^ Good idea but from my perspective, it looks like he doesn't have the speed to make it larger.

yeah dude, the immlemanns are half the size of the drop, he could probably bring it to the top of the red gears

^No, I can't. The immlemanns are 7 granite, and the drop is 10 granite. I tried 8, but it doesn't work.

I might lubricate them more, that's probably what I need.

^THAT was exactly what i was thinking. hey DDRMAN, you told me once at i think DEADLY SIDEWINDER to make my elements big to have more speed after them. so you should make them bigger if you are going to have lots more elements after those immelmans.


That's different. That was a 5 foot drop with 2 foot elements. This is a 7/10 ratio.

They're fine. Does it matter if they're absolutely as high as they can be? It's good to have them pretty high, but 7/10 is pretty damn good if you ask me.

He's counting the supports, though, so it's really a 6/10; but move on, since you can't make them taller.

Ok, I was wrong, I could make it taller. You guys posted while I was working on it.

The gray rods attached to each other show where the immlemanns are compared to the drop. For some reason it looks funny, but I'll let you guys be in charge on determining that.

It looks good. If it does clear that, I would just build the second one and continue. It seems that your pullup is a little to long, if you dont know what I mean look at picture 2 and see how sharp it is where it goes vertical.

I agree with Steel but if it does make it through the 8/10 or 7/10 whatever it is thats a pretty darn good effort. Keep us updated :P

Guys, I ran out of pieces and red track, so I have to cancel...







Just kidding.

I have never canceled a coaster ever, and I don't plan to (not in the near future at least).

I acutally have another rippin rocket on the way. But I need to work on the immlemanns more, a few tweaks here and there, so no update today, but hopefully by tomorrow. (they are really pissing me off.)

Yes I know that, I just start my immlemanns like this (I don't know why).

Update later today.
