Taurus



I started working on a new hyper and it will be called Taurus. The pictures are just of the lift, semi-hill-then-drop-type-thing, and then an overbank. I already have some layout ideas in mind but I just wanted to see what you guys thinked. The 5 car train is so close to making it over the overbank, so I'm going to get pictures from CAC to increase the speed of the lift.

Nice job! I like the idea (of the pre-drop)! But:

It looks like the pullout of the crest (of the lift) and the beginning of the pre-drop turn are a little sharp. Also, it looks, to me, a little weird how the pre-drop turn unbanks, then rises (meaning I think it would look better if it started to rise while still partially banked).

^I think the crest/turn transition is fine. I can change the hill part though. It shouldn't be to hard to fix. Thanks for the comment.

Does it really make it over that hill before the drop? It is almost as high as the lift.

I have to say, Beautiful!
there is one bump in the overbank, 2cnd to last picture, about 3/4 through, there looks like a straight part then a bump

but If you can't spot it, don't worry xD
