Well as you all may have seen in the Upcoming model

section, I am making a new coaster! As of now I have the lift, turn, drop and the

slope back up to the next hill! I should be working on it more tonite and I will

have a construction picture up then! So stay tuned!!

Well, I now have a picture to show you! But

after that hill I have no idea what it is going to do! I may make it do a swooping

drop, or I may make it do a turn like after the lift and then do a swooping drop!

WHO KNOW?????????

Ya, I could fit a barrel roll in there, but I do not want

this coaster to have any inversions. So after that hill I made a swooping drop!

Here is a pic! :D

You should make the swooping drop turn all the way

around so it will end up travelling parrellel with the lift hill on right side o the lift hill so

it will be very compact! Then add another hill.

Sixflagsfreak- Thanks! I just hope I can finish it

cuz I am nost sure if I will run out of supports! But if I do I will most likely tear

down Oasis! HAHAHH!! Just Kidding! But if I do run

out of pieces I will prolly buy anotehr SS off of ebay :D or I might just buy a

trampoline tower or BBF...not sure.....the world may never know!!

Westside7th- The swooping hill will most likely go down parralel to the lift and

then do a hill or something like that, I am just not sure if I will have enough

pieces! But I do like your models in the gallery! Atleast I am not the only

one uploading now! :D

It's awsome! I'm loving it! Once

you start a project, you just move on over to the next one! Very nice!

Can't wait to see it finished! B)

If you are low on supports, take off some of those grey

rods that are bracing the supports at the bottom of the first hill. You don't need

to use that many.

When I say I am running low on supports I dont mean

the rods, I have plenty of those, I just run low on the blue and purple connectors

:(

you could put a yellow connecter then put a rod

through that and then put the things on the end
like this

Yes, I know, but I would rather have it really sturdy.

Also, Rctyrant said to post the construction pics in the gallery, but when I take pics

with my digi cam and try to upload them there they are too big. So how do I resize

them?

If you have a graphics program, you can go into it,

open the picture, and probably somewhere there is a function to resize the

picture.....

Do you mean too big as in pixels or size? The pics I

took on my digi camera were to big in size. I have a JPG converter program that

converts the files to smaller sizes so I can upload them.

Go to <a

href='http://atlantic.phot...com=arcsoftBann

er&awp=index3.html&DIRECT=show' target='_blank'>Photo Island</a>that is

where I downloaded the free converter. When you upload your pics, it should resize

them if they are too big. Then it will let you open them in a nother window.
