The rods between the track and the supports are too long. Build your supports closer to the track.

^ Okay, Ill just bring out the box supports 1 granite rod in some places.
^^ A wheel, and thanks.
^^^,^^^^ I wanted the crest to look similar to Hypersonic XLC's because it has a launched lift.
^^^^^^ The pullout was a little cramped since Im trying to make this for a physical science project.

Thanks y'all!

nice throw lol. did it jam? or is that how you triggered it? the side of the lift that launches it is fine but can you make the other side of the crest as sharp as the top of the crest until it hit's 93*? i think that would look much better.

^ You mean have the same radius? Im confused...
^^ It's exactly like Hypersonic XLC, just that its launch is vertical, and it rotates an extra 3*...
I really like it the way it is, and Id rather keep it symmetrical.
BTW, this coaster isn't truly a Eurofighter. It's more like a S&S Thrust Air 2000 coaster, but with some minor changes. I don't see anything wrong with it.

1/3 of the half-loop after the drop is done, and Im a little skeptical about speed. I might have to add weights to my cars if they dont work better soon (once I re-support it).

The element coming after the drop is unique--it's like a semi-inclined sea serpent...O_o
try and figure out what that looks like...

EDIT: Come to think of it, it's not even a S&S TA2000; it's a custom stunt coaster...
EDIT#2: V it's to the left, and yeah, it took me about 3 seconds to fix.

I think I've seen something like it, one oh the half loops (entrance / Exit) of the Sea Serpent is inclined, and goes over the other one..

I am cancelling this coaster. Partly because I dont like it much and it doesnt work.

I have 2 trains. Both are lubed. One is weighted. I have a ton of supports. What's wrong with it?

The first car has no weights. The second one is filled with modeling clay.

is it going under ground? that's what it looks like to me. there is a sorta sharps spot at the bottom of the pullin. that should be the least sharp.

EDIT: gota love how you jib the car. lol jib means explode.

what I meant earlier on was to keep the same radius as the top so it would look better but I think it's ok. it would give you more air time and make it look more like a euro fighter.

THIS COASTER IS CANCELLED

Okay, here's the poop (secret information) on this coaster:

It was going to be named Apollo13, and be themed around a space shuttle launch pad.
Like where the car goes toward the launch, then rotates straight up, then launches into space.

Apollo13 was going to have a backwards section (like Expedition Everest). The first turnaround element would be a freefall tower like Mr. Freeze's spike, but with a switchtrack at the bottom.
The second special element would be a reversing launch. The car would be going backwards, then turn onto a launch run, still going backwards. Then there would be a switchtrack where the turn was, and switch to a straight part. The car would be slowly rolling backward, then suddenly launch straight forward into the rest of the course.

Im sorry this coaster didnt work out. My next coaster is either a custom woodie, or recre of Terminator (@SFMM).
