I'm thinking you should go Arrow or Schwarzkopf style here. include the loop & corks, ditch the stengel dive.

[Antinos]

Everybody has been going with all the artsy, difficult elements lately like immelmanns, stengel dives(well, attempted), and batwings. I haven't seen a coaster featuring a plain old loop and corkscrew in a long time. If more people could see Coasterguy's coasters and model their's after that, they would have awesome coasters. His style isn't that hard to build.

Well if you keep the drop do what ^/^^ said if not do what you planned on doing.

[Cardsandcoasters]

If I keep the drop, will I need to change the layout?

^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.

ok I guess that makes sense. Did you you see blue streak in action yet?

click on my sig.

[Cardsandcoasters]

UPDATE (with (finally) RESIZED PICS!)! I made the drop steeper. Im going with the original layout.

I like it
Go ahead.

[CS Aljabr]

Yeah i guess it looks better...whats next?

[Maverix]

definatly looks better you can move on.

[Coasteradict]

Looks a lot better than it did! I vote double loop into bouble corkscrews, like Fastman xc said.

[Cardsandcoasters]

I dont' think that I'll do a double loop/corckscrew. It doesnt' seem too much fun. I also want this to be interesting because I have to leave it up untill easter. New layout: loop-1/2 batwing (turning to the windows)-cobra roll (i hope)-interlocking corcks (or jsut two corcks (ammount of room decides that))-heartlined roll. How is it? I still need a name btw. Thanks! Comments!

That sounds unrealistic and undoable.

[eliavlevy]

Realistic just a bit, but definetly undoable... take out 2 inversions or so.

[Coasteradict]

^I said soundsunrealistic, but it might look realistic when finished, if it was doable.

[RCmaniac31]

it does seem sort of unrealistic and i dont think you gonna amke it through that cobrs roll

names-Goblet,Conquer,Hail fire(idk)

[Cardsandcoasters]

Ok. Should I replace the cobra roll with an overbank?

[fastman xc]

yes. please.

[Jogumpie]

Why do people keep on determining their lay-out so far in advance? I mean, I wouldn't decide on more than 2 or 3 elements. It happens a lot that your speed turns out to be smaller, which changes your lay-out.

[eliavlevy]

^ Yes, happens to me alot ><

[Cardsandcoasters]

^^I have sparyed my cars (trust me, they are sprayed VERY WELL from Blindsided) and they are weighted with about 7 quarters under each train (first train has 4 nickles because of the lift hill catch). I made the loop 2 yellow rods shorter that the drop, and it FLIES through it. I will resize it if everyone else agrees, and then pics. Here are the pics of what it is right now:
