here are some photos. I installed the mcbr today and guess what? it actually has brakes! I tried reshaping the dive loop but i couldn't do much with the space I had. comment your opinion!

Wow, this is very much an improvement. I like the supports and the track work looks great. I like how you built the diveloop with your space and the MCBR looks sick. This looks great. Good luck on adding a final element or two and I hope you finish it off with some fire because it looks great. Keep it up.

You've done pretty well with the shaping now. Very flowing with the layout as well and hopefully you can squeeze a little more out before you're done.

The element after the loop immediately caught my eye. It looks like a combination of an immelman and a turnaround and it has a fantastic flow and shaping. You still have a decent height to work with, so hopefully you can add some cool elements to this coaster, perhaps even a corkscrew. 

[dylpickled]

I don't really like corks. I always have problems with them. but I think this one turned out decent with the space/piece I had! I'm also having trouble with the lift. I'm using 2 cars and 3 batteries for weight. it's a 12v motor with the correct adapotor but can barely lift the car. is there any special way I should use it?
side note: this is my first complete coaster!

Wow, this is a very great model. You finished it off strong and the trackwork still looks fabulous even at the end. They supports look good and congratulations on finishing your first model! Everything looks so slick and clean, great job.

thank you so much! that means a lot coming from and expirienced builder!


I forgot to mention I'm using the auto station gates from rightwaytrey.

[dylpickled]

hello! so here's a quick and final update! the name of this ride is ironworx as you know, just like the steampunk scarezone at kd. mine will feature lights, near miss elements, trees, steam, a plaza, and a station with auto gates. I hope to finish this up by next week, and the final video the following week. I'll also post some pictures of everything finished next week. anyways, here's a picture of the tunnel w/ steam!

I like the decorations and ride so far. Could you make a test video?

[frank]

wow cant wait for the final vid.

[CartRacer56]

If your still having problems with the lift, one thing you could do is gear it down. This
make the lift slightly slower, but wouldn't put as much stress on the motor. If the motor is fine but you just don't like the speed, you could gear UP the lift. This would make the lift faster but put more stress on your motor because it looses tourque when you do that.

[dylpickled]

I'm not making a final vid for this one anymore, sorry. but it is complete!

[WSWAoasters]

That's so sad to hear, but I have been there before and I completely understand. That's really great to hear that you were able to finish everything though! Maybe you can get some pics? Nice job!

I'll probably upload it into the database and some final pictures tonight.

[Maxlaam]

[dylpickled]

That's an awesome little coaster you've got there - well done!
