Okay, four major things that need to be fixed.
1. First, you need to add WAY more track ties. don't go max, but make it like 4-5 per flexi.
2. You also need to straighten your track alot. unsmooth track is a major speed killer.
3. 3rd, you need to have a constant base rod, and add as many diagonals as you can. This will increase strength of your tower.
4. Finally, I would like a direct side view of the pull in and pull out. They look sharp.
please don't think I am being mean, (this coaster has potential) but I am just giving you pointers to make your coaster sweet!
EDIT: I like how you made the tower 180* at the top! that's origional!

yeah you need more pieces to make a custom. its great that you really want to do this though you should probably make a small coaster with a ton of supports at first way to go though
trust me ive made two coasters with two sets its not easy i know what you are trying to do. way to go though!
edit: dont let the big time coaster makers get you down just keep buildin your way

yeah, Mophead is right, with an SS you can afford about 4-5 maybe even (if your lucky) 6.. per flexi,
6 isnt needed exept maybe on any pullouts / pullins, (where the G's are max-ed)
then i see its a rubber band launch, and your trying to make a station, urrh, what I'd reccomend, would be to put a short station at the very start of the straight on the launching side,
so you could maybe just push it out and pull the rubber band back?

aye, but in pullouts, and pullins where the train is pushing all its kenetic energy through the coaster, it wants to go straight, but its gonna use up all its force going on an unsmooth pullout or in, so because it looks like a nice smaller coaster, im sure with one SS you could afford 6 Crossties per flexi on the pullins and outs,

Posted 20 April 2008 - 05:40 AM
Mate for one of your first cutoms I think its fine. Its good that it has a station aswell. For your next coaster I recommend A very small one maybe 3 greys high if that and work on your shaping and structure. Can't wait for pics!

it looks quite good for a first, (i believe its a first, yeah?)
but on most launch coasters,
when it gets to the spike of the hill, (like Kingda Ka, Stealth Etc..)

they tend to have a twist, so the coaster car ends up on the top,

i could just spot it had turned after the twist in that. so when it gets to the top, the car is on top not on its side,
but yeah its pretty cool over all

Yeh I forgot to say that. Like on 99/100 launch coasters, They twist at the top so its flat like in Stealth, Kingda Ka, Top Thrill Dragster etc. But its a learning progress. Kudos to you young builder! 6.574/10
