Hey guys how is everyone?.  I hope your all safe out their, since my state and my town are on lock down for nearly 12 weeks I have started a new inverted steel coaster that goes with the theme of being locked down.  It is inspired by Aviator by Rollercoasterfanatic919 and Challenger by Antinos aka RollerDude I have the lift hill done next will be the drop and inversions.

You know, those panels that come with the SS set say 'the point of no return". It looks like you're already doing some some of the themeing already: yellow supports and blue X-ties. Yellow and blue just like the alcoholic drink. 



I'm not done building yet.

Hi guys I just wanted to let you all know i’m doing ok. I’ve just had a lot going on with keeping up with my job and my family during these hard times. I have took my time and rebuilt the vitrtical loop amd zero G roll and a new lift hill. I pray every one in the SScoasters community is safe.

^Agreed. The loop look WAY better now. Also, looks like you made everything higher. You have a longer layout in mind now?

Like the others have said, the loop looks great now! Are you going for a bit of a Batman start here? With the turning drop, loop, and zero g roll and everything being elevated, my mind instantly thinks of that. I feel like the entrance into the zero g roll could be steeper, though.

I know it’s been a while an a lot has changed. The vertical loop was the last pick I posted. But now i have gotten a lot further I now have a dive loop and small zero g roll. I tried to copy the coaster dynamix Scorpion modle. Right now i’m testing it without the chain and so far so good it makes it to the zero g roll. Going to try amd finish it off with a helix back into the station. Please feel free to comment.

I was just about to ask the same question. Does the train make it? 

 

Appart from that, it all looks good to me!

The dive loop looks a little jolty - it should be a bit more rounded in my opinion

Fixed the height of the lift, steeper drop and fixed as much as i could on the inversion. Again suggetions are welcomed.

Hi! I would just suggest that the first drop looks quite a bit larger now than the apex of the loop. I think you'll have no problem making that loop, but I don't think it's quite as realistic as it could be. Average speed loss per element on a larger size coaster is about 4-6 inches.
