I will post here now because I have begin building the

model. I have the lift hill complete and am beginning the 80 degree drop. so far it

looks really realistic. I am still using the same picture as a refrence. <img

Don't forget the small bunny hill just before the

last overbank. It's tough to see in that picture.

[live4bb21]

thx for the reminder, the only reason i knew it was

there was because i did the POV on cedar points website lol

I have about

half the drop completed... it is as clse to an 80 degree angle as i can get if not exact.

[Shockwaver]

well its actually 85 degrees, dont forget to overbank at

135 degrees and dont make it as high as the 3rd hill rember 310 130 sompm

140?sompm i think it was 135 and 157? im not sure... where r u building it cuz thats a

BIG coaster...

Well, its actually 80 degrees,

and the banking is 122 degrees.....

As for the hill hieght, he can follow that

if he wants it to look nice, but to have it run you really would need to reduce the size

of the hills to make it work......

[Shockwaver]

ok, but still if its 8 ft. almost the hill would probably be 4

1/2 i think it would make it, cuz its not that bad. add some weight. that helps, just add

more supports and it will be fine, just dont have like 2 foot gaps inbetween places you

connect the track to the supports.

[live4bb21]

there are 6 huge tower supports from the base of the

lift hill to the bottom of the drop... the thing is that they are evenly spaced so that it

looks right and is very strong. it is definatly the most realistic coaster i have built to

date.

the next challenge is the 122 degree overbanked curve, this one will

be fun.

possible peice shortage... i'll try wo work around it though

[coasterfreak11]

hmmm...howd i know..you would either run out of

pieces or just give up...

[CostaKid]

OverbankIf you are having trouble with the overbank, look at

this guys. It might help.

[live4bb21]

if I run out of pieces i will just order more... simple as

that, but i'll try to work around that. if anything is a problem its space, but to

solve that i'll move it outside if i have to. I will get this model build unless there

is some unforseen event.

after a brief delay in building i have begun the

first overbank turn

the overbanked turn is starting to shape now, and its

liiking nice i might add

homestar?

[joshg678]

wow, sounds great, but do some screen shots of

what u got. I wanna see.

[live4bb21]

i took down Millenium Force to make superman

ultimate flight

[coasterfreak11]

Wow..I am soo smart!! How would I ever

guess that you would not finish it! Oh well...I like Superman Uf also!

[live4bb21]

it wasnt that i couldnt build it its just i had no where to

build it. i cant go outside in florida in summer because it rains every day, and the

rooms are all to small with the furniture in them. However my S.U.F is coming along

much nicer than the Millenium Force was. I think I made the right decision on making

the S.U.F because it will be an awesome recreation

[joshg678]

ogm, does any one ever finish anything here.

[live4bb21]

yeah check my post for my S.U.F i update it several

times daily

this model will definately be finished... it already has the station, lift

(which is new technology featuring a chain that stops before the bend at the top of the

lift and does not touch the floor, and the banked drop whch is perfectly angled and

bent to make it realistic.

[joshg678]

well thats, well ok.
