[RCT2123]

Actually I was looking for something more like this...

Dive Loop

Do that, and maybe you can sneak the bottom under the launch part, that would be pretty awesome...

hey....that could work if I just raise the launch run to a granite rod or so tall.
I'll get onto that....

so after that I can have an overbank over the pullup and pullout to the tophat. :tmbs

[RCT2123]

I am glad you are going to do it, and know what I am talking about. This coaster is awesome, and it would be a shame for it to be messed up with one bad element. Can't wait for an update...

-Rct2123:cool:

[fastman xc]

^thank you for thinking this is awesome...

my first update is what I get finished in pd 2 tomorrow (my time to do such coaster stuff), which will probably amout only to the dismantling of the roll.

[fastman xc]

UPDATE!!!

I have removed the 0 G roll...





now I just need to raise the launch run and fix the pullout!

This coaster is turning out to be really awesome!!! The dive loop will turn out great because you have so much determination to finish this coaster! That is so awesome how you build at school!

Not so much of an update aeh?...lol...It does look like you will have a good lead into the Dive Loop though. Make sure to make it as close the the B&M one as possible...

[fastman xc]

not much of an update, but I raised the launch run. I also reshaped the pullup and such

[PlanetSaturn56]

Cool! This coaster looks great! The launch run, and the pull-in look exponentially better!

BTW.... 600th POST!!!!

[RCT2123]

Looking good, man that sucks that you won't be building since we don't have school. This is one of my favorite coasters being built at this time...

-Rct2123:cool:

[fastman xc]

^wow. I am honored. thank you very much.

I hope to finish this by mid-May. ... :sws

[fastman xc]

Name idea finally came......"The Fugitive"!!!!!!

how is that?

btw, update around 2:45 today...



the other got lost in the construction zone, but w/e, it was similar.

[Antinos]

What's that supposed to be, cause it looks good?

[fastman xc]

the beginning of this:

This, of course, at the suggestion of rct2123 on page 2. I should be making more progress tomorrow.

The coaster has loads more speed than with the 0 G roll.

\/no longer a bad link\/

[RCT2123]

^Bad Link...Go search for my post rollerdude, and there is a link in it...

Well right now it doesn't look much like the dive loop I said, but you made the entrance smooth, and it can be made into a dive loop of your own. Nice work...

-Rct2123:cool:

[PlanetSaturn56]

Yay dive loops. I tried one on Controlled Chaos, but it failed horribly. BUt yours will be better than!!! Can't wait for the next update!

-ET93:king

[fastman xc]

^^yeah, the one you suggested, if I did it like that the half loop would barely get started over the launch run, so there would not be the room to sneak it under. So, we'll see what happens...


how do people like the name??

[fastman xc]

sorry to double post, but I have pics...




still slightly bumpy...

[Antinos]

I said this already, but I don't mind about saying this again. It is a lot easier to make an immlemann than a dive loop. Start with building a half loop and then build the twist from the top down. It will come out a lot better and you would probably get it right on your second try(after a bit of tweaking and smoothing).

[fastman xc]

^I think I will keep building, then once I have the half loop I will go back and fix the twist.

Any other comments?
