No name for now. Somthing I just started a while ago. It will be modeled after FtFL. I don't know if it will be cars though... I'll just build and see what happends.

Also, I slipped the bank by making a pole up the lift/launch, and connecting it to the track and bending the track around it (sounds like a lot of work but its not), and i think it came out good.
Pics and a Vid:

That launch speed is exactly like mine! Lol, it's good to know that someone one inspired by me,lol.

The heartlining on this is great! Looks alot like my stengel dive on my looper, exactly, which means good.

Can't wait for more constructrion, and FINISH this one, please!

Looks good so far. Heartline is good, and thats pretty much all to say. Seriously, FINISH IT!!!

I think it would look better with a bigger turn on top. The train has enough speed for it and it will look better in the long run (IMO)

I'm not a big fan of boosters, but in assocation with this lift i like it a lot.
as ^ said, the turn could be much bigger (and higher). The rest looks good.

Yeah it could be bigger, stretched out, higher, ect. But I just did a ton of work and it looks awsome. Also, no promises this'll be finished, I have a lot going on these days.
Bassically I built a drop about half way to the ground, parrallel to the lift, and then made a 90* banked turn to the left over the lift. The rest of the layout is a surprise. I have the next 2-3 elements layed out.
You'll all enjoy this one.
picsas maybe tonight....

[jellymann07]

can you host the images somewhere else or just the overview so i can see it

[TwistedDreams]

I took out the turn... It was ugly. I built a half loop, but I don't know what to do. I assure you that it will be sweet. Photos when I get inspired...

[pkiknex25]

I think a cobra roll would be perfect there. Have it go to the left (from a onlookers POV), and have a big half loop going down to ground level. It may look wierd, but that is probably the best solution for it. Unless if you want to stay on the desk for a while, then do normal loop. I can't wait for pics on this.

[TwistedDreams]

^I may get pics today (probably), and if not I will try very hard tomorow.
I have an idea, so give me a little to build it and see if it'll work.

[TwistedDreams]

So sorry guys, I went to fright fest and spent the night and the next whole day (sunday) at my friends house. I'm working on an immleman-type thing that should be pretty freakin sweet.
Updates probably saturday.
(FYI, I got home from football at 6:45, so yeah... not to much spare time in the life of alex.)

^ Your J.V football season still isn't over. How many games do you guys play!
Never mind you guys started school later than us. Anyway can't wait for pics

[RCT2123]

^Right football ended a week ago at my school...

Sounds good, can't wait for them pics...

[KNexCoasterCreator]

My season has 3 games left (freshman)

[TwistedDreams]

Uh, I have 15 more days in pads, two games, our bi-week, and our cheesy foot-hill league championship t-shirts:tmbs.
Possibly pics tonight of the station. We'll see... It's a frikin awsome station. My best yet, and great for it's size.

[TwistedDreams]

Holy crap. I've been so freakin lazy about updates, but I've been building a lot.
Check out the pics:











I hope you all can understand how I'm making my heartline roll. It work very well. The green cross-ties are obviously going to come out after I build the next element (so it doesn't bend), which'll be a downward helix, sadly near the end of the ride...

Anyway please comment.

EDIT: Btw, supports aren't done yet, don't say it or the immleman look unsupported.

EDIT: YES, FLEXIES WILL BE PUT ON.

[Dadevster]

That's...That's...
AWESOME! I love coasters that twist around a lot. That's really cool. :lurk

[Antinos]

Wow! The turns look gorgious and make it look like a dueler. The immleman flows very nicely with it. I love the way your making your heartline roll. I will have to try that some time.

[pkiknex25]

What is that on floor??? C'mon spill it out! lol j/k

Wow, I'm loving this right now. Its really smooth, just like all your coasters. If only you would just start building them bigger. lol

[imakecoasters]

Uhh... wow. I'm gonna use this for like all my heartlining now. I'm pry gonna use it on rodeo... mabey. It's a great idea!

The coaster looks great, just great. I love the turns and inversions...
