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.

Stop bringing up Devastator; it's a bad example because I could have easily made the overbanked turn a 0-G. Come to think about it, it was 135 degrees, so it should be considered an inversion.

There, seven.



(Oh, and try to avoid not connecting the flexis (middle of first pic) because it makes it unsmooth.)

^well i wasn't here fo construction of Devestator so i didn't know you didn't have space sorry.

[RCmaniac31]

^^yes can we please stop bringing up devastator...

the turn is pretty bumpy especially in the first pic.

you might need to make the lift taller but if you look at MCM's Furious, it made it through 6 inversions with a pretty ordinary sized lift(dont know exactly)

you should be fine, just smooth it out.

i would say something about how your wasting pieces on the support of the turn, but you already have tons, and even if you run out, you can just get more.
smoothe out the turn

[Cardsandcoasters]

^ok, where am i wasting pieces? Thanks.
Pics at 6:00ish. Thanks for all the comments!

[Mikecoastermaniac]

on the support holding up the entire structure, too many crossties/yellow rods...
at least to me ( someone who lacks the pieces to build good coasters)

[Cardsandcoasters]

omg I'm playing hookey tomorrow (but I have straight A's). It's the first time I have skipped school to just stay home. I have lots of homework.

[fastman xc]

don't play hookey. School comes before coasters. That's kinda a fundamental understanding around here. finish your homework if you can and get to school on time.

[Cardsandcoasters]

^Here are my reasons in order:
1. I have tons of homework
2. I'm a good student (all A's).
3. I've never done it before, and never will again.

[Cardsandcoasters]

Double post, I know, but I have an update!

Smoother pre-drop:



full drop:


Parts of drop:



Pull out:

[Maverix]

Looks nice. The pullout might be a bit big so make the drop a bit steeper and make the pullout a bit smaller.

[the_burrito_master]

yeah I think you should make it a bit steeper.

^the pull out is fine the bigger the better? or dose it make it work better to have a smaller one?

[Maverix]

^well if its to big it wastes pieces and space and you must continue the same pullout/in length so it would be out of proportion.

[RCmaniac31]

^well he cant really waste pieces cause he has soo many lol...
and wouldnt having a longer pullout waste a little more speed than normal?
it really doesnt matter but the drop just looks weird to me probably because it is not normal for a multi looper to have such a spread out drop...

[Cardsandcoasters]

Does anyone have a picture of what the drop should look like? Thanks!

[Mikecoastermaniac]

whats with the flexis on the inside of track ties?
and here....everything does look very smoothe though. Good job.

[Cardsandcoasters]

Ok thanks. I'll fix it. The flexies inside add support.

[fastman xc]

See, that is a very Schwarzkopf-looking drop. ever see the drop for Superduperlooper? It's just like that. I think it should stay. And the flexis on the inside would do more if they were actually connected to the middle teeth on the bottom of the ties.
EDIT... I see you have that too....

[Cardsandcoasters]

Ok then, does it fit the layout (loop, stengel dive, cobra roll, interlocking corcks)? And does the stengel dive fit the coaster type? I could change it to an immelmann, but then again, immelmanns are used so often now....
