The catwalks curvature doesn't fit the crest properly.

I build the drop but before I show you these pics please take note that 1 I have never made a turning drop before. 2 I am not done supporting it I just wanted to shape it first. And 3 I will fix anything that needs to be fixed.






As you can see I ran out of black connectors but I will try to get some for christmass.

NICE.
Looks pretty good, will it turn any more?

[MP thrill rides]

It will turn a little more so that it is lined up with the lift then it will (hopefully) go into a pretzel loop.I will be moving this into a new location too.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

more banking at the top! But is looks great! But jeeze jogumipe started one hell of a standard for todays coasters!

I wish I would have finished griffon I probably would have won...

[MP thrill rides]

Are you shore it needs more banking?



Edit 100 post!

[Jogumpie]

I really like so far. You need to change one thing though. The first support of the turn looks very weak. I suggest you place one diagonal to near the top, just like on the lift itself.

Looks amazing! Nice work.

[MP thrill rides]

I'm glad all of you like it.I will try to fix that support and put a chain on today.

[reaperdoctor]

very good indeed. looking forward to the rest!

[coasterfanatic11]

WOW it went from epic bad to epic good just like that!
Gump sure has set a standard for coasters! I wish someone would make a tut...
really liking it, but definately needs more banking

[Jogumpie]

Well, I figured out that there isn't really a standard for the connections in-between supports. Sometimes you can't use "method #1", but sometimes you have to use "method #1". There are various methods of connecting supports, so it would be hard to make a complete tutorial.

^ Start with a basic 3, then keep adding to it each time someone finds a new one useful.

[MP thrill rides]

^ Good idea.Well today I will be moving Ironman into it's new location.I'm trying to make this like Manta do I really need more banking?

[PlanetSaturn56]

Why is it turning the opposite direction?

[Coaster55]

^ I think he's just basing the drop off of Manta's, not recreating it.

Look's fine to me, maybe a little more banking though.

[MP thrill rides]

^ Yes I'm just making this look like manta but not be a recreaction sorry if I confused anyone.Will cooking spray work as a lube if not what is the best lube?

[Coaster55]

I used to use cooking oil before I got silicone spray. Take a toothpick and get it wet with the oil, and let it drip off the toothpick onto the axles. Don't get it on the track or the outside of the wheels or it will become sticky.

More Banking on the first part of the droping turn

[coasterfanatic11]

the dropping turn? lol
anyway, please don't put the orange connectors in if you're maxing the cross ties, because then there's huge gaps, and then a lot of tiny gaps, and then huge gaps, and then, well, you know what I mean...
or do you?
