Holy Sh!t thats good! Its realllyyyy fast though. I want to see what other people have to say before I say anything else!

[DeAzncy]

that looks AMAZING!!!!!! i think that you should either take off a car on the train, OR make the overbank a bit bigger because the train goes way too fast over it. looks really good though.

This coaster is insane!
I love the drop/over bank.

DDRman732865,
Yes I am going to Cedar Point with my school. I wake up at five, get to school at 5:50, then a 2 1/2 bus ride.

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

Wow, it looks great too me. I know that the overbank is supposed to be a high speed element, but it looks like it goes TOO fast over it. I would say raise it, oh, say, a long gray rod if possible.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

If I try to raise it, it will take so much work/reshaping. Its about accurate to MF's first overbank, other than the exit of the overbank is closer to the pull out of the first drop.

Any ideas for a layout?

[Coaster55]

That looks amazing, the only thing I noticed was that on MF, the highest point of the overbank is at an angle to the drop. On yours, the highest point is parallel to the drop, it's not really worth fixing though.

Next I think you should do a huge airtime hill, bigger or the same size as the overbank.

Is there anyway you could move this somewhere else with more room so you could build a recre?

[Mikecoastermaniac]

^If I was to build a re-creation, I would have to go back and fix the overbank, partically remove it, then postion the drop in some sort of way so I can recreate MF. But even after all of that I would have to order at least 4 more sets to finish it.

[Antinos]

Those supports on the lift need to go. Just make them straight, it doesn't make that much of a difference. The overbanked turn is also a bit too skinny.

[coastermaniac]

Maybe an airtime hill and a stengel dive somewhere, other than that that is superb!

[Mikecoastermaniac]

^^Too bad I cant go back and change them, it be too much work. I like them, and they dont affect anything. I'll try to make the overbank a little wider. Anyone else think that it is too skinny? Before I go changing things around. Becuase if it is too skinny I might as well make it taller. (waits for Jogumpie, SN, TH, or RCT)

[pkiknex25]

Yeah, I'd make it taller and wider. I still like the lift supports though, it adds something unique to it, recreation or not.

[msoccerkidm]

the coaster looks nice i think you should definatley make the overbanked turn higher, or something but it looks good.

[VV Khan]

Hehe grats on 500th^

Dam dude thats amazing, if you could make it bigger try to, 9/10 because I think it could be bigger

[Jogumpie]

Taller and wider. Proportions within the overbank are correct, but the overbank itself is too small compared to the drop. Other than that, I love it!

[TripleHelix]

Erm, you requested my help...

...they said it all!

But definitely make a mongo-massive epic airtime hill after it to keep the speed and to have a good anchor of how much you still have left.

Testing from the top of the drop can be unreliable; if you drop it from the top of the mongo hill, then it'll pretty much always make it through the rest if it makes it over the hill. You DEFINITELY won't want to redo a giga layout if it stopped making it.

[KCB Designs]

I know it sounds crazy, but have you thought of putting a hammerhead over the lift?

[Mikecoastermaniac]

Here is another update. I fixed the overbank, and made it wider/taller. Tell me what you think. I hope it is good this time becuase to me, overbanks are a pain in the ass to make. Too me at least 2 1/2 hours on each one.
