Well the last few weeks I have been losing a lot of interest in dark summit my woodie and I decided to start on a small coaster featuring Jogumpies SOF supports. This does'nt mean that dark summit is cancelled because I will keep that up while I am working on this and will be working on it as well when I want to. I am not really sure how this will turn out because of how hard it is working with these supports but I will try my best. I dont have to much done yet but I do have the lift started and a prelift thing started.Here are the pics:

So far it looks great! Nothing else to really comment on.

Dang tha lift angle is low. It looks good so far. Be ready to have some finger aches though

[Jogumpie]

I love it. I say make a 4D of it. That would certainly fit with that lift.

[coastermaniac]

^I second, A 4-D would be awesome and what would be more awesome is custom trains.
You're courageous to make theses, I tried once , I stopped after the second one and I can't take them off....lol.

[KCM32]

Ok I will try to make this a 4d coaster. I will start trying to make custom cars but cant guarantee that I will use them. Does anyone have an idea for the layout after the lift. I hope to have the lift hill with hardware done by tonight after I get out of work.

Looks nice, maybe after the lift you do a normal 4-D drop into a lie-to-fly, then raven turn then go where you want from there based on speed.

[Airdog]

Well how high is this going to be.And for a layout i would like it to be a looper maybe zero g after the lift i dont think its possible but if you could pull it off that would be amazing.

then after the raven turn maybe twist out (half / full in-line)
then do a half corkscrew..? if you see what i mean, It'd be bizzarre but it'd look cool..

[Verwarold]

Why define the whole ride? Just build one element, and see which element would look nice after that...

Looks great KCM, i like the way you use orange half-moon connectors on the lift...

[knexems]

I tryed usind those supports once and it is way, way, way harder then you think.

Wow KCM, this looks awesome! Hey, a cool idea would be to attach tubing to the orange connecters on the lift. It would look more smooth and elegant to me.

P.S.-Wow that was cheesy...

[Airdog]

Wow i think im going to try this after the next coaster i build and when will there be an update i cant wait.And i know you have enough pieces and skill but what sets do you have.

[KCM32]

Well I am sorry to say that dark summit is coming down except for the lift. I tripped over it this morning and fell on it and destroyed most of the prelift. I will keep the lift hill assembled and hopefully I will find some interest to build it within the next couple months. Besides that the lift hill for this coaster is almost complete and I will post some pics of the finished lift later tonight. The crest on this is being a real pain but I think its looking okay. See you in a few hours.

[Airdog]

Since dark summit is cancelled thats more room for you to work and since the crest is giving you a problem put little black rods on the bottom and white rods on the top it might work.Also that stinks that its cancelled.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

^It's not canceled, he is just not building it right now. That sucks that you fell on it. That almost happened to Surge a few days ago, luckily I had my hands out. This Coaster looks great though! I can't wait to see pictures.

[KCM32]

Well this has been taking me a little longer than I expected. I still have some more supports to put in but I will try to finish that up tonight. I also think that the crest is to big or something and will try to fix that tonight to. I will show you a pic of what I have so far.

[Jogumpie]

Keep that crest! Screw the 4D idea! Make it a launched coaster!

[Coasteradict]

That crest is perfect for a launched coaster. Definatly to a launched coaster, perhaps something like rita, but with an inversion?

-CA

[Mikecoastermaniac]

or you can just make a maverick style ride?
but a lauch sounds sweet too.



1000th post!

[Maverix]

Yeah go with the launched coaster. Maybe use Evil Scotsman's Rampage launch. Maybe have the lauout be like Furius Baco with maybe 1-2 inversions.
