Ok, with M80 completely dismantled I finally decided it was time to do my first recreation, WildThing At my home park of ValleyFair! I've been planning this one since I first started building custom coasters. I finaly think I have enough experience to build it. Enough talk, lets get to the pics.
WlidThing's Drop

My Drop

Hill

I think I'm close on the drop, but I need your imput to make this coaster my best so far. So please point out any imperfections you may see through out this build. Thanks for the help.

[Airdog]

I think the pullout needs to be bigger its cool your making a recre will this be for the moty.

[NitroRyder33]

Your steep lift may throw everything out of proportion.

[Airdog]

dude his lift is not steep it isabout 37 degrees (just an esstimate0 which is less than the normal lift hill at 45 degrees so its not steep.

[CP-ephY]

It's actually more around 33.85 degrees.

[lazor 22]

^^Not that many coasters have 45o lifts, including Wild Thing. Its just a standerd for Knex because the connecters. Good job so far.

[KCB Designs]

I will not enter this one into MOTY contest, I was thinking more for the TM. Anyway, I fixed the pullout of the drop.


Constructive criticism is wanted
Now, to fix the crest.

[drummer/coaster3]

Direct side pic of crest?

[KCB Designs]

Here's the side pic of the crest (not fixed yet).

Again, constructive criticism is needed!

Well it looks good but the top of the hill looks a little bumpy

[Airtime]

On the real one the crest is pointed, so I say just work on smoothing it out. Unless that's what you were going to do in the first place. Then I just wasted my breath. :iyes

[Maverix]

There are still a lot of bumps and straight parts in the pull-out.

[KCB Designs]

Thanks for commenting.
But now, here is the fixed crest.


And the possibly fixed drop.

(If you notice in the picture of wildthing in the first post, the drop has a some-what straight part)
Please tell me if anything needs to be changed or fixed, thanks.

[Jplaz]

I think the second drop (POST 7) was the best so far.

[KCB Designs]

^It wasn't fully put together like in post 7.
Well it is that time again.
WildThings hill-

My hill-

pull in-

almost finished pull out-

Comments are wanted.

[Jplaz]

Looks good, and I like how your using the same support structure.

[KCB Designs]

^Thanks, thats what I'm going for-realism
How does this pull-out look to you?

Comment Please!!! Come on, 2 days with no comments? I'm tring to make this my best.

[Coasteradict]

No the pull out needs to be longer.

[KCB Designs]

Is this any better?

PLEASE COMMENT SO I CAN CONTINUE BUILDING

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

Looks much better, there are a few bumps, but if you put all the tubing on, it will probably fix itself. Good job!
