Hello Everyone!

 

As you can tell by the horrible quality of my coaster, I am new here!

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I own 2 Rippin' Rockets, 2 Screamin' Serpents, some ect. parts, and a lot of micros I'm planning to sell.

 

This first coaster was not supported well because it was for a science project, and the taller it is the more attention it is going to get.

 

From now on my coasters will be better.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Tell me if this works or not.)

 

 

 

I will get better photos soon, all the stuff I have now shows my face.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey, you've got to upload the video to internet through a service like YouTube. Photos you can attach directly to the forum.

Oh wow, that is OddlyCreative  ;). That pullout is much too tight, and you're going to lose a lot of speed. You should also work on having your X-ties more evenly-spaced, and now would be a good time to talk about layering. I'll be right back.

Shown here is a way you can save speed by prolonging the pullout. What is also shown is layering. It's great for smoother track, and, if nothing else, it'll save you tons of orange connectors.

You've got some strait spots in the track that may cause problems in the future of the build. I agree with SCM with how you should extend that pullout.

I have to say though that this looks real interesting. I don't see full on LOOPS at the top of hill. You've definitely peaked my interest and I can't wait to see more!

Best of luck, fellow newb. ;)

No one's commented on this yet so.... looks pretty good. I would say something about the pullout, but that's an awfully small space, so the small pullout is okay. Are you going to be extending the track or will you leave it as is for a demonstration? Keep an eye on that hammer. ;)

No, I was just demonstrating the launch for my project. It's taken apart now. Probably going to use the launch for a new project (not for just demonstrating)
