crest needs to be bigger to have a better shaped drop

[Gvus]

I love the drop! This would be a lot of work, but it will look a lot better if you made the lift less steep as B&M hyper lifts are at a much more shallow angle than what you have.

[soggyhotdoggg]

I think the drop looks great! But B&M pullouts seem to begin closer to the ground, noticeably lower than half the height of the coaster. Also, agreed with gvus on the steepness on the drop.

Well looking at the second to bottom photo if you made the crest larger and stick out to the right more it would look better size wise and would give just about the right steepness too

I think that the crest needs to be larger like this:

That's just my opinion though! Looking great!

[Kevkillerke]

I really think you should make the crest bigger. It looks quite disproportionate. But, if you like it, and that's what you're aiming for, then continue, I won't nitpick that much.

The crest is fine as it is IMO, so I'll leave it as it is. I hope you like it now the drop is steeper.

I agree make the crest a bit bigger and then you will have a better shaped drop.

The drop was not steep enough, I think I fixed it now.

Thanks, and indeed it was a hell of a work

Indeed, I lowered the pull out.

I didn't make it bigger, but thanks for the help.

Thanks for the picture! That was one option, I took another one thoug.

Another update on the lift/drop.

I have this picture:


It showed me what I had to do, and I did my best.
I made the lift angle less than 45° and started my pull out later.
I also moved the first drop-tube to make it steeper.

Comment please, I want to hear your thoughts

That is beautiful! Perfect shaping, you really nailed it.
Can't wait to see what's next!

[soggyhotdoggg]

You definitely got the drop perfect now, fantastic job!

[CartRacer56]

thats MUCH better please continue

[The Stig]

Wow. That came out looking incredible! I agree with Zach, you really nailed it

[Jumpge]

The new drop is gorgeous and the new lift structure looks like it'll look great.

[< NCcoaster >]

I really love this new drop! It is just insane. I can't wait to see the array of elements you will have on something this big. I think that vv hyper coasters keep much better speed than loopers, so I can't wait to see how much length you can get in the layout.

You will have to wait a little bit longer for that special thing

You definitely got the drop perfect now, fantastic job!

Thanks!

Thanks, and I did

Thanks a lot for the picture, it helped a lot!

Thanks, I didn't build the lift further because it doesn't fit in the room

Thanks, and I hope I will maintain speed because I got something special on my mind for this

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Since last update I did some planning, I looked at real hypercoasters and I calculated a realistic height for an airtime hill.
Without the base the top of the lift is 6,3 orange rods tall, and I want to make an airtime hill of 5,5 orange rods tall.
So far it looks like it will make it (did a test run), let's hope it does.

Here are some pictures:









Keep up the commenting

Holy crap that's beautiful. I'm assuming that you'll add more supports as that first airhill is complete. Also, you may want to stretch the pullout a bit more; it feels a bit tight to me. Regardless, this is amazing.

[crazyracer]

I haven`t commented much on this tread I`m glad I did now everything looks good, except what I would do for the bottom of the dive before it comes up is make the air hill hill before the crest not so steep and it should go a lot faster and higher cause if you have you bottom t tight and the hill to steep it can change your speed completely. I do see this being a great coaster though and good luck on the 5.5 height very unrealistic but if it`s possible that would be incredible for a vv coaster.

[JayketheKid]

It's kind of a small pull in but it's not too small. I think it's a little to steep. Just make it a smudge less steep and it will be better. This is is a beauty so far

[Gvus]

Looks nice, but I believe that the pullin is a tad bit too steep, just fix that and it will be great!

[Connector1o1]

I agree with making the pullout bigger, I think it could save you some precious speed! I think it looks fine the way it is, I really like where this coaster is going!

[-=Zach=-]

I tried to get something that looked okay, here's what I got:

If you follow the edge of the black oval shape, and it should look a lot better. Very smooth shaping.

[+Timmeh+]

I think that the pull out for the drop should end at about the 7th box from the end, as illistrated above ^
