It would be super unique if you made a flat spin (I think that's what it's called? Basically just a large corkscrew) pass through the loop onto the outside of the drop.

Regardless, this is a wonderfully shaped coaster:)

Dude, Epic Zero-G-Roll over the station or under/over the lift hill! Then a helix to the brake run/station.

Yeaah, I thought of a zero-g-roll too but there is no much space to end the roll behind the station so maybe I'm gonna make a Zero-g above the brake run before station.
I love cobra rolls but I think the is no real good spot for one but if someone sees one please tell me:)

Very smooth and B&M'ish. I like it a lot! There really isn't much to say but wow, the colors are nice too.

thanks

The pullout from the dive loop seems a bit small but it looks very good other than that! You seem to be keeping speed very well too. A 0 g roll next would be cool, but you definitely have enough speed to do more than that.

I try to do a pretty nice zero-G-roll:)

Please, please, please get rid of the green rods in the loop. There are 3 specific straight spots that are caused by those, and I think they are unnecessary in general. Everything else looks good.

Did that yesterday cuz the straight spots looked ugly af but I thought they would be good to make the loop more solid

Thank you man:) I think I'm gonna build interlocking corkscrews so maybe this big corkscrew would be a bit too much

nice idea but in what direction do you thing should it go?
and can you please tell me the coaster name?

[Jartis]

it named thuderbird

thanks man

Personally, I'd roll right so you would exit away from the lift.
But honestly, either way would be fine.

[Spaghetti]

Have you done any new work on the coaster?

well, i tried the left way and hope there ain't many mistakes
If please tell

Have you done any new work on the coaster?

I came back from a gaming sleepover at a friend's yesterday evening and today I worked on the next element.

But right now ,while I have time to build I'm running out of some pieces. So I have to buy new . 'til I get them I can't move on��

Whatever, here are the results of todays building process

[Gvus]

This looks amazing, I don't know if you can pull it off, but if you fit two more inversions and finish it in time this would be an amazing entry for Summer Heat.

[The Stig]

Oh yes! That looks yummy!

Thank you man:) Thats something I never thought about but maybe I don't finish in time��
I planned to add a zero g roll and interlocking corkscrews so thats 3 more inversions.

Oh yes! That looks yummy!

Thanks you STIG

[GER Seano]

hey guys!
I done a bit on the station and used my left over yellow rods to go on build.

btw I had a fight with my lift hill but after hours of trying I had a solution for my problem.
well, I'm gonna fix the last few things at the lift hill tomorrow.

whatever here r the results for today.

[GER Seano]

Hey folks here're some updates for my coaster, train and my pieces-problem.


Coaster:
I worked on the lift hill and the break run.
I can't move on till all my ordered pieces are here


Breakrun:
I figured some break run styles for myself out and yesterday I build one where the breaks are always in break mode but if you pull one of the rubber bands
the breaks go down and the train rolls on his own into the station.
I hope to have the mechanism changed so maybe I'll have it automatically. But I'm not good at electrics and mechanics and maybe someone can tell me a way of automatically breaks or
even some trick for the station, because I don't want the train to run all the way trough the station without breaking for next run.

Pics bellow the text.

Pieces:
Yesterday I ordered some connectors and rods from KnexUserGroup and I hope they'll come in the next few days


Train:
I figure the best way to attach the seats on the wheel parts and try to build this in the next day while I'm waiting for pieces
My brother wanted to help my with the weighting and other stuff 'cuz he's studying chemistry and I hope he'll find a good material for weighting


And here are pics of break run and whole coaster











My plan for the next days is working on train and even finishing so I can upload a new test video

[Pegasus13792]

Wow it looks realy good can't wait for the end result

[GER Seano]

Wow it looks realy good can't wait for the end result

yeah me too


my ordered pieces are at the post office 'cuz there was a are lightning that crashed our internet for a few days and our bell so the postman ranged at the door but i didn't hear that 😕

whatever i hat some time to work on my train and bit on my coaster.

I lubricated my custom train and put some batteries as weight on 'til I attached the seats on the wheel parts.

The train doesn't make the dive loop but I'm gonna make that a bit smaller.

Here's a new update video

Before you make the dive loop smaller extend the pullout/pullin between the loop and dive loop. (It's quite sharp which will cause some speed loss).

ohhh i see what you mean thanks I'll try that.

[Cobra Roller]

I'll try to be as clear as possible with this:

On the entry to the dive loop, specifically on the support right before the tallest point of the dive loop, you'll want to add another diagonal support that directly opposes the forces the train exerts on the track. Also, in general, make sure you straighten your tubes. I often have the same issue on my micro coasters, and doing so makes a huge difference in performance.

[GravitySnake]

Nice, i would suggest a rightwards corkscrew next.
