^nice try, look up search... but no one hase done a flyer with tube supports.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

^^ Rollerdude done a flyer once, I think.
This is cool so far. Maby you could try supporting 4 rods by tower;)

[RCT2123]

Ugh, do you guys not know how to make tube supports?...

You need to alternate gray rods so the brown connectors don't line up. No more than four brown connectors should be in one spot at a time. It's too much of a weak spot...

Here is how it should look...

So...you joined about a week ago, and you're attempting a flying coaster with tube supports, with an impulse coaster and another one still up and under construction...

Unless it's only about 2 grays tall, Im betting this will be cancelled within about a week-and-a-half.

^Nice coaster (the lift).

[MP thrill rides]

My wooden roller coaster got cancelled because I ran out of pieces Im not saying it will work I'm just building this for fun.

[Jogumpie]

Ehm... you have like a bazillion supports...
A little less wouldn't hurt.

[reaperdoctor]

^too many dosen't hurt much either.....

looks pretty sick so far, though im not sure whether you will be able to finish this. its a big one for a side project.

[Britfag]

Wow.
Nice, But a few to many supports, take out one or two xD
it'll save you pieces etc!

[coastergeekrtc]

Why didn't you connect the base of your supports?

[MP thrill rides]

I took out two support towers and it look really cool.^It is so hard to explane how you have to do it with tube supports but I did connect them.

[Britfag]

^ He means like on Stealth, or most other Tube supported coasters,
you just have a rod between the parallel ones, normally people make big grids for footers, etc.
take a closer look at Stealth and Doomsday Machine!

[Coasteradict]

^But not having them look nicer IMO And do what RCT said, alternate the grey rods.

I saved 152 grey rods ^That's going to take a hell of a long time

[RCT2123]

Whatever, don't listen to me with the alternating thing. Without a grid pattern to organize your supports, and without alternating gray rods, tube supports look like crap. So in a sense, this coaster is not looking very good or sturdy. I suggest starting over, just look at my unfinished B&M coasters lift supports, that is how they should be...

[MP thrill rides]

I will make the supports like you said.I will be leaving for thanksgiving and I won't be back for a week please be patient.^You really think it looks like crap.

[the_burrito_master]

^yeah I do too maybe not as bad as crap but I think it looks bad when you do start over dont use box supports to support the track like you did on the lift.

EDIT: I guess you cant go any bigger.

[MP thrill rides]

Today I fixed the supports and my hands hurt.I tried to get a pic up but my computers Internet crashed. ^I tried that but the track would just hang down because I took out some supports.

[DDRman732865]

If your internet's down, how did you post ^?
