i was thinking about trying this. but i decided i was too inexperienced. im also not very good with the tube supports. im pretty sure ur gonna run out of grays and whites a lot. if not. its also gonna be pretty hard to make a coaster this high with them.

Dude, if you pull this off, and get a little more respect here (you definantly will if you make this awesome, and not bumpy) you have a great shot at MOTY. But I predict you'll run out of pieces. Good luck! I'd really like to see this come through.

With this width, you shouldn't build it taller than 8 or 9 feet.

Sweet looking, how are you going to launch it? I don't think it can handle a high speed one. Don't make it too high and you are good.

Awesome ! Really cool. You canceled you invert ? You should maybe make KK instead because with green rod it would looks almost the same. But you do what you want.

^ thanks! your tube supported coaster (I cant remember the name of it) was turning out amazingly it's a shame you have to cancel.

^^ thanks

Well anything over 7 feet should use rubber bands to accually work. But you could suprise me with some new launch. And the tower looks great so far.
