Please vote on which you would like to see most.

I'll build all of these eventually, and will build by the amount of votes per

rollercoaster. Fireball is almost done, so get ready for a people's choice

rollercoaster!

I would say compact. Superman T:E is really easy,

even if it were huge. TTD has been done A LOT, and a compact would be

awesome! Try Jokers Jinx! That would be AWESOME!

As I said earlier...everything will be done at some

time. I'll let you guys vote for, oh, say, a few days...depending on when I finish

fireball and when I feel like building again...which wont take long.

I finished the cobra roll. It took some work to get

the second half corkscrew to look the same as the first one, but i think i did a good job.

The ss car flies through the cobra roll. It just needs a little bit of speed coming into

the first cork. Enough with the words, pictures say thousands of 'em.

Man, that looks shweet. Whenever I try to build one

it's always weird, and it doesn't work.

adam-you just have to give the car enough room to go

from upside down to normal again...it just takes time. Build one side...make sure it

works...then if it doesnt work...play with it. Turn the crossties so they're at an

angle....whatever it takes. If nothing still happens...you'll have to modify the

structure.

Im starting on the immelman. A very small amount of the

supports are done. Pics will be here today or tomorrow....whenever i finish it...

ok...i FINISHED THE IMMELMAN! its

basically just a copy of the first half of the cobra roll. I added a booster cuz i really

doubt that the train would have enough speed...unless it went really fast through the

cobra roll. It completes the immelman with speed to spare!

I love the cobra roll but I don't like how the

immelman is identical to the cobra roll inversions and how it uses the same support

structure as the cobra roll. I think it looks cramped.

well....that seems to me what it is in real

life.....although i have never ridden it...the immelman pullout looks pretty close to the

middle of the cobra roll
http://rcdb.com/inst...4.htm?Picture=5

or is it

not like that in real life? i really had no choice...i dont want a huge straightaway....that

would take away from the realism....

In the pics from rcdb.com, the immelman is smaller

then the cobra roll, therefore, the pullout is lower and not on the same level as the

cobra roll. I don't like how your immelman is identical to the cobra roll. I would

make it either smaller or larger. Since you have a booster there, I would assume you

could make it larger.
