I think the straight drop looks sweet, even though they're easier to build. Your half loop looks nice but I doubt that you will be able to do your layout you want.

Well that's a 6.5 grey rod tall half loop so there will be plenty of speed coming out of it

[knex-man]

The first half loop looks incredible(!!!!!)

Here's half the immelman done, pretty much all the hard stuff. Took me 5 hours to get it just the way I like it. Everything is solid as a rock. I want to get all the opinions comments and suggestions I can get for any alternate layouts and if you think the immelman needs improvement anywhere.

It looks good, even though it starts banking at the top.
This gives me inspiration for my own immelmann.

[knex-man]

That makes me want to build an immelman for my next coaster.

[CP-ephY]

can I get some more opinions here?

[imakecoasters]

Ok.

Woah! That's big! Does it break any records. I'm sure the zero G roll will.

Looks very smooth, and very strong. I love it. Don't notice one bump, although there may be one in there.

You'll have alot of speed from that drop. Hopefully everything goes good with this, :tmbs !

One word : WOW. Incredibly shaped and smooth. Nice

[Zorn]

Wow that really good! Very smooth too! Good luck with the rest of the coaster!

[rollercoasterdan]

Hmmm, the banking could end a little sooner, but otherwise its near perfect. Great job ephy, you are definately one of the better builders on the site...

i think the immelman's pullout is too high off of the ground... it looks out of proportion

[knex-man]

It's smooth;
It's big;
It's beautiful;
It's minebuster!!

[CP-ephY]

Your right nyteflyte. I just checked out some immelman pics and they all go down to the ground. So I changed it. I think it looks way better.

ugh, I loved it before!
The high pullup added a bit of dimension to the ride, now it's just the same as everything else. No harm intended, just un-original.

No worries you will see what I have planned for later. Next up a c-roll followed by a very sexy turn that goes over the bottom of the first drop and down under the supports into an element which you all know but I dont think anyone has done yet..any guesses?:durh

[Jesperdude]

sounds good, I don't really care that the high pullup has been lowed, in fact, it makes more speed now. Great job.

That pullout looks too enormous for the size of that element...I'd fix that before you move on

Notice the same massive pullout..(pullin in this case it's a dive loop)
