I don't think I've touched knex in about a year, high school and sports practice for 2-6 hours every day kind of gets in the way.
But anyways,
I'm working on a new project, right now it has a loop. I'm planning on trying to add a cobra roll after it. My shaping isn't perfect, but I think I've done a solid job so far. Let me know what you think.
you think you could get more height out of the loop if you made the valley less tight between the drop and the loop cause I think there is some speed loss from that. The loop may be a little to clothoid, but that could just be the angle of the picture idk?
I remember having a dream at some point with a coaster that looked a lot like this. I could only see it from a distance but that first drop is familiar.

I like it! Kinda reminds me of one of Cowmans coaster projects he did a while ago.
Thanks!

I made some adjustments to the loop, nothing really major. The loop is a little bit thin but i kinda like it that way too. We'll see. Thanks for the tips

Thanks!
The drop itself looks like an inversion. Cool design!
Yep! I've been wanting to build this coaster for a while, the idea of this drop has always entertained me.
I think Its great.
You should make the path go around the lift hill and go through the loop.
Thanks! Right now it's not gonna go through the loop, but tell me what you think.

Well, at first I didn't have time to work on this coaster for a week or two, but then I built a ton the past two days, and I plan on finishing it today or tomorrow.
I've made very small tweaks to the loop and drop, adding a few more small supports. I've built a cobra roll that is a tad bit small but probably the best I can do as I rebuilt it about four times. Then it climbs a small hill and does kind of a half helix into a small drop into a corkscrew. After that I have planned a highly banked turn into another corkscrew into the station. Tell me what you guys think:
I like the layout a lot and hope you have enough speed for the ending! Is it possible to bank the middle of the cobra roll a little less, or is it real hard with the track spine and such?
This is a great little thing. I can tell you've put a lot of effort into it. It doesn't shake at all.

I really like those two corkscrews at the end - hopefully you have enough momentum at the end to do that.
Since you're using a base, may I recommend adding a tunnel?
Thanks! I spent a lot of time on this, I really wanted to make this perfect. I didn't end up having enough momentum though . I did not add a tunnel either :/.

Thanks! I ended up not having enough speed, but it still turned out well. It's tough to change the cobra roll especially with micro track.

Thank you! Yes I put in a ton of time.

The Demon is completed now! here is the youtube video:
Very good video. Maybe next time, I would cut the clips a little earlier as to not show the shaking of the camera when you stop but the rest was great. I loved the music.
