Hello people of ssc. [201st post! ]

With the unfortunate cancellation of "Corkscrew" I have had the most amount of votes in the poll which decided the next coaster I build.

But, I will one day return to corkscrew.

Now on to this coaster.
I lowered the station from a gray rod in height to a green rod.
I also didnt lower the pullout all the way to the ground because it was hard to stretch out the pullout without creating straight spots.
I think it turned out pretty well. But after this hill, I plan on doing an air hill that will lower to the ground.









Leave your toasters below.

Whoops made a change.

Awesome. YOU are getting much better of a builder

Looks nice!
Are you sure you want the pulloutto be so high? It is unique, but the drop will only be 2/3 the way down at the bottom of the pullout.

Thanks!
Yeah, I plan to do a small air hill that goes up a small amount but goes all the way down to the floor

I like the concept. I hope you can make it look good. Maybe you can make the air hill into a 180° upward turn with a drop to the ground, under the lift? Just an idea maybe...

.Shaping in general looks good, although I would recommend building your supports closer to the track and having more connections between them.

If you don't have many of one color crossties, I suggest using yellow for the lift and green for the layout, or vise versa. That is what I do. If you don't have a lot of pieces, what if you were to try example: 6 green, 6 yellow, 6 green, ect. In a pattern? I think it would look cool!

That is a good idea, but I am sevearly colorblind and Can not tell Yellow from green no matter how hard I try :/

[JayketheKid]

Try and have someone seperate the two for you. That might help.

This looks pretty good! But I would suggest using gray rods for the drop as it is pretty large.

Sorry to hear that..

Sorry for the long wait, I've had to re-build a lot because some people have messed with the coaster, so from now on I'll be building in my room.

Thanks folks, Ill definitely keep all of that in mind

The photo quality compared to my other pictures may be different, this is because I just got a new camera, being the Canon Powershot LPH 130. This is a point-and-shoot compared to my Canon T3i DSLR.

I would like to know what you guys think of this concept :

I plan to make this air hill, shown below, drop to the floor.
Should I keep make the angle of the decent 25 degrees or 45? This is hard for me to determine because it only has about 2 gray rods to drop before it drops to the floor.





(Sorry for the messy room xD)

Looks very smooth. The only thing I would have to say is that the first part of the drop should have more cross ties, unless you added more. (This update doesn't show what I'm talking about) Look at the second picture. There are less CPF (Cross Ties Per Flexi) than the pullout.

^ Why would he need more? He's got a pretty good amount in my opinion, and it's equal throughout the coaster so far.
Looks good, and I would say to make it about 35° at the steepest point, but keep it curvy.

Looks very good! I would love an overveiw because it looks like the drop turns some and I want to see what the entire drop looks like.

Thanks, the crest in this picture looks weird because it isnt connected to the lift.

So many updates.

I like your logo and the rollercoaster you drawed

[Dragon_drake_5012]

Perfect logo, but the pullout is TERRIBLE:P.
You should go all the way up for the hill, then have a Leviathan turnaround.
