If Charger was your 7th how is this your 4th?

[LCAL]

It looks good for a VV. I think that you shouldn't use those type of supports on the lift hill, though.

[RCmaniac31]

^well i could either use box supports or come up with something new(?)
^^when i said 7th for charger, the first four were all the the instruction coasters and other little tiny ones. so now im doing custom coasters

[rollercoasterfreak]

Okay, in the first picture I noticed there are hardly andy black supports like this../. You have to use those as much as you can to make it not as shakey. The last picture that had the element, and you said your not going to use it. I would have put that after the loop instead of the zero-g roll. It should have been, loop, sea serpant element, then zero-g roll. That would make more elements and more speed.

[RCmaniac31]

^ill try it, but ill probably have to make the loop a little bit taller

[Cardsandcoasters]

Make the top of the zero-g-roll be in the middle of the box. Also, the chain lift supports are horrible. go with the box supports. This'll be a sweet coaster!

Hope you have enough pieces to finish, even though it looks like you do. And that lift cat walk thing, I would take that off and use that for more pieces. Finish the coaster before putting on accessories like that.

[RCmaniac31]

ok i will and i will probably have to order some more pieces

[lazor 22]

I would take out the last hill with the turn and make it a 135 hammer head like on deth0lkk but bigger. And you should take off the stairs, there way out of scale anyway.

^now that's a REAL double post lol.

Your supports are on overdose on the second hill

[RCmaniac31]

^^i was thinking about that and i probably will...
^ill try but i probably wont(im try to waste pieces so my parents will buy me more so i can finish... hehe.)

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

^Lol... Anyway yeah definatly do a hammerhead it would look SO much better. This coaster is looking like my previous coaster (not on SSCoasters) accept mine was not made of slim track.

[RCmaniac31]

ok i have a VIDEO!!!:http://s269.photobuc...nt=MVI_0997.flv


BTW i named the coaster Inferno

[coastermaniac]

That is an awesome coster for a vv coaster. Way better than those non-realistic coaster .
