This is my first coaster on ssc but my fourth overall. Right now I dont have many pictures but I will get more soon. I'm going to support the drop a little more but I just got it moved to my grandparents house so I have more room to build. Right now the train almost makes the hill but I think with more supports and lubing the train it will make it easily. Thanks for looking and tips are very appreciated!

It looks good but I would recommend supporting that turn more to prevent shaking and speed loss.

EDIT: Sorry didn't see what you said, other than that it looks great, way better than i could build.

It does look very smooth I have to say. I agree with Koozie in that the supports around the corner could do with some beefing up but that's fairly easy to do.

All you need to do is, like you said, add more supports! Superb shaping!

I'm really liking the look of this. One thing you could do to improve the crest is to make it look less 'semicircle-ish.' It needs to be a sharper crest.

Looks nice from what I can tell, but add some laterals on that turn as it could kill your speed if you don't.

This coaster is finished and I named it Challenger 52 ( 52 inches tall). Its bad at the end because i was running out of cross ties and was to excited to start my next coaster ( also why it doesnt have a station). Now heres some pictures.

This really isn't a bad coaster at all! I like it, simple but sleek. Also, I notice a lift in the background.

The shaping looks pretty smooth, it looks good. I laughed a little when I saw the end of the ride, but I completely understand, I hope you can finish your next coaster a little smoother.
