I'm guessing you haven't yet supported the pullup to the (straight drop one) because that is freaggin BUMPY. :eek

[lilmikemarin]

The pullout to the curve drop is very straight.

[Jogumpie]

^Indeed. I think you have to make the beginning of that pullout steeper. That way you won't have a straight part in it, the curve will be more gradual.

[Chaos]

Okay, I banked the drop more and made it steeper. I know there's a bump near the bottom, but right now I just want to know if the shape of the drop is fine. Please help.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

That pullup is kinda tight. I really don't know what you could do.

[Chaos]

I got quite a bit of work done today, although, I had no idea coasters this big took so long to shape. I got the first half of one of the overbanked turns done, and it's a little more than 6 feet tall. What do you guys think?

[imakecoasters]

That looks.... insane.

I can just tell tons of people will be saying "There's a HUGE straight part on the pullup of the overbank." plus they will probably comment on the pullin/pullout of the drop.

I think it looks cool. I'd love to see an inversion, but do whatever you have planned.

There's a GINORMOUS straight part in the overbank....

JK, but the pullouts of the drops are way to small and the overbank isn't wide enough.

I'm really sorry that I have to plague you with this absolutely atrocious picture, but I feel it is necessary....

Remember, this is how I think it should be. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm always right.


Okay, here it goes:

1. Make the pullouts larger
2. Clear me up on the weird section. Sometimes it looks bad, but sometimes it looks good. It confuzzles me.
3. Widen that overbank.
4. Eat a cookie.

Remember, I could be horribly wrong. I just think these changes will help.

(#2 is really just clearing me up on that section that looks smooth 90% of the time, yet looks bumpy here. I am not asking you to change it.)

[lilmikemarin]

^Agreed, Both pull-up and pull out are completely strait. Round them out more.

[RCT2123]

The overbank looks awesome, but the pullouts/ups are way too small. They need to be made around twice as big. The twisting drop's pullout should start right out of the twisting. About the shaping taking long, you can understand now why some of us who make these coasters lose interest......

-Rct2123:cool:

[Chaos]

Don't worry, I'm not losing interest. I'm just getting a little frustrated. I tried to make the pullup/pullout as huge as I could. Please tell me I can move on.

[fastman xc]

go ahead. move on. I think you should keep on truckin :slp < no, not that...:iyes

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

For some odd reason it almost looks perfect. Move on.

[CoasterBuilder]

I'd say its time to move on. It looks nearly perfect. The pullouts could be bigger, but you don't have much room to expand them from what I can see.

[Antinos]

I guess you should move on, but if you want it perfect, you should make it start to pullout when it exits the supports.

[fastman xc]

okay, so it is not perfect, it is ideal...sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Chaos]

Well, in order to have the pullout start right after it exits the tower, I'd have to raise it a lot, and then I might have some problems with the overbank. Besides, if I try to change it again, I might not finish this by the deadline. Anyway, I'm almost done with the overbank, and I'm pretty happy with it. Also, do you guys want me to build another overbank with the second track, or should I build a tophat.

[Garth]

Wow nice overbank! Looks nice and smooth to me! I think you should go with something more unique though..But that's IMO

[fastman xc]

^no, this fits the coaster well. he will have plenty of time and speed to do unique things.

[trainboy414]

i would go with another overbank.
