building a new one and our satelite for the internet or w/e is going to be down and we
can not move it cuz we have so many trees, I will not be able to be on the internet for
like 3 weeks!! Hopefull when I come back I will try and have a coaster for
all of you when I come back!
The new coaster will be an invert my
1st invert, beside Dejavu! It will feature a lift, swooping drop, loop, batwing( first
on knex coaster) then maybe a barrel rool and a lil swooping drop to the ground and 2
corkscres and into the station! That is 6 inversions, so I doubt all of this will go as
planned, but who knows! But hopefully when I come back I will have pics for
everone! And no one better steal my idea! Talk to you guys in like 3 weeks
unless I go to someone elses house and get on here and post updates, but that wont be
very often! C ya guys!

cobra roll? I always thought that a batwinf was a cobra roll on a sit down and a cobra
roll was a batwing on an invert.
The coaster looks great! How tall is it?
Are you going to have custom cars? The drop looks good but it appears like it is
banked inward instead of outward. The loop is good. I suggest having the coaster
start to climb upwards and then do an inline twist and then drop back down again into
a corkscrew. You should check out my inverted coaster that was just released last
week, Voltage! Click the link in my sig!

not having custom cars, and I did realize that they are banked inward, but I dont really
care, cuz in my opinoin, it still looks good!

Batwing or what? I would love to do an immelman, but I know that rctyrant would
think that I am copying off of him beacause that is what he had on his model. So what
should I do!!!

the coaster was a failure so i tore it down to make an invert.
As for the
coaster, it is sick. Try to get in a decent 0-G roll, like a real one, not one that spins on
the ground.

it would be called a boomerang, or a butterfly. And when you say it is sick, do you
mean that in a good way or a bad way! And I was actually thinking of making it
go up and 0 g roll then I dont know what I would do though!

that because different companies call it diferent names. If i said
"boomerang" there are several possibilites. A "butterfly" is an
odd Vekoma Invertion. The most logical choice because every one knows what I am
talking about.

as of right now it will look very similar to batman's first 2 inverisions. Right now,
I have the hill up to the barrel roll done! I am hoping to pick up construction
soon! Hopefully another pic this weekend!!

barrel roll, then come down, like on batman's second inversion? I am trying to
do that and I am having a lot of difficulty making it look good! I have tried for
atleast a few hours!! If anyone has ever done a barell roll on an invert,
could I please see a picture? Thanks~

zero-g-roll before, and half one on an immelman. I hope this helps.
-Try to
go up the hill and then make the sudden change in vertical direction pretty much only
at the very top.
- Make the track go not in a straight line, but
circle around an imaginary line that the center of the car will go through.
-Have the twist start while at half way up the hill, but really start to roll over at the
top in a short span, but not rediculously tight.
-One of the most important
things!, I have found this out a few times, turn the cross bars laterally in the
direction of the roll, do this slightly before the main part of the twist, and mostly at the
main chunk of the twist at the top. A thing that slows the train down when it's
twisting so tight is that the wheel assemblies bang on the cross bars.
Also
while turning them to the side, make sure that the part of the crossbars that slip into
the track tubing, make sure those are twisted to a happy medium that those parts are
not sticking out.
I hope that helped, I will try and look through my
computer for the pictures of it. I might have deleted them. Oops. :-Dlol.

twist. It isn't the best but it worked well. I suggest having the track twist 90
degrees while going up the hill, then at the apex, go completly inverted and then twist
back to normal on the decent. Sort of like what MMountianMan said. Here are
pics:
