ya. thats really nice. also i used to have a backyard like that. till i moved to the beach and now my backyard is rocks and a lagoon, otherwise id be building in my backyard.

The bottom of the pull out/in is super tight. But that's the only thing.

[BuilderBoy]

Are you going to support the top? I think you could build a support to the side, maybe with some laterals, and then a beam accross the top, then another support on the other side with laterals. Then, it would be better.

I've got an idea if you have lots of extra tubing.

Maybe thread the tubing through the middle of the X-ties to give it more support. It'll stay in place pretty good and hopefully keep the shape the same; after all, the forces could easily deform it. Most of the loop looks great, though!

[Special25]

How fast is the launch going to be because you dont want it to fly through the loop to fast.

[Jplaz]

^^Doing that can scrape parts of tubing. I had a few half-moons threaded by tubing under the station so I didn't have to splice it and the connectors scraped it...

[TripleHelix]

Just put it in carefully. Only problem is that it'd take forever to thread every tie... :durh

I have redone the pull in/outs of the loop and they look much better. What do you guys think I should do after the the loop. I was thinking maybe another loop into an overbank or an immelmann after the loop. I will have pics of it later tonight I just need to know what to do.

Please Comment

Yeah loop or Immelmann next, and If its a loop immelmann after that! Then have it exit and he at lowest point with banking of 45* pointing towards the last loop than cork through it!

[/\ero]

I agree with minimoggi, Its lookin good keep up the good work

[Chubs33]

^I know your new put that was spam. Make a post that can help the builder in some way.

I am having a hard time trying to grasp what kind of ride this is... because a loop wouldn't go with a Maverick-type ride. But maybe a horse shoe roll? Or something relating to a Zero G seems like it could fit in there.

[CoasterBuilder]

Interesting... Everything looks pretty good. As mentioned previously, the pullout needs to be much longer.

Also, I would consider adding more support to the drop and loop. With the extra speed from the launch, I would expect the pullouts to be more heavily supported.

But really, this coaster looks very promising. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this coaster

[Jplaz]

Now all we need is an Immelmann on an Intamin coaster! Hooray for un-realism!!!

No but seriously don't do an Immelmann.

[KCM32]

Well the double loops are done and don't look to bad. I still have to add a couple more lateral supports and some more supports to strengthen the pull ins/outs. I know that this layout isn't realistic for a launched coaster but I like it. I also need a cool paint scheme for the cars. I plan on attaching this to the lift hill on my next day off which will be thursday. Here are the pics of the loops:

the left loop is a little round

[Mikecoastermaniac]

the second loop looks flat

[VV Khan]

Yeh but remember he's adding laterals later and take into account the difficulty of building with these supports. I think they look great.

[christian]

^ Exactly. It's gotta be hard to shape with those supports. It looks perfect.

[LCAL]

The supports have nothing to do with the shape. The second loop is just a little flat, which he can fix.

[nickostick]

They are right. If he can shape the first one right he can shape the second one right. Just shape the second one and it will look perfect .

Edit: Move in the last support farthest to the left in that picture to the right. Then it will be perfect shape.
