I am working on Blindsided's deconstruction (I worked 8 hours yesterday, and will work at least 3 more hours today). My next coaster will be a multilooper, and will have 4-5 inversions. I'm going to try to do lots of updates, and will need lots of help. I need a name too, but not an animal name. The layout (so far) will be loop, dive loop or immelmann, and i''m not sure what will follow, but probably a zero-g-roll. Pics tomorrow of the lift if I dont' have too much homework.

I thought you were going to leave blindsided up until Easter?
Can't wait to see you 'new' coaster!!!

[Cardsandcoasters]

Well, it took all Saturday, but I FINALLY was able to persuade her to let me take it down .

[PrincessPriscy]

oh... i see, thats cool, good persuading!

[Maverix]

Yes the talking untill the parent can't take it anymore works again:) this sounds like it should be a good coaster can't wait.

[the_burrito_master]

it should have a sci-fi name hmm... I can't think of one but it should be a sci-fi name.

[Chubs33]

you should go for interlocking corks on this... havent seen a pair of them in awhile.

[Cardsandcoasters]

^Ok I'll try that. Thanks.

^^I agree....i think.

I will probably be able to get pictures of the lift hill up tonight . I was thinking of doing a predrop that starts out with the crest, the 5-6" drop, then a banked turn around under the lift, a turn in the opposite way, to line up parallell to the drop. What do you guys think?

[RCmaniac31]

do you mean like a helix, or a turnaround?

anyway i think you should go with your kind of drop then a loop, immlemann,0-g and cobra roll into a brake(depending how tall the coaster is). after that into interlocking corkscrews.or just copy off scream's layout:http://www.rcdb.com/ig2169.htm

Oh no, I have expectations lol.

^I think taht i would do a mix of a helix and turn around. I may draw a pic soon. I don't think that i will copy scream's layout. I've never like that coaster for some reason..... thanks though.

I have my first picture update. The lift is 3ft and 9.5in. After the crest, it will turn 90*, do a loop, stengel dive, cobra roll, and interlocking corcks.....I hope . I have already begun the turn slightly, so that's why it looks funny from the side.

-btw, can someone please teach me the fine art of resizing pics, while just using Photobucket or Microsoft Photo Editor? Thanks

Looks really good CAC!

[LCAL]

almost 4 feet wont get you a lot of speed for all those elements. I mean, Ive never tried, but I know gravity, and it's a bitch

[RCmaniac31]

yeah you might want to make the lift hill bigger


^lol


RC

[Maverix]

Yeah you should make the lift at least 1/2-1 foot bigger. TH only got 6 inversions on Devestator and that was 5 feet tall and i know you have the peices.

[Cardsandcoasters]

Ok, well what if I replace the cobra roll with an immelmann?
-CAC

[Maverix]

That would help but it would still be iffy.

[Cardsandcoasters]

^I'll try, and maybge change the layout.

PIC UPDATE! But it isn't too much. I just changed the turn at the top. I hope these resized.....

turn as some bumps, just smooth it out.

[eliavlevy]

Yes, smooth it out
