Compared to the pictures CAC posted, your tophat looks fine. It's just the heartlining that needs to be fixed.

[the_burrito_master]

yeah the top is ok but I think im going to leave the heart lines a lone because it dosn't matter that much it except that the shaping is just a little off.

[rollercoasterfreak]

The top supports looks a little stressed. Other than that its fine.

[DDRman732865]

Ok. Here's a good way to make a heartlined hill. Make this tutorial and only keep the angles you need. That should give you a damn nice heartline.

Am I the only one who thinks that the tophat should be a lttile wider?

[Cardsandcoasters]

^No, I do too, but it's not enough to worry about. Maybe just a tad shorter.

^^you're not the only one I thought so too and so did cac.... oh he just answered that lol

^^^ Thats the same heart line I based this off its exactly the same I don't get why it didn't turn out like that if you look again there are yellow rods coming off the structure with yellow connectors and white rods coming off of them...

I just checked and it is exactly the same as mine ,it might be because the roll dosn't go a full 365* turn so the strait parts are messing it up. I dont think there i much i can do about it.

Where's the launch gone? And what element oyu building?

[the_burrito_master]

I took the launch section off because it made it hard to work with in the room I was building in. every thing is still fine.

I'm working on the half loop then a large cork coming off so it's like half a cobra role.

Do You mean a sidewinder?

[Cardsandcoasters]

That inversion looks great! It's smooth, and you have the teardrop shape.

^^yeah I guess so thanks.

^thanks. I got part of the Immilman(sp?) built! The heart line is sweet! i cant wait to show you.

[the_burrito_master]

updates!

the over view of the coaster.


this is the side winder. (it dosn't look like one much though)


the dive loop to the left and the side winder to the right.

2nd pic. WAAAAY too tight at the top.

[Chubs33]

The second inversion is a little bit too circular. Raise the apex of the immelemann and you should be good. Looks nice so far though.

[the_burrito_master]

^^yeah I know I still need to work on the side winder a lot the corkscrew coming off isn't even a corkscrew.

^But if I raise the top it wont make it it barely makes it as it is ,but I'll try.

I think my lay out was a little to rushed the side winder dive loop dosn't work to well.

Thanks for the advice ,do any of yo want a test video?

here is the test video.

[the_burrito_master]

I'm working on the corkscrews now and I want to see if you guys thing this half looks all right.

here is half of it. Should I continue? Note there will be flexys later.


the pov.

[mophead999]

add flexis, add more supports to the top hat, it shakes way too much

[christian]

Like ^ said, it shakes alot. Add more supports. If you do thatit will look good!

[Jplaz]

Top hat looks weird, the track should be more straight, then the top hat...
