Well, since we are tearing down our kitchen and

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!

[sixflagsfreak56]

Awsome! I can't wait til you get back!

You'll be missed so much! Good luck building and not updating!

[Westside7th]

Good luck. I doubt you can fit all those inversions in,

though. Inverts are a lot of fun!

[coasterfreak11]

sixflagsfreak- THANKS!!!

westside- Ya it will be somthing new for me! ( kind of!)

Also,

I am thinking of naming this Twister since my last coaster was Hurricane!!

Before ya know it I will have an earthquake coaster! JUST KIDDING!

[CostaKid]

Sorry matt, your batwing wont be the first. Mine is

coming out tommorow.

[coasterfreak11]

What a surprise! Somebody said they were

going to do it right after I posted...I must be able to foretell the future!

[CostaKid]

I was going to wait until i was done but, i want to be the

first.

[coasterfreak11]

Okay, I AM BACK!! WHOOO

HOOOO!! Pics up tonite!! I have the station, lift, drop, and loop

done!! I want to do a batwing, but if I do I know that it will not work, what

do you guys think I should do?

[coasterfreak11]

Okay, here is the picture!!! Tell me

what ya think, and what I should do next!!!

[gforce]

What ever you want to do

[Westside7th]

When you say a batwing, don't you mean a

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!

[coasterfreak11]

A batwing is featured on Montua at BGT and no I am

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!

[coasterfreak11]

So what do you guys think I should do? Should I do a

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!!!

[CostaKid]

I made a batwing on a non-invert before. It was cool but

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.

[coasterfreak11]

A batwing on a non invert is would not be a batwing,

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!

[CostaKid]

In a good way. As for the "batwing" i refer to

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.

[coasterfreak11]

Yes, well I have decided to do a barrel roll after it so

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!!

[coasterfreak11]

Has anyone ever done a hill going up the level, then

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~

[PlatinumCoasters]

I don't have any pics, but I have made a

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.

[Westside7th]

On my invert, Voltage, I have a corkscrew/inline

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:
