The first drop is really bugging me. Next update will take a little while longer than the previous ones.

[Jesperdude]

wow, i'm stil amazed, are you?...
I mean, i heard about it of Jogumpie, but i never thought it would looke like this...

wow...

well, please post it as soon as you can... and i'm deep inside a little bit afraid you or somebody else will topple it...

good luck;)

Im sure once the drop is done, it will be sturdy. Im guessing it will be just like EGF and will be either 90* or 135*.

[Jogumpie]

Yes, the first drop twists just like EGF's. It is more like 80 degrees though.
The twist is a very tiny bit misshaped in one spot and that is probably because there can be no crosstie in there. Should I let the ride have the maximum amount of crossties? (Like on Horse of Troy)

[pkiknex25]

For the whole ride, no. For a small section when needed to, yes.

[Jogumpie]

You would almost think it is Expedition GeForce is.

The pull-out will probably be tightened a bit. The track should barely touch the ground.

I am very happy the twist is at least average. It isn't 100%, but look at the amount of supports... I think it is good enough.

It's pretty close to EGF, but the banking isn't right. It should flare out more. Look here to see what i mean. One you do the flare, it'll look exponentially better...you probably won't have to do anything else to it.

Looks as if youre going to have to squeeze in the rest of the pull out... But it does look great!

^^I don't think I will be able to flare the track as much as EGF does. I do not have any connections to the track until halfway down the drop.

^That won't be such a problem. If I change the radius just a little bit, I'll have much more room for the rest of the pull-out. In fact, I already did a bit of tweaking at the bottom.

I don't know if you have already noticed; I will be using two trains of 5 coaches each.

[Antinos]

If it was heartlined, it would look better. It does look funky though. If you can't do anything about it, then I guess you don't have to. Im sure you can do something though...

[Jogumpie]

I will be redoing the first drop someday. I had to change the angle it turns to fit in the overbanked turn.

Here is a picture of what I currently have. It is not done yet, of course.



EDIT: It seems there is a slight bump in the pull-up.

Where the twist starts isn't too perfect, but otherwise...I'm in love. lol

[knex-man]

I think it shakes a lot there, because it has much speed and the overbanked isn't very high.
If you changed the pullup it will look awesome!

[Jogumpie]

^Lol. It seems I tricked you. It is taller than you think it is.

I am not done with supporting, that should be pretty obvious when you look at the picture below.

I hate Sundays... they're too quiet.

I finished most of the overbanked turn.

one word, amazing...

[MF Rocks]

Looks exactly like an intamin, amazing job, love the overbank.

[Jogumpie]

More updates! I redid the first drop and connected the two parts.

much better, i love it;)
4th pic is awesome

[sixflagsfreak56]

I would connect all five of the supports for the overbank with a single rod between each of them. 1) It would be realistic and 2) More support. It seems every year, some ride blows away evrybody and stands out from all the rest. Well, this might be that model.
