i have finally had the time to make this tut, (and thanks to mikecoastermaniac)giving me an idea. ok here is what it looks like
Posted Image
here is what youll need
Posted Image
Step 1: put 16 blue spacers in between to 90 degree conectors on the ends
Posted Image
Step 2: add 2 full white connectors next to those, and then 2 more 90 degree ones next to those
Posted Image
Step 3: add the 2 semi-circles with the small white rods on it, and then lastly add the middle 90 degree connector between those, and the first car is done.
Posted Image
Step 4: starting on the second row of seats you start with puting 16 blue spacers in between 2 90 degree connectors, like the first step, and then you add two semi-circle ones with 2 little black rods in the middle of them
Posted Image
make sure that when you connect the pices to the green rods on the 2nd and 3rd rows of seats that they are connected through the middle of the pieces but this one
Posted Image
Step 5: add 2 90 degree connectors next to the semi-circles, and then 2 full white round ones next to those, and lastly add a 90 degree conncetor in between them like this
Posted Image
Step 6: then connect that row of seats to the first row by connecting the small black rods to the full white circles of the first row, and then your 1st and second rows are done
Posted Image
Step 7: now to build the last row, first you do the same as always with the 16 spacers, but then you add 2 semi-circles next to those
Posted Image
Step 8: now add 2 90 degree conectors next to those ,and then add 2 semi-circles with little black rods next to those
Posted Image
Step 9: now add a small 90 degree connector in between those, and then your done with taht row, after that you will connect the 3rd row to the 2nd row like so, and your done
Posted Image
Posted Image
Step 10: now the last step is to connect the tarins to the car and it is done!

It's good but you should put the rod giong down in the 2nd rw to centre gravity more

Really good if you can make strong support because they seem heavy. Nice tut!

^they arent super heavy like most cutom cars are, they are a pretty reasonable weight
^^and i have tried to put the 2nd row on the front but it just looks funny, and to make the center gravity more i might make 4 rows, but i am bnot sure

It's a very well put together tut, and I think if I ever make a dive coaster, I'll use these.

A dive coaster is a B&M style of coaster. It has a vertical (or near vertical for the first two 87.9 degrees) And has wide cars that sit 8-10 people. Griffon, Sheikra, And oblivion are 3 of the 4 operating dive machines.

Actually, it's called a dive machine. But yes, it is a vertical drop coaster by B&M.
