The exit seems a bit off, but other than that, WOAH MY GOSH IT'S SO F(locked)G PERFECTLY AWESOMELY EPIC.

NO WORDS CAN APTLY DESCRIBE THE WIN OF THIS CREATION. ATTEMPTING TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SEVERE AND/OR PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE.

You're still keeping on-par with the perfect execution of elements, Helmer. You actually make Fahrenheit more beautiful than in person.

Glad you like my previous post, LaMbChOpZ.

Dat . . . tho

Hooray! That looks fantastic ! It's a shame that straight spot is actually in the layout though... I feel like a whole lot of speed is lost in that transition.

[DDRman732865]

The exit of the corkscrew might need some tweaking; it'll probably be fine once you build the second one. Everything else looks phenomenal. The wrapping around of the other supports is impressive.

[Connector1o1]

Woah it looks pretty fantastic, I very much like this recreation. I can't believe it makes it through all of that, if you continue to shape and support it this nicely I think you can finish it without any other means of propulsion.

Sorry for the miny bump but I forgot to comment on this saying that this is thing out as a very nice coaster Helmur! I love the speed through each element, I think you can make it. Make sure the brake run is very realistic and works efficiently. Will you being using two trains for this, and what material did you use for that chain guide thing at the bottom of the lift, I've always wanted to make on of those before but never knew how.

[Helmut]

Absolutely stunning! Love it.

 

Thank you!

Since the last update I worked a bit more on the exit, so I hope it looks al little better now. There will be a testvideo in this update!

Thanks! That is the biggest compliment I can possibly get!

I like the enthousiasm.

Thank you! The straight spot is indeed very funky, it is a shame that they did not fit an airhill in there.

Thank you! The exit indeed started the look better once I completed the second corkscrew.

My goal is to complete this recreation without the help of boosters, and it looks like I will!

Thanks! I think I will only use one train for this, the orange one is not nearly as good as the black one. The material that has been used for the chain guide is thin flexible plastic.

Due to college construction went slower than usual the last couple of months, but I finally have the opportunity to update! The second corkscrew and turnaround are done and the train has a decent speed through every element.

I can't even nitpick anything, it's about as flawless as you can get. Will the rubber band on the front car be replaced with a more elegant solution? That's really my only complaint.

I'm impressed with the height you've been able to maintain through out the layout. Though there are not many, the elements are very speed-consuming, so I am pleased to see it clear this final turn and still have an okay height! Great work Helmer, the second corkscrew looks just as great as the first and the turn around is very smooth.

[maarten12]

I have seen this in real life, I nearly fainted by its greatness.

[Old_Hag]

This is unbelieveable...and it makes it all the way through that layout with tubes and a three car train.

[CW5X]

This is crazy. It's not a particularly easy layout to complete but you are nailing it.

[Coupe]

The pacing looks brilliant to me - amazed at the way it flows!

[JayketheKid]

This is just a beautiful coaster! Anytime I check this out, it makes me really want to build!

Thank you! Perhaps I can find a way to make the rubberband less noticeable, for example by painting it black. The rubberband itself will stay though.

Thanks! The elements are indeed very speed-consuming and it was hard to maintain speed and height during the construction of Fahrenheit. I was glad that I still had some height left for the airhill and inclined brake run.

You liar.

Thanks a lot! Yes, it really does!

Thanks! A lay-out with a Norwegian Loop, Cobra Roll and Double Corkscrew is not an easy one to complete, so I am very happy with the result!

Thanks!

After 113 days of construction I can finally say: Mission Accomplished!

Stairs have been added to the Lifthill.

The Final Video will be made soon!

 

[Jumpge]

I'm in complete awe with this recreation... I don't think it could've been pulled off better! Thank you for recreating this, haha! You did very much justice to this coaster. I cannot wait for this final video. To put it into perspective, I'm looking more forward to watching this final video than celebrating my birthday.

[Old_Hag]

This is easily among the very best recreations I've ever seen. Amazing job.

[DDRman732865]

I love all the extra detail that you put in, it really accentuates the amazing shaping you already had. I'm quite fond of the pattern of the roof in particular.

[CW5X]

So much detail and incredible shaping. The recreation is oh-so strong with this one. Great work.
