I have completed the construction of my first coaster,
LEGION. It is a sit-down coaster using only
one set with one inversion. The elements of the coaster go as follows:
1. 36 inch tall lift hill.
2. 34 inch drop with an 8 inch verticle
segment.
3. 13 inch half loop left.
4. Half inline twist
(zero-g roll)
5. Overbank turn into 270 degree helix, then it goes around
again.
It is not an amazing coaster but it is only my first. I was just glad it
worked!!!
BTW, my camera is awful so please
don't make any comments about how bad the photos are.
Also, can
anyone guess why I named it LEGION?

It looks good! 
I like the Helix
best!
The loop looks a little small though.

The loop started out as a cobra roll, and I gave up on
that quickly and changed it to a loop in line twist thingy. The coaster barely has enough
speed to get around because I wasn't originally going to include the helix but it
looked too short so I added it. The helix was easily the most difficult part to make ( I
think that may be an oxymoron), I had to remake it several times to get it to work.
The chainlift is the same as the original ss but I changed the drop.
Anyone know why I named it, it has to do with the bible...

um that Immelman counts as 1 inversion and
an overbank is indeed not an inversion

Rebuilt. Rehashed. Refined.

Anyone
know why I named it, it has to do with the bible...
A man in the Bible was
possessed by a group of demons called Legion until Jesus cast them into a herd of
swine and they went into the sea. Is that it?
Oh yeah, your coaster looks
pretty awesome. That's a very creative layout and very impressive for only
using one set.
