Ok, so I started to build again! I've decided to build a small wooedn coaster with maybe 3 elements. If started the lift, and layed out some footers for the drop.


^ Lift


^ Footers for the drop


^ Overview

Comments are greatly appreciated :tmbs

[Chubs33]

Only Thing to comment on is to reduce the chain sagging. Good luck with this coaster man. Looking forward to something unique.

[lilmikemarin]

I finished half of the drop. I'm not completely satisfied. Pics;


^Drop


^Reverse POV


^From above

Please comment. :tmbs

[Chubs33]

yo are you going to put a gear at the top? I suggest you do if you want your chain running half way descent.

[lilmikemarin]

^I had the gear up top, but the car kept getting stuck to it. And in order to shape the drop correctly, it got in the way. I might put it back another time.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

To fix the problem why don't you make the lifhill footers an extra granite rod longer to fit the gears in.

[lilmikemarin]

^Iwould have done that but then the drop wouldn't be as steep as i need it to be. Anyway I finished the drop and am pretty satisfied. I also raised up the gear and the chain works perfect. And I moved the coaster for needed room for the next element :tmbs

Comment please! :tmbs

BTW - Can someone help me think of a name and theme. Thank you

I like it, except for the teeny tiny bump in the POV. As of now I don't have any name/theming ideas. Fix the itty bump and it's perfect.

[pkiknex25]

Well, unless you're using a 1 or maybe 2 car train, its not going to get over the top. I like the drop though. Just do what ^ said and your good.

[lilmikemarin]

^Do your saying I should raise the drop like ThunderWood said?
^^I can't see a bump, can you be specific cause I want to be as smooth as possible.

[coasterpro]

^^he could use a chain dog.Thats what I did on breakable.It could have a 4 car train if he wanted,it just matters where he puts the chain dog.

[pkiknex25]

^^Yeah, thats what I would do. Add a granite section and make the top taller.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

Either that or have a one car train.:suani

[lilmikemarin]

I'll see what I can do. I'll proably raise the drop since there is kinda a flat part near there so it might fix it, and I want to use a 3 car train. BTW, I finished some of the next element. Pics tomorrow.

[lilmikemarin]

Ok, I redid the top of the drop and the lift works! Also pics of the new element.


^Drop, gear on top


^Hill going through lift


^Going into the hill.

BTW - Please help me think of a name/theme. :tmbs

[TripleHelix]

The pullout is too sharp. No name/theme ideas yet.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

Kodiak bear: THE FURY

Yeah the pull up is to sharp. Fix it and your gravy.

Build a mountain on the lifthill for theme.

[lilmikemarin]

I fixed the pull up. Whats a Kodiak bear? I'm not liking that name sorry.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

Eh its just the name of a bear. This is my last name I'm not good at names wild bull.

[PlanetSaturn56]

How about something like 'The Great Bear'. Or 'The Rickety Rumbler'.
