After a strangely ordinary B&M giga coaster from me, I knew I had to do something extremely crazy. So...the old Old Hag is back, I guess.

 

 

 

 

 

In the last picture, you can see a couple spots that I need to touch up, but I am very very satisfied with this drop overall.

Oh yeah. I've been waiting for this. Hooray for craziness.

[CartRacer56]

Oh yes, that is the Old_Hag building style we all have come to know and love. Can't wait for this build!

Classic hag... Can't wait to see what epic elements go along on this ride!

[Connector1o1]

This looks fantastic, I really like the uniqueness of your builds. They are always exquisite.
It's making me wish I hadn't put my K'nex away.

You have the most unique style when in comes to drops. I love it!

[dylpickled]

Wahoo! I've been waiting for a new build ! I can't wait to see what elements you have planned for this. By the way, I absolutely love your style!

That has to be one of the funkiest drops I have ever seen! Apart from the sharp spots that you had already pointed out yourself, the shaping of the drop looks fantastic. It is good to see you building again Old Hag! 

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I've been waiting for you to start construction on this! That drop is a perfect representation of your building style, which is becoming one of my favorites on SSC.

Looks very interesting! I will definitely follow this thread 

[IOAgeek]

Wow this looks awesome! Can u make the train four or five cars though and support the track a bit more to save some speed for the elements.

 

I see a granite rod missing in the first picture btw!

Oh man, that looks pretty cool.

[rgarner42]

This looks fantastic, I'm a fan of your crazy building style  

[Old_Hag]

Well, I tried to reply to you all, but apparently there's a limit to the number of quotes I can put into one post. So, to sum it up, thanks for you comments! Now, I'll talk about the next element. Initially it was going to be an Immelmann, but that didn't really work out so well the first time I attempted to build it. I decided to go with a plain vertical loop. For some reason, I thought something so simple just looked really nice after the crazy drop. I was able to get a bit more height than I expected out of the loop too. Here are some pictures:

Looks good, but I feel it's a little too circular..

[+Timmeh+]

I like it. I think you should do this element next, but sort of angle it so it doesn't overlap itself, I think it would fit nicely :3

I dissagree with dylpickled; I really like how circular it is. Also, the rest of the coaster is fantastic! I really love unique builds like this one.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

That's some ridiculous speed preservation. I sort of like how circular the loop is, and it's cool how close it is to the lift hill, so that even the bottom of the lift is surrounded by track. But the top definitely looks a bit flat in that 2nd photo.

[Rollerfreak987]

It's actually perfect in my opinion. It may be a bit too circular, but it looks fine.

Love the little curve you put in before the loop. I really like it for some reason.
