super cool, to be finished in 2022?    just kidding, hope you can get it done, looks awesome!!!  one question though, is that your own flat / house? or just a spare room that your parents dont mind you taking over with your knex lol. i used to have a knex room ay my grandparents when i was about 10 or 11 back in 2008 ish, but since have moved with my mother and brother into a 3 bed flat, so my room is the only space i have to build

Lol, I love when I get a weird sense of deja vu. Then I check the dates on the updates and realize I'm not going crazy! The pacing on this is incredible. I hope there's a lot more to the layout coming, but also that you can finish it soon-ish.

This was off to a great start, so it's good to see you're still working on it!

The shaping is so good.  Glad you're back to working on this.  Hopefully the end is more interesting than GateKeeper :-P

Like others, I'm glad to see you working on this beast again! It has such a unique layout, so I have been hoping the project wasn't scrapped.

Haha nah this coaster was completed over a year ago, I just forgot to upload the last updates for it. Yeah that's a bonus room in my parents house that I use to build my coasters in for over a decade, its pretty big imo!

Thank you, I really like the pacing of the train throughout the layout as well, and I hope you like the last elements in this update.

Thanks, just thought this was the best use of elements for the space I had to work with.

Haha I think it will and thank you, it took a few tries for the zero g roll but I think I finally got it right.

I would never scrap this coaster after all the time and effort I have put into it so far!
 

 

Alright the layout is all completed now and ready for the final video which should be out in a few days. After the zero g roll I added a high speed turn that is followed by a corkscrew, then a slow wave turn to the right before the train dives down into an in-line twist followed by a bunny hill before it hits the final brakes! The in-line twist turned out great imo and I something I thought would be very cool to incorporate into the layout. I'm not sure if the layout is long enough but I was running out of speed fast and it could be from the wing coaster trains being used, but the ride is over 10 seconds from drop to brakes so that is pretty good still. Hope you enjoy the pictures and complete circuit video.

nice!!! cant wait for the video, wish i had a space this big, you can see how small the space i have is on my rmc im building lol

[CrayCray for coasters]

this is awesome, did you use bearings?

[RCT2123]

Really great stuff.  Love the pop of airtime at the end.  

[FrIeDeGgS]

Great build! I like that slow upwards twist a lot.

[Britfag]

I really like it, the height of the elements is perfect to get as much out of it as you can!

[Steelwheels33]

This is a really awesome ride. You have inspired me to not only be a better layout planner but also to set a higher standard for shaping. Not only that but I'm inspired to buy more pieces too lol. Love it!

[rgarner42]

Fantastic coaster. Great pacing, definitely one of your best.

Thanks! Yeah its a pretty big space to build a coaster, wish I had more to make larger layout without them all being compact.

 

this is awesome, did you use bearings?

No I just use the plastic wheels that come in the trains. I keep them clean and well maintained so they can last a long time. Don't think I would replace them as that would be difficult.

 

Really great stuff.  Love the pop of airtime at the end.  

Thank you, yeah I thought that would be a cool element to end with before the brake fun!

 

Great build! I like that slow upwards twist a lot.

Haha same here, all wing coasters have one so I thought where could I add one to this layout.

 

I really like it, the height of the elements is perfect to get as much out of it as you can!

Yeah I tried to get as much height as I could with each element to make it as realistic as possible and get a longer layout using these wing coaster trains.

 

This is a really awesome ride. You have inspired me to not only be a better layout planner but also to set a higher standard for shaping. Not only that but I'm inspired to buy more pieces too lol. Love it!

That's awesome, just take your time with each element and redo areas that need reshaping or are not smooth. Then go back and support the element before you test it!

 

Fantastic coaster. Great pacing, definitely one of your best. 

Thank you! I think its one of my best shapping wise. It was a fun coaster to build.

 

 

Here is the final video for Sylph. I had a great time building this coaster! Hope you guys enjoy the final video and stayed tuned for my next coaster coming soon!

[Britfag]

I am very tuned.

 

Wicked ride!!!

[FrIeDeGgS]

Awesome, very aesthetically pleasing coaster! I do hope to see you building again.

[CrayCray for coasters]

i always thought a wave turn was when  the train banks 90 degrees and goes on an outerbank turn, like on lightning rod

[Muzz135]

Fantastic coaster, really well done! You see so few wing coasters cause they’re so hard to pull off which just makes this One extra special! Can’t wait to see what’s next
