Ha ha I love how you put "PLEASE COMMENT SO I CAN BUILD" in red bold. Its funny because I do the same thing and no one comments me either...

So I guess I will comment yours....


It looks a ton like the original one so I say, MOVE ON!

[DeAzncy]

can we get a side view of that hill? btw it looks great so far.

[KCB Designs]

Thanks for commenting.
For DeAzncy-

(sorry, its the best I could do with the space)
What I'm working on now. Please don't tell me about how bumpy it is, I'm just letting you know what I'm working on now.

wow SoF..
Nice, really smooth,,

[VV Khan]

Nice supports, even more complicated than the reguar SoF! Great job!

[Jogumpie]

They don't look that hard.
Anyway, your lowest SoF support causes a bump.

[nickostick]

I liked the first one better cause it looks like the ride supports.

[Arod]

It's looking good if you ask me.

[KCB Designs]

Thanks to all that commented.

I liked the first one better cause it looks like the ride supports.

- If your talking about the airtime hill, it is still the same.
Here is a pic to clear things up.

This is the area that I am working on.
Now, here are some better pics of the SoF supports.

Let me know when you want a test video too.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

add more cross ties, and the middle tubing and smoothe it out.
right now its very bumpy

[KCB Designs]

Better?

Yes, I know, I need to make the second to last SoF support needs to be taller.

[CoasterBuilder]

Better, definitely. There's still a few minor bumps, but its not too bad. My best advice right now would be to add some sort of lateral bracing. I know its just a hill, but the supports look rather weak and speed consuming.

[DeAzncy]

other than the small bumps still barely left, all looks great and add some diagonal supports because i seems like it will just fall over when the train travels through it...

[KCB Designs]

Crap. It doesn't make it up the second hill. I've tried lubing the track, doesn't work. The train was recently lubed, and that is also not working. So my options are:
1) Make the lift taller
Or
2) Add a RR booster at the end of the first hill.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Edit: I forgot to mention that my cars are weight with a dollar (in quarters) under the first three cars.

[PlanetSaturn56]

Weight your trains. Mess around with the number of cars in the train..

[Coaster55]

If your supports are strong enough, weight the cars with 20 pennies. Four stacks of four in a square, with another stack of four in the middle of the square. Put it under the cars so each stack of the four are over a hole and the middle one in the center.

[maverickcoaster25]

looks good and i like the supports you are using. keep up the good work.

[KCB Designs]

Well for my speed situation(sp?) I'm doing what Coaster55 said, so lets hope that it works. If not I'll raise the lift hill. In the mean-time though I have finished the SoF supports and the first of two MCBR's. (On the SoF supports I haven't done any lateral or diagonal bracing because that comes when the twister(not sure if thats the right term?) section goes through it).

Overview of SoF and MCBR-

Please comment so I can continue building.

[Britfag]

Dude. That looks SO good.

[Coaster55]

Looks great, but it might need some side supports. Also, that's not an MCBR, it's just a straight spot before it drops again.
