Definitely the right element for this coaster. You certainly are maintaining the twistyness nicely. There are some straight spots heading into the cobra roll which may be killing your much needed speed in the fast section. Hopefully you'll be able to get some more elements in after this as well.
Thanks! Twisty was what I had in mind - and I did manage to fit bonus elements in now
Staffordshire knot? I've never heard of that before. I'm guessing that's a combination of a batwing and a cobra roll that are interlocking? Anyway, this is a really unique coaster. I've nothing else to say.
Yep, spot on! Thank you!
Anyway, you may have thought this project was long dead, but I'm now back to blow off the Cobwebs after 2 months without an update. There have been many, many changes since then....
These start with the pre-drop section. Yeah, that's pretty much gone now, as it quite clearly wasn't working, and I've switched to something more feasible. Can you spot the cheeky bit of airtime?
Now this is what I've spent the bulk of my time on! It's not automatic, but I like being able to control it manually.
Station gates were a real pain to install, but I hope it's been worth the effort! Chain coming soon
Airgates closed, station gates open...
A look at all those juicy cogs. I know the station's a mirror image to what you'd usually expect, but hey....I'm unique.
Moving back from the station, here's the final hill and turn back into the station. For some reason, inclined brake runs really seem to appeal to me.
It's an airtime barrage! I could've put two inversions in, but I wanted some variety.
One of my favourite shots of the ride!
All lovely and wacky.
I spy airtime! And a path...note that the spine isn't fully formed yet.
Side on view of the bump. You might be interested to know that this is in almost exactly the same place as the hill on Vortex.
Of course, there are still gaps for where the green part will make its return!
Anyone feel like guessing where the green track will go?
Another shot of the station. There's a lot of room under the station, isn't there? Hmm?
Spoiler: Something subterranean. (ish)
Because FTW, that's why.
And there we go. I'll finish with the next piece of the next part to be supported. On the ground you can see part of the chain system to be installed, and you can probably tell where that's going to go.
So what's next? Well, once I've finished off the station and the brake run, I need to seriously work on my speed efficiency. So far, only one train sort of makes it round the red track, and for the green track, where everything works, the second half of the Batwing really needs work. Expect some train changes!
Then, I'll very awkwardly manoeuvre myself to finish off rest of the green side - namely the MCBR and one remaining inversion.
That's all for now folks. Hope I've sorta made up for the long wait!
