Well now ill be starting my Christmas coaster. I don't have a good name yet so ill keep it at Rudolph. I know the name is taken. This will be my first coaster to be built in my room. When it is complete it will be themed with lights and fake snow and just a very christmasy look. Now on to the Coaster. It should be a short one. At about 3 and a half feet high. I don't have a solid layout. I'm looking for a very original layout. All i have is a 180 turning drop into a loop. I know. Very original. Trust me this time. I will listen to everyone's advice. I know i haven't listened well in the past. I'll actually try this time. As for construction. Construction should start in about 1 week.

I think you should try something really original for this coaster, nothing big, just something out of the ordinary.

[iggfish123]

Well i haven't been able to start building. Today i came up with a very good idea tho. I've been search but i cant seem to find what i need. I dont want to tell you but i have to. Well, i wont tell you but you'll be able to figure it out. I cant seem to find a good picture of a reindeer. I need one good picture of just a reindeer looking like it's flying, and santa with his sled would also help. If i dont find something ill have my brother's friend who is an art major draw it up.

How are these pictures,







This ones kind of an art thing, but you could always print and trace it or something.

The Cyclone by Untd yada yada yada did that with his train as well.

ok here my first update. yea.... im tired.

[Maverix]

Try to make the drop a little steeper. Other then that it's great.

[Coaster55]

There also is a sharp spot at the end of the turning in the drop. At the point where it becomes parallel to the lift.

[pkiknex25]

I would lower the top of the drop/turn a bit. The way it is now, the outside rail is raising up as it banks and it doesn't look right. Try doing the opposite and lowering the inside rail and it should fix it. And I think the drop needs support in that one area somehow.

!!!!!!
Awesome!!! I would just add some more support where there's a gap in the middle of the drop.

[Coaster55]

Lower the banking part after the crest a little more like PKI said and it will be good. Try to make the top rail barely rise.

[CS Aljabr]

Whoa!Super smooth.Just do what C55 and PKI said and this thing will be awesome.

[iggfish123]

can somone draw what they mean with the crest?

Play Laugh Grow


Nice coaster, Looks EPIC smooth..

[kingdakrazy]

it looks great, but being the fourth person to say this, LOWER THE TURN PLZ!

[iggfish123]

can u draw what u mean?

[Coaster55]

The top rail shouldn't rise, and the bottom one should lower.

Like this,



The loop looks good though.

[iggfish123]

i think im just gonna leave it how it is. i dont wanna mess it up. and its smooth and can make the loop.

[iggfish123]

ok ill fix it but, i just want someone to tell ne how i can fix it without messing up other things.
