^okay if you mean that my immlemann should be taller, then no way hosea cause it loses too much speed. but im remaking it into a dive loop anyway.

okay well i went back again later today and took pictures of them working on the station. they are fast workers.

the concrete foundation and footers:



adding steel columns:


the roof completed:


an upwards shot from the waiting area:


loading and track supports are up:


okay now heres some videos so please watch and comment. i am trying to find out why i am losing so much speed:

launch:


drop and immlemann:

Longer train and lateral supports. The crest of the lift and the immlemann are both way too shaky.

okay so I went back to the park a couple days ago ( i was laid up because of homework ) and the station looks amazing! heres some pics!

okay so here is completed(almost) station! if there is ANYTHING that you think might even improve it a little, then PLEASE TELL ME! i am going for extreme realism here, so please comment:

okay on to the pics:






please post suggestions and/or comments

fix the supports on the end they look like they are about to break.

^?

Why did you post the video of it not working?
You are a pretty good builder! You seem to have a lot of potential. But one thing on the coaster, a looper made by any company would not have a vertical drop. It dosen't really matter though.

How about....FOCUS on building the freaking coaster before you try to get a "realistic" station. *SIGH*

^I was trying to build a station that would look nice on all my coasters/ and i took a break so i could think about what do do next. Plus building A station will help me get a feel for the coaster.

However, I need some input on a nice turnaround that doesnt lose alot of speed. I was thinking maybe someting like the thing right after the launch on Maverick(is that a stengel dive?) thanks.

Thanks alot for the comments.

VV Khan: I made the train have 3 cars. I will further stabilize the lift+drop when add add other connecting elements(maybe a 1 granite rod high speed hill, HINHINT!)

KC13: if you mean the supports on the brake run right before the station, then they are very sturdy and I added more supports with the catwalks along it. If you mean on the immelman, then I am doing something else(hopefully that doesnt lose mucho speedo)

K'ms: Thanx! umm at first I was gonna do something like maverick(looper), but then it turned into a vertical drop.

PLEASE I NEED IDEAS ON A NICE TURNAROUND
