here are some real pictures of Iron Eye.

pov of you walking up to the station.


the station close up


over view of the launch and station.


here are the plans for it as you can see they aren't complete: dots are half loops ,X's are cork screws


the coaster is going to go... roll slowly out of station... get launched... go up a 3 1/2 ft. 90* heart lined top hat... back down at a 90* heart line... up a half loop cork screw... (whatever thats called I don't know) then a dive loop... 385* helix... heart line... brakes (if needed). 180* turn to the station. thats it I got to ad that to the drawing.
please comment

I tried to reconstruct Jespurtjuh's launch system, but the pictures do not show up!
Can you please help me? I mean, how did you build this?

The top is bumpy and too sharp, and you did not leave enough space for the halftwist on the way up, it should be gradual.

^dose this work? http://www.sscoaster...p?searchid=1388
if it dosn't your browser may not allow these kind of pictures or you have a internet filter thats blocking it.

if its none of those I don't know.

^oh don't worry about the top ,the twist ,and the pull up that was all temporary all I rely have to show in this topic is the supports and the launch.

[gauntlet1313]

Do something cool after it not just a top hot i think maybe something like xcelarator.

[the_burrito_master]

don't worry don't worry I'm doing some cool stuff.

there is a picture of the plans so far now.

[the_burrito_master]

^here you go http://www.instructa...aster-Iron-Eye/ just click on the small pictures at the bottom to make them bigger.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Not to be mean or anything but it sounds really close to my name of my launched coaster( Iron Eagle). Could you please change it?

[Jogumpie]

^Don't make a huge issue about it.

[Cardsandcoasters]

Can you get a side shot? Of the pull up? And keep the flexies. btw I realized that it was the school's computer that hid the pictures-don't bother with the links. Thanks

[the_burrito_master]

^yeah I'll get that after I finish the other side of the tower.

^^^ well if you can think up something better I will gladly change it I don't rely like the name.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Steel Dragon...thats all I can think of right now.

[the_burrito_master]

^thats the name of a real coaster I don't know I'll think of one.

^by the way whats Iron Eagle like? (could you link me the pictures)

Updates:
this is the tower.(much better then the last one):


this is the side view of the pull up:


this is the improved heart line still needs work and help.


hope you all like and pleas keep the comments coming.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Yes, It was a dueling launched coasters using micro parts. Here is a picture, Iron Eagle is the yellow one.

[the_burrito_master]

^cool great job I see it is in your avatar thats good for slim track!

[Top_Thrill_Dragster33]

I can feel this is going to be pretty good. Your slowly but surely improving. The shaping is great but you my need to support the towers a little more. Possible some lateral footers at the bottom. The crest is good, very realistic.

I pray this is going to turn out more than just a tophat coaster.

maybe this will help ?
The thing with the twist is that the track must ''turn'' around the cars. Did you get me ? The car must stay a the exact same place verticaly. I know that it is very hard to build I tried myself and it was horrible.
Keep it up good work!
(b.t.w. perfect pull-up !!)

[Cardsandcoasters]

What ^ means is that you need to heartline it. Maybe you could base it off the heartlined tutorial in the tutorial forum. Pullup is great. The tophat looks a little sharp. Look here or here or here for assistance.

^^^ oh don't wory it's not going to just be a top hat coaster its going to have a half loop ,cork ,dive loop ,and a helix if I can fit all that in there.

^^ yeah I under stand that I think it is I checked that out and it was fine.
thanks for the comment.

^thanks thats the best pull up I ever made ,the top is a bit sharp I'll try and fix that Tuseday.

up dates some action shots and the other half of the tower.

the whole thing: so far got a long way to go still.


the tower:


the launch:


the car going up the hill:


Enjoy!
