I'm back after several months of being addicted to league of legends and playing the shit out of it (prob still bronze 5 lol need to finish placements)! I decided to just do a smaller sized eurofighter, back to what i know best. I just started it up today, only have the lift and drop done. It's 3.5 grey rods tall not including the base, and I think the drop is a little steeper than how much I usually make it.

Edit: lol Why are the pictures upside down? I uploaded then the right way, they were upside down. I tried to make it upside down in the actual picture so maybe it would show up normal on here but it was still upside down. Does this have to do with me using an iphone 5?

Pretty cool to have it hanging from th ceiling

But seriously, not sure why they are upside down

Yay, FrIeDeGgS is back! Heyyy I've been having the same issue with pictures as well. I don't see anything wrong with what you have built. Also, are you going to keep the name as "Dollar Wrestler"?

Hey, welcome back from LOL! Didn't you build an SS-style coaster a while ago? Huh. That drop almost reminds me of Cannibal at Lagoon, which looks insane.

 

I'm also curious about the name...

[Dragunov!]

Well, this looks to be a fun build!

[CW5X]

That's is one nice very steep drop there. I had/have a few problems with sideways pictures from the iPads I take some of my images from. Usually paint sorts them out but it is a little annoying when it doesn't. Maybe try saving as a different file type or something if you can.

I don't own any SS sadly. I considered recreating that but then I was like nahhh. The name is just similar to eurofighter, euro = dollar, fighter = wrester. Hope you know what I mean

 

Well, this looks to be a fun build!

Thanks!

On my old computer when I transferred the pictures onto it they would appear upside down but I could rotate it and it would show up fine on the site, but it shows up normally when I transfer the pictures onto my new computer, and then upside down on the site so that kinda confuses me...

 

I'll be honest, I only started building again because the power went out for about five hours last week. I made a loop, but it looks lopsided to me even though I made both sides the same... It's a little shaky but I'll fix that by next update.

And also a video.

 

 

Anyone have any suggestions for what element to make next? I'm currently not sure.

 

Edit: I fixed the pictures being upside down when I put them on photobucket instead of just uploading them on here, so maybe its something with the site and pictures off of apple devices?

I'm surprised to see you here! You should make an inversion next. Also, the pullout after the main drop is really long, are you sure you want it to be that long?

[Spaghetti]

Pretty heckin good. I like the shaping of the loop.

[CW5X]

The loop is pretty good. I'd say the first half is smoother than the second half so if you can, you might just want to iron out that sharp spot at the support. Still, you've done a good job juggling the height, the supports and the length of the track pieces so I commend you for that.

Me too! Thanks for the advice lol. I kinda like the pullout being that long, and I considered making Cannibal but without the elevator lift but then I realized this is micro knex.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it because I was never too good with loops for some reason. I can't seem to find the sharp spot you're talking about, but it's probably just because I've been looking at it for so long. 

 

 

I've actually had this part done for a while, but I was too lazy to post it until now, too much LoL y'know... I can't recall the name of this element, but I think it was used on one of Gvus' coasters. The lighting is pretty bad, but I wanted to do it now because I probably wouldn't have gotten it done if I waited til early in the morning on a weekend for good lighting..

What do you think?

[SCM]

I have no idea what that element is, but it sure looks elegant. I think it would look better if the inclined half loop was circular and not an oval. If you want, that is.

[Muzz135]

This looks fantastic, and has great speed too! I would say the element is a crossed horseshoe roll or a tilted batwing

[K1ngdaKa88]

Looks very nice and smooth as well. I'm looking forward for the finished coaster

[dgohstand]

You did a fantastic with that element. (I have no idea what it's called) Keep working on it! 

[IOAgeek]

Looks awesome you keep speed pretty well in this element, maybe a corkscrew or barrel roll can be in the layout to come!

I'm loving how this is turning out The inversions look good.

[FrIeDeGgS]

Thanks! It probably would look better if the 2nd half went out to the left more, but oh well.

Thanks! Turns out I put both in the layout...

Yeah it is like a pretzel knot, although the middle is at an incline and not vertical.

It has been quite a long while, but I'm finally back with an update... It's been three and a half years and honestly I haven't done much with this coaster. It is mostly finished now, but there are some things I need to re-profile before I'll be satisfied with this. After what I'm calling the inclined pretzel knot, I added a MCBR, with a right-hand turn and corkscrew, then a left-hand turn into the station, and a jojo roll and some turns for the pre-lift. It's mainly the pre-lift section I'm going to be re-doing, but I might change the station too. I don't like the exit of the jojo roll that much, and the pre-lift section was made last and it's pretty clear that I was running out of pieces, which I now have more of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Video has finally finished uploading to Youtube, so here it is.

I still don't have a name for this, so any suggestions you guys have are greatly appreciated.

Coaster looks great, glad to see the nearly finished product!

 

I'm just in shock that there's an update, I thought the thread got bumped! What did you do with the ride for 3 whole years in between the last update and now??
