Finally I decide to build a coaster. This will probably be my only coaster for a long time due to school. Anyway, I've decided to make a wildmouse. I've never seen one on this site, but correct if I'm wrong. This may take long to build (due to my slow building). For the layout I was thinking: Left turn out of the station, Lift (probably 2ft.), left turn, left turn, right turn, left turn, drop, left turn, left turn. Yah, a bunch of left turns. I also need name suggestions. Comment:)

[decaxxeca]

sounds nice and ya the left turns are abundant

[christian]

Construction has started on the lift. Here's the pics:
Support style:

Space I have (there's more space to the left):

I still need some name suggestions. Please comment. Also, can a mod move this to construction?

[Britfag]

it should have an 80* lift, or something higher than 45*

Wild Mouse's are meant to be compact, no?

[christian]

^ I think. I'll try it. Update tomorrow (sp?).

[Spitfire]

I don't know what he's talking about, every wild mouse I've been on has had a 45* angle lift or less. I think you've got the perfect lift angle, keep going!

[lilmikemarin]

Yeah, the lift is fine at 45degrees..

[Britfag]

^^ I've been on only one with 45* lift, the other 7 had over. 40*
anyway, you got a good bit o' space. Good luck! Lol

[christian]

Poop, I already finished the lift at higher than 45*. I can fix it. Update today.

[Spitfire]

^^ Alright Mini, you've got me. They weren't all on RCT, were they? :grinbou

^ Get those pics up ASAP, I'm dieing to see what an SS Wild mouse will look like!

[Britfag]

lol DJwouter14 Or whatever his name is has made one!

nah they were at random touring fairgrounds,

[christian]

^^ Okay, okay. Hold on. I was at a haircut. Sorry. They should be up about 2:15. I'm building now.

[christian]

Sorry for the long wait. My friend paid an unexpected visit. And after that I had to go to piano lessons. Anywho, I finished the lift. Gears might be installed tomorrow. I say might because I'm going to a Cub's game tomorrow, and on Thursday I'm going to Great America (I live like an hour away)! Pics:
Lift:

Crest:

Please comment.

Cool, but a little small. Maybe make it 1-2 green rods taller? I don't think that'll make it through the layout you've planned. Other than that, not much to comment on, so continue!

[Airdog]

Its really small raise it at least 2 reds.And the crest is fine.

[CoasterBuilder]

It looks pretty good, but its not much yet. As ^ pointed out, it needs to be raised if you want a decent layout. Also, the LL tubing should not be used if it can be helped, but its okay for the station/lift. But anyways, a new wildmouse sounds interesting. Not too many of them are built around here nowadays.

[christian]

^ Will do. Remember I'm going to Great America tomorrow. Update maybe Friday or Saturday.

[christian]

Okay, update with no pics. And nobody's posting. I have raised it but my camera is being worked on. I think the crest is okay. Pics maybe on Friday or Saturday.

[Panchuk]

Why would we post when you didnt update?

[christian]

^ You could post about the crest. Any other comments?
