If there exactly the same, then why is the first one taller than the next?

I think the first loop should exit at the same height as the entrance. That transition is looking weird cause of the different height.

I agree with MCM, it looks good, but they should be closer together. I don't know. Cool anyways.

I don't think they need to be closer. Look at GASM.

But take out some supports between the two loops. Other than that, the loops look great.

I actually have the entire layout planned, and I like it.. The pullout of the overbank will be like MF's that starts to head towards the lift again, but this time towards the loop. Then it will bank the other way and do double corcks. the track will keep the banking and go right into an upward helix, into the station. How is it?

^That's what I was going to do, but MCM gave me the idea of one loop shorter, and I like it better. Thansk though.
I'm having a little trouble with the overbank. Just the structure. I'll get some pics soon.
BTW, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE NAME SIROCCO? It means a hot desert wind. Thanks!

The name Sirocco makes me think of a park I want to visit again: Walibi Belgium. *hint: Sirocco was once the name of a Schwarzkopf launch coaster at that park*

^Ah, cool. This one? It's now called turbine 
lol. Sirocco makes me think of a type of petrified wood. I have no idea why, It just does lol. Is it a good, name that fits the coaster? Thanks.
I'm having troubles with the overbank. Pics later today.

Is it smooth and long?
Posted 04 March 2008 - 08:01 PM
^You're probably thinking of "Sequoya", one of the largest species of trees in the world.
As for the name, it sounds pretty sweet. It's definitely unique and fits the coaster well. For some reason, I've always seen Arrow coasters with a desert as their best setting. Just something about the track structure. Beemers usually make me think of a jungle or heavily foliated or themed area(thinks of BGA), and Intamins make me think of a lake or peninsula(thinks of CP)...
