Hey everyone,

 

Long time no see. I started work on this coaster last August and moved back into my parents' house and the coaster came with. I think this is the first custom looper that I've made and I've decided to use blue-box supports.

 

The structure isn't final, and I have to make adjustments for the swaying of the elements. Feel free to guess on the layout, but keep in mind I'm probably 75% of the way done already ;) I'm just releasing updates slowly as I catch up in piecing this thing back together.

Love the look of the blue rod box supports on this even if they change a bit. The shaping looks very smooth and flowing. A very nice coaster incoming.

Oh, cool, blue box supports! I've noticed some sharp and straight spots on the c-roll and I've edited one of the images. 

Here's a suggestion for the shape of the c-roll based on the size of the pullout:

I've also noticed how you're not using grey rods on the track. I don't know if this coaster would necessarily need grey rods on the track, but if there's any speed issues, replacing the flexis with grey rods (except for the top of inversions) would be advisable. 
Edit: I know you're probably just about done at this point, but I thought I'd say this anyway. ;)
