Here is my new coaster Cheeta Run! This will be an RMC style coaster that will have _?_ inversions, and will stand about 4 feet tall!
Please tell me what you think!








This is not the way the real coaster is facing i had to take the pictures on my mac.

I really like the double up into the break run.

Good luck with this coaster

You are destined for greatness on this one! I'm very excited!

[CartRacer56]

looks good. The only thing i would do is make the pull-in to the lift a little tighter. Also, why is the title Cheetah Run and in the text you say Cheetah Hunt?

I will. I guess I was thinking about names and I accidentally put cheetah hunt! XD


I will try to get some work done this weekend but the rest of this week I will be at track meets and all that stuff but i will try to get some work done!

The only thing off I see here is an unconnected tie in image three. Other than that, keep going!

The double up before the brake run is causing your base to warp a bit, maybe make it a little longer so it is less sharp.

Yaay Earth day and a new Update!
I got the lift done and i think it is looking very RMCish, I know the pre-lift is misshapen and awful but thats because my siblings tried to close the door and it pushed the whole lift back. Please tell me what you think!

Sorry double post 8-)

Add more x-ties to the crest, redo the gearing connection, and put more triangles into your supports.

^ Oh no, Its cool. Looking good! Can't wait for more!

[Coasterman345]

I would make the crest bigger, but that's just me. Also, from the pics given, the pullout on the drop looks way too small. I agree with everything Ion said. Also, I mu honest opinion, the catwalk looks a little odd without handrails.

Not much to add with construction tips, but I would love to see this be a cross of New Texas Giant and Iron Rattler.

I can't really add triangular supports but i did add a more x-ties

I will add hand rails but not yet i am still trying to figure that out, I'm not sure if the crest is better but I hope it is.

Its kind of a mix between all of them but mostly those two because those are in the Texas parks.

I am sorry that I haven't been building but I will try to finish this coaster before July, I don't really have much to say, but I want you to have a lot to say.

Sorry didnt know the bottom was chopped off

[IonZer0]

There banking is way off (it isn't there), the drop turns in the wrong place, and the heartlining just shifts to the side, as opposed to rolling.

Try and smooth the track out, and like Ion said, fix the banking. Using more track ties can help with baking and smoothing, as would more connections between the supports and track.

I am pretty sure I got it now and it looks very nice in my eyes.

I did everything you said and it looks very nice.

Ok, I hope that this can make up for that last post and I'm pretty sure I have it down. Please tell me what you think XD







Thanks and please comment

There you go, it looks much better. I wouldn't add any more banking because I like how smooth the transition is. Please continue.

It looks "ok" at this point. It is not perfect, not bad either. The banking in the turn is improved a lot, making the ride look more realistic. There are some points that would greatly improve your ride: Shaping of the first drop, supports and diagonals.

Mainly in the third picture the shaping looks bad. In that picture, the track on the drop does not make a smooth curve downwards but makes a lot of S-turns - which you don't want on a drop. Try to make it a fluent transition from the drop into the curve to make it look a lot better!

I recommend having your supports curve with the track, instead of having a curved track go over a straight support. This is most obvious in picture 2. Not only is it a lot sturdier to have the track in the middle of the supports, it looks a lot better as well. No need to change it here, unless you really want to improve the ride aesthetically. Just a improvement for future turns

Last but not least, add diagonals! You need these to prevent the structure from shaking and with that losing a lot of speed. This should be an easy fix

Good luck building this!
