I forgot to add this in but, if you have the speed take off the back and middle car and just use the front car, that will make it shake less

The top hat does shake a bit. Add lateral supports on it and the immelmann and it should be fine. Also, make the corkscrew as big as it can be to save speed. The shape of the cork is great though.

The inversions are a bit bumpy, but the corkscrew looks pretty good.

^thanks but with the speed I have it goes through at a great speed.

^^^junk food is some times good yeah.

^^^^ haven't gotten any new sets so what that doesn't make sense (I have used all most the whole blue streak though.) thanks for the great comment!

If I had more yellow rods I would be so much better though thats why I want a BBF so bad.

ok here are some new pictures of Iron Eye.

I got the lift that will take it back to the station done (as you can see I still need to connect them together)
don't mind the insane mess of my basement.
Posted Image

this is the turn that takes it back to the station. not completely finished.
Posted Image

this picture shows you the improvements I made one night.
Posted Image

this is how the cork attaches.
Posted Image

thats all I have right now please tell me your thoughts!

edit: I wish I could make it longer but my pieces are telling me not to. (I'm almost out of yellow rods and gray)

OMG! Realy nice, but it's about time you got some (constructive) crititism.
1.The "heartlining" on the top hat.....I'm sorry, just, terrible (I know I can't do anything better, but i don't have the pieces to -_-) It should be more like this:
Posted Image
On your coaster it moves over to the left too much, that also make the coaster look wonky, because the supports on the right side are closre then on the left side.
2.On my Fallen Angle coaster the pre drop turn is the same radius (sp?) as yours going into the startion, but you have a giant drop, please can you lower it, because, in my opinion, it looks bad.

The heartlining only looks bad because the cars are large compared to the tophat. Maybe unheartline it a little bit; even though it won't be perfectly heartlined it'd look pretty good.

^^ ok thanks. I will unheartline them a bit.

I just finished it and I got the tubing fitted right and that would mess it up so I don't think Im going to do that. (I wish I could)

^thank you.

I just got finished with iron eye! YEAHHH! at 11.20!
