Goodness it's been a long time since I posted here. I started the construction of this coaster on Thursday of this week and this is how far I have come. I am going for a very twisty look. I am building backward as of now, however, where the track ends on the smaller turn around, I will resume building normally.
Enjoy!

Is it RMC inspired?

Edit: the hill before the larger turn should be a zero gravity roll.

That looks great. I was also wondering if it is RMC inspired.

Insanely amazing build here, it looks like a bit of an RMC and GCI cross. It's good to see you're back building again!

That looks absolutely beautiful! I would highly suggest that you put turn pieces on the last helix as it currently looks a bit odd.

I originally had turn prices on the helix, but they killed the speed. It works much better this way.

Nice and compact, just your style.
Looks great.


Thanks!

Thanks, I really enjoy building twisty compact coasters!

Well, I've worked for the last two days on finishing the circuit.
The first turn is not fully supported yet, I just though I'd show you all.
I wish I could have done more, but I have a lot if family coming in three days for my brothers graduation party and a few people will be crashing in my room. I had to finish up quick!
