I am currently constructing a new coaster. It starts

out with a 7foot lift, then a drop, 3 foot vertical loop, & a cutback. Following the

cutback, I have a bunny hill and a barrel roll planned. Then, I plan on having a 180

degree turnaround to the left so the train is traveling right next to and parellel to the lift

hill. I will use the 1st lift hill supports to build the 2nd lift hill. The 2nd lift will be about

5feet. Then after the drop, I haven't decided which inversion to choose.
After the drop I want an inversion that will get the train traveling back towards the

start. I decided on using either an immelman or diving loop.

Which do you

think I should choose?
Here are pics of each:

Loop</a>
Immelman 1 (the inversion after the vertical loop on the red

coaster)
Immelman 2 (this is an immelman on an invert; my coaster

isn't an invert)

well now that I think

about it you should go with the immelman because there would be too much force

going into a dive loop after a first drop, which could account for a dramatic loss in

speed so thats my

final decision

So far, 3 people want to see an immelman. Please

keep voting!

Defiantly immelman!

By popular demand, the immelman wins!

Actually, the immelman is already built and complete on the coaster right now! I

will post a pics of it this weekend!
