This post made me laugh. You are all wrong here.It shouldn't, the speed needed for this won't coaster wouldn't need an amount of pressure that would rip the chain. Plus if all the links are facing the right way, it shouldn't break.

Yes I can solve the cubes.
fastmanxc the only reason I dont have room right now is because my other coaster is still up.
I know this. what I am saying is that you have room to put up two or three coasters at once and still have walking space. I put up ONE coaster, it's not even big, and there is zero walking space.

^Unlucky, if I had the sets I could create about 5 in my room, with a bit of walking space left, but my dad would be pissed of at me, and i'd constantly be tripping up over low parts of the coaster

Demolition has started on resistance and I am planing on having all down and sorted by tonight. I still dont have a layout yet because I am still not sure what would go good after the cobra roll. After I am done taking it down tonight I will start on the launch and either have pics up really late tonight or sometime tommorow. Suggestions for after the cobra roll are appericiated.

Go into another half loop, then have it roll out of it 45 degrees to the right of it. It'll be like an immelmann except it doesn't loose a lot height after the top. This way, it gets you back to the top of everything, but isn't a copy of Premier's version. Then start wrapping the track around everything.
Note: If it's hard to follow, the track should be ending up outside the cobra roll and not in the middle of it.

How about you make it more like jokers jinx's c-roll, then if it's posible interlock a loop into it!

I say you go for a spread out layout, with this you could do a zero-g roll then a large overbank into another inversion and so on.....

I'd say do an immelman with the twist diving in between the two half loops...then an overbank the other way, into some twistyness, a cork or heartline, then bunny hills into the brake run.

Is it smooth and long?
Posted 15 February 2008 - 09:59 PM
After your immelmann, the track should go inbetween the cobra roll, and into a helix around the second half loop of it. After that, the track should go into another helix around the first half loop. Try and fit a corkscrew in after that and a few more turns.

The pile looks a lot smaller then it really is and I know after sorting them for a couple of hours. Anyways I finished the launch and that is pretty much it. I will probably work a little more tonight on the element after the cobra roll and I will work as much as I can on it tommorow. Not much to comment on but here are a couple pics:

I have a small problem because the chain or the rubberbands keep snapping. Does anyone know if their is another solution other than rubberbands. Anyways I started the immlemann and I am not sure if the top is to tight. I will let you guys decide. And yes it was making it before the launch started to break. Here are some pics:
