I'll be building a 3 1/2 ft. tall hyper for my next coaster. I think that I have a layout planned, but I'll have to see if it works. Note that some parts of the drop have already been changed. I know that some parts are bumpy, but you guys can help . Let the pics say the rest......


POV- Yes, it's bumpy.










Sorry about the mess, try to ignore it. I'll clean it up.
Comment!!!!!

otherwise, very good.

Smooth. I like it. Just a couple bumps. Fix them. And it will be good.

[DDRman732865]

Just a few bumps, and connect the track to the structure more.

Otherwise, nice.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

looks like an arrow drop.
fix bumps! add supports!

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

^It looks like an Arrow drop? I guess that's bad....

I added more supports and smoothed it out a little bit. I also started on the pullout of the next element, a buckel/helix thing. Pics tomorrow.....

[VV Khan]

Cool I'm liking the look of this. Got any pics of the layout or can you just tell us. Looking forward to updates.

I doesn't really seem like a hyper with that drop.

More of an arrow like MCM said.

^Oh, I see.
Should I change it to a predrop, turn then drop? Or I could just make it a looper, but I already have a hyper layout....

Speaking of layout, ^^, It is turning drop (or turn around, then drop if I change it), buckel/helix thing (half buckel, then it turns to the right and does a 270 degree downward helix), over bank under the lift, camel back, helix, bunny hops, station, 180 turn to the left into lift. I could draw it up if you want.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

[Jplaz]

hmm....speed will be an issue i predict....

Sounds good though, remember overbanks kill speed...

[DJMK]

And how many sets/pieces do you have?

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

^ 2 ss, 1 rr, 1 Big Air Ball Factory, 1 serpents spiral, 1 renegade run, and some more smaller sets.
UPDATE
I added more supports and tried smoothing it out. I also added a bit more-
The bump at the bottom of the drop is an illusion-










Comment, and thanks.

[RCmaniac31]

really good, just make the bottom of the drop(the part on the ground), more curved so it "flows".


RC

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

I had alot of trouble with the buckel. It didn't make it very high at all. I tried everything, but none worked. Also, a huge bump appeared on the drop, so I took the turning drop and half buckel down. I'm sorry that I didn't ask you guys about taking it down, but I was really frusterated(sp?). BUT, that dosen't mean that this is canceled. Just a completely new layout.


What is up with this stupid crest?






Enjoy and comment!

[RCmaniac31]

its fine that you took the turning drop down...

Now it looks more like a hyper.

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

^ Thanks for the comment RC.

I have a pretty big update. The pennies in the seats of the train will be moved to the bottom of the cars.















Enjoy, and please COMMENT.

[RCmaniac31]

wow, sweet drop.
theres really nothing to support on

Keep going,


RC

In some of the earlier pictures the gears are a bit too low...but that's all I see.

[AvalancheX]

There is nothing wrong with it, continue.
^Good observation. Bad placement of gears can ruin your day.

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

^lol
^^ Thanks, I'll be sure to do that when the coaster is finished.
^^^Thanks!

There will be an update tomorrow (or possibly later tonight) with the turning drop and half of an airtime hill.
