I have started my new coaster "Pile Driver". I will include 3 inversons including a loop, drive loop and a half corkscrew through the loop.I should have pictures of the lift/drop tommorow. :)

I am doing the same drop and I will have the loop like snake eyes but the rest of the layout is not promising.

^^^No, I'm not working with him, I'm just saying it's kind of pointless to move this to upcoming models and then move it back the next day. Anyway, you should change your layout it looks bad when someone copies someone else even if they don't mean to. For a different layout you could include an inclined loop or a batwing to make it orignal. Or just a different mix of normal inversions.

How about the same drop?At the end I am going to have a part at the end that will be a pile driver and the train wil just miss it
I am just adding on to what I put this morning.This is going to be a very short coaster.It will also be a hand crank lift untile I get a electric moter.

Woah, the crest is HUGE. Make it a bit smaller. Also, there's a bump on the drop right after the turning part. It's in the second picture, but not in the first. Lastly, the loop is too circular. Other than that, good.

Wow, this is better than I expected from a noob(no offence), but like Mr. FreezeFreak said the loop is too circular, it should be more upside-down teardrop shaped. I'd also support the corkscrew more too.

^Yes, shape the loop like that and you'll be good. Just remember to fix the bump on the drop, and try to make the crest smaller.
