I am working on a woodie, but I am not really sure whether the top of the lifthill is right or not.

I used a picture of CC10 as reference (well, after I built mine) and they look quite the same.









Now... is mine good or not? I am not really sure myself.

Are you asking if it looks good?

[KoasterKrazy]

I think it looks good and will work good

[Jogumpie]

Are you asking if it looks good?

Yes.

But I just got the advice to stretch it a bit more, so the actual top is less pointy.

[Top Thrill Dragster Freak]

To me, it looks just a bit pointy, but if it works for you, it sure will work for me.

Its too pointy. Lower it or stretch it out.

[Jogumpie]

Stretched it.

Jogumpie, i think you must make it more like this because i think this would be better

[Jogumpie]

I don't think so.
It would cause a bump, because it would go from horizontal to vertical to fast.
I'll post an exact sideview picture.

His pic looks like the angle of descent is the same as the angle of inclination, which doesn't look too great and isn't realistic either.

[Spinout]

Ya, I would make the drop steeper.

[Jogumpie]

The drop will be steeper, but I don't want a straight drop, so I let it go steeper gradually. This is just the top of the hill.

[knexbuilder]

i also agree that it looks too melow, but when u build more on it should look alot steeper.

[zapa]

I'd say to continue, and post more pics when you are farther along.

[Antinos]

I think the lift looks good. The drop is fine. You just don't have anything on it.

[Jogumpie]

*BUMP*
The steepest point of the drop has been reached.
Its angle is 65*.
Here's a pic (no sideview):

Well I think it is absolutly beautiful and it has the perfect anticipation and stretch that a woodie has. also, how long will this coaster be? and will it be an out and back or twister? either way it's looking beautifull. are you already out of connectors? cause your using white circles...

EDIT: hey, I see a part of Olympus! that's the name right, I don't want to sound stupid...

[Jogumpie]

It will be an out-and-back coaster, but the 180 turn will be kind of twisty... if everything goes right.
I am using white circles because all of the 3d connectors (with the original colour I mean) are in Python.
And it's not Olympus, it's Python waiting for its setup.
