The zero-g roll is probably just like the length of the hill, but one inversion just looks dumb. I think the hill will look best.

I just have 12 feet for a camelback.... So it has to be tall (thus a bunnyHOP), or low (realistic, but very small).

[Antinos]

Just do the worlds tallest loop. That will give you lots of space for brakes and you can add brakes on the down side of the loop.

^He already has it...the deformed on on Sher Khan...lol

He he he, yeah, that one sucked very badly.
Okay, a huge loop is possible. How tall can it be? Could someone draw a sketch, so I can see how much space is will take.

I would say make it half as high as the top hat. That way it will look like it is in preportion with the rest of the ride.

[Jogumpie]

Okay, I'll be planning on a 10 feet loop. It will be Vekoma style (or Arrow, anyway, it won't be circular like on Sher Khan).
After the loop will be space for brakes, 6 feet of track.

[Antinos]

That sounds great! You can do brakes on the loop too.

[Jogumpie]

I'm still not sure whether I'll build a loop or not. I'll see after building the whole tower.
I've been visiting de Efteling many times these days, but now I decided to get building again.
To "save space" I broke the big pieces in smaller pieces. Currently I'm working on another big piece.

EDIT
Unfortunately the construction pictures got lost over the years.

Hey jogumpie that looks cool man! But a 13 ft pull out is a littlebit to high.. Make it 8 feet or something like that.. that would be good too.. But good job!!

[Jogumpie]

Tomorrow in the evening I'll have an interview with a local newspaper. Pictures will be shot too, probably. When the article has been published, I'll scan it and translate it.

[coastercrazy10]

saweet. Good luck with that!

Hey Jogumpie, any updates?

[Jogumpie]

Not very much...
I assembled the small pieces into big pieces, had an interview and got sick.
Now I still have to build the pull-up(out) structure, but my room is full-up...
It's getting very irritating, but I'm not cancelling this world record.

[pkiknex25]

^Yeah! You better not cancel it! (J/K) Try to see if you can store it in your basement or something.

[Jogumpie]

We don't have a basement ^^U Looks like I have to clean my whole room

Anyway, here are some pix of the current state of the pieces.

Great inline twist. This thing is going to be BIG! I wouldn't be suprised if you run out of pieces. I can't wait to see this.

[Westside7th]

Wow! Are you sure the rubberbands will be able to get the train up that high?

[TwistedDreams]

^ribber bands can get a car VERY VERY High!
as long as the the pull up/out supports are Very sturdy.

[Jogumpie]

The twist was very important to me, since many newbies try to build a TTD/KK replica, with an awful twist. It took a long time
Rubberbands can get it really high. A 7 feet launch track can get one car up to 17 feet... so a 14 feet launch track should be capable of getting some cars up to 25 feet.
