My first coaster on SScoaster is going to be a compact woodie with twisted drops and some crossovers. I was thinking of doing a layout like the Coney Island Cyclone, or more of a CCI layout. The coasters will be about 10 or 12 blue rods tall. But dont worry I will be using a lot of piece saving methods. Also I could add a tunnel or two. I will try to get pictures this weekend.:)

Before you guys criticize him for building too big, look here, he's actually pretty good.

Not much else to say.

Alright well at least your rides dont look like complete trash...

I would focus on the shaping of the turning drops and embankments on everything, you seem to have a little problem, which is completely understandable, with making a smooth transition into and out of banking.

Wow thanks guys. I know I'm not the best at shaping and banking. But thats what I came here for. As for the coaster I was thinking of doing the CCI, but with more of an out and back layout.

I built the lift and the drop. I think its ok, but tell me what you think. Also the droop is supposed to be straight, because most CCI drops are.

i was going to critisize you


Lol.

The crest may be a little too big, and there's a sharp spot on the top. Other than that it's nice and smooth.

The crest is kind of sharp. The pull-out needs to be bigger too. But we actually have a new member that can build!

EDIT: ^ kcm2256 is wrong there's no bump in anything, the only two problems i already said.

Ok, thanks guys. I'll fix the crest. Also do you think the pullout is to small, should I make it bigger.

EDIT:I fixed the crest and I think it looks better. Next I was thinking of doing 135 degree Nitro turn in to a CCI turn like on Boss or Villan. The Nitro turn hopefully be around 7 or 8 blue rods, and th CCI turn will be around 5 to 6 blue rods. Comments.
