I started a new coaster, because I really lost motivation on Jabberwocky. It isn't cancelled, but I don't think I finish it until the Summer Heat Deadline.
However, let's talk about this coaster... It's a dive coaster with an Immelmann at the beginning (halfway finished). Unfortunately I have no single green x-tie left so I had to switch to yellow's but they're looking crappy and I'll order green x-ties to replace the yellow ones. Hopefully I get it to make an automated holding brake.

Pictures:):








I think when I put green crossties on it it will look alot better!


What do you think? Please comment!

That looks nice. But I would make the drop sharper and I would start the twist on the Immelmann sooner

Is this good?




Comments are very much appreciated !!!

That looks a lot better. I like the small size of this coaster.

[Gvus]

I'm liking how compact this is, maybe the end can be quite small and twisty.

[JayketheKid]

Looks a lot better. I am anxious to see more

[DDRman732865]

THe drop and the half loop part look great. However, as Jayke said, have the immlemann start twisting a couple inches before the top of the loop.

big builder145 made a tutorial for a dive machine holding brake here:

Looks good, but like stated the Immelmann needs to start twisting sooner.

[Yannick]

Thank's for all your nice amd helpful comments !!!


I started the second half of the immelmann and I just want to know if the General shaping is ok.
SUPPORTING IS FAR FROM FINISHED AND I KNOW THE SUPPORTS ARE BENDING.
Does the exit need to be steeper?

The twist has to end earlier, right?

Please Comment!

[Mister Piglette]

I,d say the shaping looks fine to me. Just fix the bending a tad

[ZachCreate]

Shaping looks great except I see a double drop in the background, dive coasters probably shouldn't have double-drops... but everything looks good excepting that.

Thank's, I thought the immelmann looked horrible. I fixed the bending:)

:DThank you!


...I fixed the bending and made a different shaping. Supporting is still not finished but I added a strong spine and now it almost doesn't shake anymore.

This is a very small update, but I finished the high speed turn.





I want to say sorry for the double posting in the last update(thumbsdown)

Love the banking on that high speed turn. Plus, that Immelmann is super sexy. Anyway, you should be able to get in a couple more elements before this thing runs out of speed.

[Yannick]

Does it mean I should put the high speed turn elsewhere in the layout to save speed?

You are unbanned. Looks good though.

No no, it's placement is just fine.
