There's a straight part inbetween the cobra roll and the loop.

[Jplaz]

Loop could be smaller, it looks fairly big....

[rollercoasterfreak]

^ That and the track can go down to the floor.

[Chubs33]

No the problem is definently the straight part. If you watch closely you can see the train jolt at the bottom. Damn you have a good eye Gump.

[nickostick]

The straight part causes it to slow like the rest said and.. Fix it with some strong side supports if you stop the shacking I'm 100% sure it will make the loop with that speed.

Like you guys said, I am going to go ahead and put the loop on the floor. Unfortunately, I am almost out of red rods again so I will take some UNNESESSARY red rods out of the cobra roll.

EDIT: I have taken unessecary rods out of the cobra roll, but now my new loop is fustrating me because it is very sharp in some areas, while it is very straight in others.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

Take the people out of the trains. The people shake around, causing the train to slow down. If you can give us pics of the loop, we can help you.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

you say you have 4 ss's and your almost out of red rods?
red rods dont even come in the ss.

[Jplaz]

He probably includes the metallic green ones as "red", they're all the same length....

[Mikecoastermaniac]

he only made 1 cobra roll...there is no way!

[Jplaz]

SS comes with 112 green/red/orange/beige rods....times 4 is 448...you're right, there no way...with 2 SS and many peices on an existing coaster I had enough for a cobra roll...plus I don't think he used any on the launch....

[Airtime]

It is kind of weird that I don't have enough red rods. Yes, I mean mettalic green/red/beige/orange rods when I say red rods. Saying red rods is just a habit.

[Airtime]

Technically this is not a double post. Phew lol!

Update time!

Here is the loop that I made:


After correcting:


is this smooth enough?


A vid!


Also, if you say it is bumpy, please tell me where it is bumpy!

[Mikecoastermaniac]

you should add some lateral supports to the loop

[VV Khan]

Yeh, it seems to wobble quite a bit.

[Airtime]

^^ Good call. I was going to add some but I forgot to before I took a vid.

^ Don't feel bad about your sig. I actually like the picture!

EDIT: what should I do next?

[Airtime]

UMM... Why isn't anyone commenting?

[Maverix]

^dude please don't bump a thread just because people aren't commenting. They most likly aren't commenting because everthing they would have said has already been said or they don't have anything to say. Just give us another update and just don't worry about people commenting, by doing what you did it is less likely people will comment. And plus the fact it has only been one day!!!!!!!!!!! Just be pashent.

[Airtime]

Okey-dokey. Sorry. I will try to be more patient. BTW, I am currently making a stengel dive/nitro turn right now.

[DJMK]

Those are two different things.
