Im not sure how im going to do this but ground

breaking on a new coaster will be happening this week. This coaster will hopefully be

one of my best yet. I got some good ideas with the first ever cable lift ( I think). I

have already build a test hill for the a cable lift and it works great. More details to

come soon

Sounds good. And I can't wait to see the cable

lift system. All my atempts (sp?) have failed so I hope yours works!

I tried to make somthing similar but couldn't get the

kinks out. Hope yours does.

Recently when i made my brakes on a u-shape of

track, I made a cable lift system, it worked fantastic, since it does'nt have all the

resistance of weight and gears of a chain, it went faster, not all that faster, but faster

and less strain on the motor. I tried it on my 4d cars but it snapped 3 out of 10 times

about, lol.

Iy will be the third cable lift because i'm building

on my coaster.

[pki2005]

Heres what the coaster will feature a cable lift,

vertical drop, vertical turn, vertical loop and a 0 g rool. If I like this coaster I may do

some theming on it.


I may add a launch at the end so i can add more

track

What is a vertical turn?

[Tyrant]

I think he may be talking about a cutback, and inversion

that was featured on Drachen Fire.....

[pki2005]

No its not a inversion its kinda like i overbanked turn.

Im not sure yet but i think Im going to change the layout once again.

[CostaKid]

Is it like this? It is one of my coasters.

[pki2005]

Yea but im changed the layout. Once agian im

building another launch
