hey guys I have some more pics. havnt had a lot of time to work on fire fall. Im having trouble with my banked curve (pic 3). So if you could help me with that that woud be good.

Drop: Don't use grey rods. Use flexies and don't have a straight part.

Pullout: Make it bigger and don't have a straight part.

Hill: Make it less sharp and make the pullout/in bigger. Also don't have straight parts.

Turn: Don't do a 90o bank. Do 45o. Also make it not so tight, you will lose alot of speed.

In the second and first picture is that a headchopper?

[Outerlimits659]

I think it is.......those riders better duck! Anyway you need to do what ^^suggested. And instead of a ground level curve, an overbank might be better.
BTW Couldn't you make hill #2 a little taller???

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

i tried making it taller but it doesnt have enough speed.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

^ the reason it wont go faster is because your curves are too tight and you need to connect more supports to you track. if the track gives when the train go along it, then that will slow it down a lot.
Heres a good tutorial for people who have simple questions. It is quite helpful, and I suggest you use it for reference: http://www.sscoaster...read.php?t=6521

Hey I tore down the second hill on my coater and instead I put on a Cobra roll. Tell me how you like it and what I need to fix. For some reason the roller coaster can't go over the second part of the cobra roll. i know that it has enough speed but could not figure it out. Please tell me whats wrong on the cobra roll.

[Airdog]

Trust me you can make it taller, You have to support everything more, lube your trains weight them, and fix that hill. I want you to look at and your hill look at a hill on monacrhy tell me which one is the way it should look. This is what you should do make the pullout 2 reds, 1 red straight spot, and a 1 red crest for one half of the hill. Also put silcone spray on the axles of your cars.

Use it, it's better than what you have now.

To embed videos, do this.

[youtube] video ID [/youtube*] But remove the *.

http://www.youtube.com/v/OBq2LtFOT7A The bold part is the video ID. This one doesn't work because you embedded the raw file.

Dude put some more crossties on your cobra roll. There are 2 huge spots where there are no crossties. And like ^^^^^ said lube the trains and weight them. Plus support it more. Your supports cant shake or bend at all and the track should not bend or move when the car goes over it. Can we see a vid?

[Coaster55]

You need to add a lot more supports if it doesn't make a cobra roll less than half the size of the drop. Try lubing your cars, but don't weight them unless your supports are strong enough.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

^^^ that is the cobra roll I made.

[DDRman732865]

Oh, I couldn't recognize it. Well it's bumpy as hell, add crossties in that huge gap without them, and then we'll talk.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

I put crosties in and its not bumpy any more

[Jogumpie]

Have you re-done the pull-out?

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

sorry whats he pull in and pull out again

[Jogumpie]

The lowest part between the drop and the cobra roll.
