Looks great so far! I love tube supported VV coasters.
I think a turning drop with a twisty layout would look very cool.
Keep on building !
I love them too
Turning drop it is
Do you have the real VV inverted cars?
Yes I have them, but I don't know if I should use them. I will test with normal and inverted cars to see what looks/works the best.
Looking great, Ading diagonals should help a lot on the lift. For the drop I think you should do a Banshee style turning drop.
Edit: your lift apears to not be perfectlu straight, Id suggest strengthening your backbone.
Yep, I will add diagonals. I looked at a picture of batman the ride for the lift/drop
I tried to fix the lift.
Looks cool. I don't think diagonals on the lift are extremely nessicary, but they do help. Just make sure you have a lot of diagonals on the turning drop, or other twisty elements.
With the diagonals, the lift will be much more solid. That can help reduce the shaking in the drop. And it looks cool I think.
Its great to see you building again! My only complaint is that the third tube support bends very far in ward. I understand if that can't be fixed though. Good luck with this, inverts are really fun to build and I'm sure you'll have a great final product!
I fixed that tube, and inverts are indeed fun, but hard.
Great to see you building again! I'm always a fan of your builds.
That base looks great and I'm excited to see what kind of layout you have in mind.
Hearing that from you made me smile
The base was from my cancelled coaster, so maybe I'll still change it.
You're back from the dead! My only criticism is that the lift doesn't look straight. Everything else is spot on!
Yeah, the lift didn't looked like it is supposed to look. It is better now I think.
Since I don't remember you ever having turn pieces and you have spiked track, does that mean the turn drop will be like Banshee? That would be sick, I can't wait. I'm excited to see you building again because you are a great vv builder, and you haven't done anything in over a year. Everything looks good except for the bending on the lift, good luck!
I built once with turn pieces, but I like this style more. And thanks for the compliment

So, small update about the lift:
I added a catwalk underneath the lift, the design looks cool, but it is still a bit shaggy :/
Also the crest is still bothering me. I made it a bit better then the pictures below, but that still needs some work.
The main problem is the weight of all the pieces, it makes the lift/catwalk bend.
This is the catwalk
From this point of view, the crest is really ugly
So, do you guys have ideas fixing the problem of the catwalk/crest?
I am off for 5 days, so no update until then
