put on the site..Is Xcelerator. Yeah... i know
what you are thinking "great another Xcelerator". But this Xcelerator is
actually going to be completed. I trying my best to make the model as realistic as
possible. Im going to make a loading station out of a shoe box, brakes (the ones that
MMman graciously donated to us), custom cars (if possible), and a rubber-band launch
(yeah i know, but i will try to make a new kind of launch while im making the coaster).
So far i have completed the launch ramp, and the top hat. Those two things took me 3
days to design and create. (thats how much time i have put into this coaster). the
launch looks just like Xcelerator's and im trying my best to make the top hat the
same way (except the supports are very hard to make). well i will have pictures as
soon as i get my computer back from the shop. It is the only computer i have that has
the software i need to upload pics. well L8ter all! hope to get pics up ASAP.

decent Xcelerator. Although DaSquriel improved his, the pics didn't show the
entire ride.

top of the top hat for even more strength, good idea with putting flexi and gra rods
through the middle. Just pointing out, if your using my brakes and on a down hill slope,
I suggest not attatching them together and just making sure that each brake sticks up
with resistance, so then it will flow smoothly like a magnetic affect kinda, point is it will
be smoother, if you were to connect them all and especially on a down slope the cars
would be so jerky from all the different forces on the breaks and cars, lol. Course just
do whatever works best too, lol.

smoothed out more. The towers should be wider apart because the top hat on
Xcelerator starts to slop inward after the 90degree trurns before cresting the top.

action as we speak. I'll post some more
pics up later tonight. Until then stick tuned. L8ter all! ok i have been trying to
make the Adjustments you suggested Westside. But they are very hard to make. If i
make the supports wider, it takes the shape out of the track for the top hat. It looks
uuugly. so im going to go with my original plans.

to my house. Thanx for the complements! Also i think im going to
make the Top Hat a tad bit smaller to make it more poprtional to the launch ramp. also
so i can make the overbanks bigger in the end. If anyone has any tips to
make the coaster look good. Feel free to tell them. I'll try to get pictures up
tonight or tommorow for sure! well L8ter all!
Here are some
pics of my revised Top Hat!
