^agreed. the coaster looks great so far! i like it how you conserved the pieces on the lift and didnt make it that tall because there is going to be a launch soon. there are some weird things that are going on at the crest and middle of the drop, bu you guys probably already fixed them. nice teamwork.

[Coaster55]

I'll get the side view and look at those spots on the drop tomorrow, we weren't able to work on it today.

More updates tomorrow.

[crazywhizz100]

very nice can u show a picture of the front view of the drop

[mtlfootballer10]

very well done. i love the banking
BTW, can a mod move this to construction since there are pictures?

[CuteLittleBunny23]

sorry guys about no updates. my internet at my house is down. ( im at a differnet house right now) and marching band is taking up most of our time. we are still trying to contact people about a launch.

[Cardsandcoasters]

Wow, it looks really really good! The pullout of the drop could be a little bigger, but it's very smooth.

[CuteLittleBunny23]

ok not much updates, but heres the brakes.

[Airtime]

Cool! Teamwork is nice. It goes faster than I thought it would!

[coaster37]

wow those breaks work really good!

[pkiknex25]

Why would you guys let that speed go to waste???

[CuteLittleBunny23]

because there is a launch next and its pretty realistic to put brakes b4 a launch section. should it have power in the brakes? like slow it down more?

[TripleHelix]

No, he means you should do a hill or corkscrew or helix, whatever, to use up that speed instead of wasting it with brakes.

[coastermaniac]

Yeah I agree with ^^^ You should do something like an inverted horseshoe like Maverick it would be insane.

[nickostick]

Looks good but i don't know if it's just me or the angle but some of those transitions look weird. Like little mini drops or something. It could be heart-line but i just cant put my finger on it. You can see it in the movies start up picture.

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

You just have too much speed going into the brakes and launch. I vote that instead of that last turn, you put something like a corkscrew or invertedc horseshoe.

[CuteLittleBunny23]

Updates: we decided to go with you guys and we put in one of mavericks horseshoes. it didnt make it untill we lubed the track, lubed the wheels, and heavily weighted the cars. 16 pennies under each car.
Coaster55 also sped the chainlift up by using a smaller gear to the red gear. its hard to DO because of all the super GLUE. (ignore the ryme).

And before you say anything about the horseshoe, compare the pic of maverick and our horseshoe, they both have small pull ups. and they both snap over the top. we modeled it after that pic of maverick

Whoa. I'm just now checking out this thread for this week, and it looks incredible. Great speed, and shaping. The launch will fit in beautifully. Way to go!

[coastermaniac]

Awesome coaster guys I love it ! I'm looking for the rest. Will you keep the same layout after the lauch?

EDIT: woohoo 400 post !!!

[Jplaz]

That first turn looks painful. Oh well, the rest looks good.

[Airtime]

In the second pic, the short red neon flexi is creating a small straight part. I would suggest you use a small white rod and just snap it on the two x-ties that sandwich the gray connector.

EDIT: I like the guitar! (whoever's it is)
