Okay, I've only made one model with CoasterDynamix, the Scorpion, and I have 2 of them, so I am going to make something basic. It will lift and drop like the Scorpion does (similar supports, same drop) and then go into a roll I've never seen before, I'm starting tomorrow after school. The roll will look like an X from the side, it is like the twist into the loop in the Scorpion but backwards, with different supports, but twice right next to each other. Then it will go into a C-Roll and back to the lift. I guess that basic. lol.

I don't really understand your description of the inversion. It's nice to finally see another CoasterDynamix model. (Too bad I don't have a set)

[Black Mamba]

I wanna have some CoasterDynamix set too, anyway...
I like too see a new model on this site

[KNexCoasterCreator]

Update with pics, the first inversion didn't turn out like I'd planned, I change it up a little and it still looks pretty cool. Check out the pics.

Yikes...talk about painful.

[KNexCoasterCreator]

^You never have anything nice to say about me. It's my first coaster bro, leave it alone. If you want to criticize, ok, don't just come in and make uselss posts. Thanks...
P.S. the drop looks bad bc the yellow track is bent from being put into one of the track holder things.

Well, I see what your going for, but I must admit ^^he's right. It looks ok, but it could look 100x better if you made it around twice as high.
But it is your 1st (1st? your 1st post said you've already made one. w/e) coaster so it's what you want it to be. but he's just saying it could be better.

[KNexCoasterCreator]

its my first custom, I only made theScorpion with instructions, so I don't count that.

[TwistedDreams]

^Well you should, instructoins teach you(and everyone else) 90% of how to build coasters. Size relevation, support styles, ect. ect.
anyway, good luck w/ the rest of the coaster.

The immelman looks like someone squished it. You should either make it taller, or take out the straight section after the drop. Good job though. If I made something out of CoasterDynamix, it would probably turn out worse.

[Black Mamba]

Make the immelman higher and the next element a bit lower because it looks weird...

[coastercrazy10]

I also vote for a higher immelman and i would also like to see the twist go the other way. The way you have it would be mighty painful or very boring. I like the element after the immelman though.

Make it way higher. Remember, this isn't knex. This is CD. Build the elements tall. You will have a longer coaster.

I also noticed a small bump in the track. However, it might just be the angle of the picture.

[Black Mamba]

I also see a bump. Its on the first picture. Look at the first drop.

[coastergeekrtc]

Yea, the drop seems to have a bump half way up, and pullout is bumpy. Also, the shaping is off. The pullout is long and relatively level, then it cuts to a sharp inversion...

[zapa]

He said that the drop had a bump half way down because:

the drop looks bad bc the yellow track is bent from being put into one of the track holder things.

I'm not sure if he has fixed it or knows how to...

[KNexCoasterCreator]

I am going to finish this coaster, and fix the bump and inversion, but it is on hold right now, because I am trying to make a floorless roller coaster train. I had a good method, it was workin' great...until I burned my hand, lol.

[Black Mamba]

A Floorless Coaster Dynamix coaster will rock but ive got one question...
How did you burned youre hand? LoL

[KNexCoasterCreator]

I was melting the plastic, and forming it with toothpicks, the toothpickcaught on fire cuz there was a fire inside the plastic, I don't suggest trying that. I'm going to try something new, and I'll definitely post pics and a tutorial.
