WOW, thats crazy. But then again, I would excpect this from you

[KNexCoasterCreator]

WOW. This is amazing... How are you going to do that for the whole coaster???

[fastman xc]

I'll guess that up next is a dropping twist to the left.

Looking good there Gump...Finally some Radii supports that look awesome...Can't wait for the rest of this, I just love updates...

[TwistedDreams]

^^^I'm sure this is for the lift... I hope it's for the lift...
It looks very tight Gump. I can't wait to see this. hopefully we could expect only one or two air hills like Goliath.

I love how you don't see the the chain return. It makes it look... more professional. I hope this ride ends up really twisty!

[sixflagsfreak56]

Can we get a close-up of the footers?

Looks amazing.

^Look in "the longest thread".

[Jogumpie]

^^^^^^You could be very right, my boy.

^^^^Why are you hoping that?

^^^Because of these supports, I had to do something about the chain. It now goes back through the ehm... extended backbone.

I will be installing the motor at the bottom of the lift. Putting it right under the crest would make it look horrible.

[sixflagsfreak56]

Absolutely genius. Awsome job.

I love the supports. I made ones that are similar awhile ago for Millennium Force for when I build it. One question though, how does the train work with the small yellow tubing. Isn't it the small stuff they use for the old ball towers.

[Jogumpie]

^The yellow tubing is from the Loopin' Lizard set. It is the same size as the Screamin' Serpent's and the Rippin' Rocket's tubing.

[Zorn]

^that tubing is from the loopin lizard set, it is the same size as SS tubing...

Your coaster is amazing so far, Keep it up!

EDIT:^beat me too it

[TwistedDreams]

^^^^Why are you hoping that?

I was hoping that the, "extended backbone" Wouldn't be on the whole coaster because it would look like crap and be WAY to much like an Rct coaster.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

This looks so realistic. Are you going to have enough room for it though?

[Jogumpie]

^^The extended backbone is just for the lift.

^Yes, I have moved the lift hill to somewhere else... I have more room now and the side-supports are somewhat hidden.

I have installed one motor (near the top) and I will place another right away. Just one isn't strong enough to pull the train up to the top smoothly.

[Jogumpie]

Time for another update:

I have moved the lift to another spot and installed the motors. The speed is quite realistic by the way.

Updating all my construction threads.

[KNexCoasterCreator]

Genius...I'm jealous I can't do this lol...

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

I have got to keep given it to you it looks so real!

[coastercrazy10]

If you're gonna use that style of supports for the whole ride, you better have a ton more of those rods than i'm aware of. They eat up the greys so fast it's unbelievable.
