkscrews like on hydra at dorney park. I think hydra is at dorney?

^Yeah it is. The picture looking down the lift just doesn't seem right with the way you made the top hat turn slightly to the right.
I see you might have done so to make your planned turn in that direction easier, but I think it should stay straight. I think it would look better but it's up to you. Looks great btw

That's right! I wanted the corkscrew to go over the launch like in the blueprint's

I really love it don`t know how you guys keep making that spine but it`s truly awesome.

1st test video

Wow. That thing flies!
How do you keep the chain from exploding?

[Bleach11]

It does explode from time to time. I just remake the chain when it does

Good, good, good!. the launch is very fast im 100% sure that you will have enough speed to make the first hill , Good luck

[Bleach11]

A little piece of advice. A rubber band kept in the refrigerator lasts longer than one that doesn't.

Hey guys!!! Thank for all the compliments on this coaster!! It really fills me with joy to see all of these really great builders saying such nice things on my first coaster!!

ANYWAY!!! On to the coaster!! I do apologize for my lack of updates in the past few weeks. With school and all I haven't had the time to work on it. But I'm planning on spending time on it today. I'm going to stray from my original plans and come up with a completely new design!!! Wish me luck!!!!

[dgohstand]

Good luck!

I'm sure what you plan to do will be really cool!
