yep...looks more like an airtime hill than a wooden coaster hill. but like DDRMAN said, if it makes it, you can keep it.

I'd Prefer you make its less steep but that would be one hell of an airtime hill on a real coaster ^_^ so keep it.

Unique, but can we have a side view of the pullups? (Are you trying to hide zem from us? hmm?)

Ah I see another Minnesotian has found this site.

Now you need to take a side view so we can see the pull-ups and pullouts and I'm feeling you did this on purpose so we can't see the bumps.

^ Yep, another has.
This will be the last up-date till next week. I'm going to Cedar Point for the week.
Any way, back to the up-date. I built a hill that will come after the turn-around.

And here is the pull-in and pull-out of the turn.

Random fact- It takes $3 worth of qaurters to make the train go up the first hill.

3rd pic, pullouts are too small and bumpy.

1st pic, hill is not symmetrical.

I am not trying to be mean if I sound like it :)

^ The hill isn't symmetrical because it is changing heights. I'll fix the pull out when I get back home.

It looks good to me. The pullout is much better, but the hill after the turn looks sharp on top. It might be the angle though. Good job!

Looks great, I'm surprised at how many pieces you have. Can we have a test video? If I were you I'd be getting back to the station straight away, there can't be THAT much speed left right?

Actually...

I have a decent amount of speed left. Maybe enough for a helix(hint, hint), but first I need to buy more yellow/granite rods cause I'm almost out. I might possibly buy another car too. I'll also have the test video when I get my camera back.

Awesome, sounds good. If I were you I would definitely buy another middle car for speed and it looks cooler and more realistic. I thought you would have run out of granites by now :P

^ The thing is, I have.
Due to my granite piece shortage there will be no helix.
I have also built a station but I'll have pics of that tommarrow.

I think you should do a helix and if you dont have enough granites, try to make one with blue rods...without the helix, it is kind of boring. btw, the coaster looks great.
