I know there is no such thing as a B&M Eurofighter, but I decided to make one anyways. This is the lift, drop, and half loop from "The Eurofighter That Eats Gyros". It was never actually cancelled, I was just constructing it on and off, and I finally came out with something. I am using elements from the coaster Iron Shark, so you can compare with that if you want. Enough talking, let's see some pictures!

Current Overview (The drop is not as bumpy as it looks):


First Half of Strange Element:


Second Half of Strange Element (There are no straight spots, the picture makes it look like there is one, ):


Both Halves of Strange Element POV:



Last Two Elements:


Steep Angled Helix/Inclined Loop:


Over Banked Turn:


I hope you see this, and if you do, please comment!


Please pick whether I should figure out a way to get the coaster to end, have a vertical chain lift, or a 45 degree chain lift.

Looks good! Please continue!

You know, as crazy as the supports and spine look, the shaping is quite nice man. I like how twisty it is in some places.

Thank you I will, well, in a while...

Thank you, I know my supports and spine look crazy. I will eventually make a coaster with normal spines and supports. Twisty-ness was my goal.


I won't be posting again until Wednesday because I'll be at Knotts tomorrow and Tuesday. Yay!

Update: I added a little flexi-rod tunnel for the final turn to go over to get to the station. I also smoothed the lift crest and drop with a spine. I will work on the coaster for the rest of today, but I went hiking this morning, and it took a while.

Tunnel (Not sure if it qualifies for Summer Heat, PM-ing Sig about that):

It loses height quickly but other than that it looks great, the shaping is good and that tunnel looks pretty cool, good job.

How many cars per train does a B&M Eurofighter have?

[Cobra Roller]

There really isn't any other description of that tunnel other than "uber-cute." Seriously.

It's so cute, I love it! How come I never thought of that? It's soooo cute!
Even though the supports and spine aren't all the same, it still looks Filipino amazing!

That's a great question! I imagine them like regular Gerstlauer trains (4 seats per row, 2 rows) except a little more B&M styled.

Why, thank you.

Thank you, once again. What do you mean by Filipino...

I cannot show you any pictures, I haven't built the station yet because I'm waiting for more yellow rods in the mail. Once they come and I build, I will give you guys photos.

There is no real need to comment, but comments make me happy, so..... Please Comment.

If you want some Ideas, then you should look at my coaster update with the station! I guarantee you will get some inspiration!

[ZachCreate]

I finally got more pieces, built a station, connected the lift and finished it up. I shortened the cute tunnel in the process but there's still a tunnel. Pictures:
