Looks good! I think you should do a loop after this, then a turn and a mid course brake run through the lift, which could have a fast moving chain and be slanted slightlty upward for more speed, then some corkscrews.

EDIT: I took a long time typing that, lol. Looks like you already have a layout, but if you need more speed I think a MCBR would be cool.

Alright I fixed it once and for all. It's in the middle of the previous two pictures. Not too big and not too small.

I think it looks good, although I never really had a problem with either of the previous ones.

[knex-man]

^Me too, I like all the versions.

[smallish]

Might just be the angle, but there's a straight spot between the pull up and twist.

[CP-ephY]

Yea that';s supposed to be like that. It looks like it's unbanked there, but that part is the transition from banked to unbanked so it has to be nice and straight. Then comes the pullout. It's also because it's not as high as it was before so the length of that segment is longer.

[CP-ephY]

Decided I didn;t like the straight part now I fixed it for good and I'm serious. Now that it's raised off the ground I'm going to do a zero-g-roll instead. Expect an update tomorrow.

This is definitely one of the tougher elements to build. The twist section is not supported yet so if you think the shape needs to be changed at all it can still be done. I know the top looks a bit pointy but that's because the rest of it is sagging and pulling it down since I didnt put supports yet. I want to get a bunch of opinions here before I support it and do the second half.

I think it needs to be less steep and heartlined a bit more...Otherwise it is extremely smooth...

[Antinos]

He just needs to add supports and it should be perfect. We will find out soon!

[lilmikemarin]

I don't like the strait part right before it starts to curve.

[CP-ephY]

Picky picky..I think if I do the other half of this I'll run out of room so I am going to turn it into a revolution roll meaning the other half is a half corkscrew. Also there is supposed to be a straight part, look at pics of kumba and dragon khan. Your right about the steepness, but I wanted to go for a different look at the same time. This part is done. I was thinking of doing a c-roll next but I'm really not sure how tall to make it. It barely goes through the top of this zerog. Mainly I wanted to get in an inclined loop as my secret element. So...do the math.

After the revolution roll, you could do an inclined loop, into a low heartline (like on maverick), and then a couple corks and turns.

[KNexCoasterCreator]

That looks really good from there, but can we get a POV?

[lilmikemarin]

This coaster would pwn if it had interlocking corcks! Its still good though. I would do a c-roll. Looks very much like a B&M looper or floorlish.

[fantom]

^^Haven't heard from you in a while.
I think after this you should make an inclined loop followed by a 180* spiral into a brake run, which drops into a cork and a heartline before returning to the station.

[CP-ephY]

heres the pov. I think I'm going to try a c-roll into a 180 degree turn into the inclined loop. Then well see what happens. I just think a c-roll gives a coaster a great look to it.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. There *might* be a bump looking at the POV, but don't make a change. I'm sure that's just the angle.

[CP-ephY]

From the start of the twist it shifts to the right to keep the heartline

[RCT2123]

I still think it could be heartlined a bit more but otherwise it looks great...I do also love the c-roll it adds such a good feel to a coaster...

BTW...700th post!!
