Gump approves. Move on to the insane airtime hill!

[VV Khan]

Oh my god...Gump approves!

Great job it looks so smooth and stable.

^I'm as shocked as you are! The only change I made to the whole thing was raise it about a blue rod. Hopfully I'll get 3/4 of the airhill done today.

[Jogumpie]

I just found this picture on my hard drive... it may come in handy, ghehe.

That picture makes me feel all warm inside!

Thought you send it to me already, a year ago or so.

[Antinos]

So far so good. It's a little steep and it could be a bit more pointy, but it's good enough. Let's see that airtime hill!

[Maverix]

Well belive it or not my power went out just before I posted the airtime hill last night so here it is.







So as you can see it barely makes it over. I'm thinking about lowering it but if you guys think it's fine then o.k.

[VV Khan]

It looks good to me but do you think you'll have enough speed for the rest of the layout? Its a long ride.

[Coasteradict]

make it about a granite lower, since if it's pee roling over atm you're not going to get the next overbank with is bigger than that hill

Edit: try makeing trhe lift hill taller, since just under double the hight of the first hill.

[CP-ephY]

How can he possibly make the lift taller without putting in hours of pointless work? I think if you can get the train to climb the next element you'll be fine for the rest of the coaster. It almost looks like it's higher than the hill.

One other thing I notice was that the over banked turn is more V shaped than U on the real coaster. I think you should try at least to just change the shape on yours. It shouldn't be too difficult.

wow this is turning out awesome eater make the lift taller or make the hill a little shorter.

hmm after watching the video again you could try making the first hill a little taller it might give you the speed you need.

[Coaster55]

I'd keep the height of the hill, I like the speed it goes over it.

Try pushing down on the track in the pullouts and see if the track moves a good amount. If it does, add another support, I did this with SheiKra and it had a little more speed.

[KnexRollerCoasterMaker]

well by the speed you need to finish this ride and to use a booster here would look terrible so the white rods in the middle of the hill could go to black or you could try to make the hill a little less steeper?

[maverickcoaster25]

looks great so far. love the airtime and overbank, its definitely going to be tight with how long the ride is though.

[Maverix]

Well I finaly got around to building. I made the second overbank and the half overbank turn after it, which still needs to be supported ant the top. Right now it makes it over but with little speed. I think it's fine though.











I'll get a test video up once my camera re-charges.

[PlanetSaturn56]

Looks good, but the pull-out of the second overbank looks a little straight.

[the_burrito_master]

wow amazing coming along great!

except for some bumps in the 2nd over bank. the first one you show. the third is fine.

EDIT: are you entering this into moty or tm?

[Antinos]

You need to make that pullout inbetween the two turns curving, according to that picture that Gump posted.

[drummer/coaster3]

I know this is 5 days old, but is this ever going to get finished or is it already finished?

[PlanetSaturn56]

Are you high? As if this site didn't hate you already...
