Hello guys, since I talk to much when I start a thread I'm going super simple now. Just try and guess what I am doing it will have inversions and airtime hills

Love your b&m pre drop. The shaping is also great.

[Connector1o1]

Sweet! It looks perfect.

What happened to Mamba, don't say that it is cancelled...

Well yes. I was doing some measuring and found out I do not have enough space for it to keep it accurate. Add to that I basically only have five ss sets.(one ss and a son of serpent which basically is four) also my parents didn't want something so big that it "ruined" the look of our basement. Please it looks terrible with all the peices laying around. But anyways yes. I have the worst building record of anyone. And I feel bad about it

[CartRacer56]

dude! that predrop is AMAZING

[JayketheKid]

I am using a six car train. Should I extend it or just keep it. I am targeting an appolos chariot drop

[CoasterWarriorUnlessSleeping]

Don't feel bad about canceling a few times. There have been people in the past who've cancelled more than you have. It seems quite obvious that you know how to build a good coaster, it's just that sticking with a coaster can be hard when you have a lot of problems. Going simple like you are doing right now is the best idea.


I'm loving the predrop. It looks like it's the perfect length (comparing to AC), and the shaping on the crest looks pretty good as well.

[JayketheKid]

Thanks for comments people. You peeps are the best!
Okay to day guys I only have one photo. I am wondering if I should start the pullout earlier than what it would be here in this photo. I don't have the pullout built I was just wondering where a good start for it would be. I am sure that it is way to late though

Tell me what you think as I am hoping that this will be my best coaster.

[Connector1o1]

No you don't. I have started several coasters and none of them have been finished. So, I have the worst building record, I started like 6 coasters, and they all flopped.
I think the pullout should be started earlier. It looks fine now, but it will have a teeny tiny pullout, and a large drop area. I think you should start the pullout just a tiny bit sooner. You could do that by removing that last triangle support, and start the pullout there. (IMO) Looks great!

[Rollerfreak987]

What you did with the drop structure (making it go down 1 diagonal black rod) is really weird. I think you should change it so it isn't like that. There's other solutions to the problem you're facing with this.

One is have the track "dig" into the supports.

[+Timmeh+]

That predrop reminds me of Apollo's Chariot.
Aside from that, it looks like youre limiting yourself to only build above the supports (Kind of what coastergeek said)
As far as the pullout goes, You should be good as long as the drop doesn't get steeper.

yea I tried making it go into the supports but it made it oddly weak/ I sure if I was using yellow rod boxes it would be great. I have solved the diagonal problem though but I still kept it

An Appolos Chariot drop is what im am targeting. yea I fixed the pullout it starts one red rod higher now.

Ok guys. this is just a verbal update. nothing to it but I just wanted to say I am not ready to do inversions considering one of my cars lost a wheel that would be under the rails. but this is just going to be a hyper inspired by appolos chariot, shambhala and diamond back.

[JayketheKid]

Okay no replies but as I said up there, this is just going to be a very big hyper.
Hello guys Jayke here with update number two. I have finished the drop and it's very smooth and the heart lining is just about right. Not much else to say. Okay guys auto save is not working so I can only upload one photo at a time so I will get the others on later

EDIT: I can fit in another photo! YaY!

The drop looks nice but you should start banking earlier and the pullout have to be bigger. Nice coaster so far!

[JayketheKid]

Well the reason the pullout is so small is the space restriction I have to work with. If I could I would though

[Gvus]

The banking does indeed need some work, it needs to start earlier.

[Jumpge]

That looks very smooth. Nice work on this one.

This. However, you have a great start.

Thanks!!

Yea I know it need work but I'm going to explain some stuff down there

That looks very smooth. Nice work on this one.

Thanks a lot! I'm not that far into it and it's already my favorite build

This. However, you have a great start.

Thanks,

Hello guys I have a quick verbal update. Let's just say that the B&M part of this ride is cancelled. I from now on will not be targeting any manufacturer. It will just be built to show you guys what I can create. Alan schilke is my inspiration so it might look a bit RMC. And inversions are back on the slate. But not like loops or cobra rolls. Even though I am taking out B&M from this coaster the pre drop is staying. It's too good!! Please share your opinion on this idea
