...and when people still used flexi rods.
lol! :lolo
I would have to say that I wouldn't know that feeling, but IMO the twist should at least be heartlined a little.

Looks really good but i think you could Round the top of it a little more. It looks like it has a straight part.

Just to let everyone know that I have a really big update coming but my camera needs batteries and I am unable to take pictures. I re-did and finished the Inverted Top Hat. It's not perfect, but I'm not looking for perfection. I'm looking to finish the thing.

Is it tighter, because it looks very wide to me at the moment.

^^^ Thanks, here are the pictures!
^^Sorry, it's the same width. I like the width though, it doesnt burn as much speed as a normal inside top hat.
^Thanks!
A new update!
Before you comment on the awkwardness of the pullout on the left side, I am currently reshaping it. So ignore that.
I am currently reshaping the pullout on the farther side.

The tophat looks much better. But the turn in the second pic should be more supported. Also, even the other pullout has a small straight part. Overall, good job.:tmbs

the turns in the top hat look rough and i see bumps where both of them end. the supports should be in more and your good as well as the pullouts.

Where'd He Go?
Posted 19 February 2008 - 07:54 PM
yeah man, dont use that turn...
use something like this, except use gray rods on the outside, and green rods on the inside
and that top hat actually looks a little wide, but still good. Put the middle tubing on aslo.

I still think the tophat is too wide, not sharp enough. It's actually flat on the top, which looks weird.

Well, I have a snow day today so lots of work will be done. Here it what has been done:
Revisions made to pullup/pullout
Half of the Zero-G roll has been constructed.
I have tons of pieces in the mail for this ride and other rides that should have came earlier, but will either come later on or tomorrow.
^I never gave a head on-shot, from the side angle it does look like it has a straight part. But in reality that section of track is slow curved. I've seen wide elements, but I really don't think it's that wide. I don't want to burn all my speed in a tight top.
Proposed layout:
Launch, Inverted Top hat, Zero-G Roll, Camelback, Turnaround, Heartline Roll, Station.
The only element that isn't confirmed is the Heartline Roll due to space.
And the turn has been modified. It is stronger and looks much better. I think I am going to use it. I will post a picture.
And, video might be up today. So keep your eyes peeled for a test launch.

no, the scale would be larger but the ratio is the same, so the they'd have the same radius. however, that configuration is not as strong.

I finished the coaster. A video will be up tonight or tomorrow. Also, I took out the Zero-G Roll. It caused too much pain, both to my fingertips and to my brain due to frustration. So I turned it into a camelback.
I built a small station with a roof.
I've also decided to use Rippin Rocket motors.
For my first coaster, I didn't want to overdo it with some crazy launch. I just wanted to complete it and make it look good.
