i think it looks fine, in fact very good. just lube it and it will be awesome!

Change of plans: I am apt to changing my mind quite often and the curving drop just wasn't working for me. So instead, I changed it to an airtime hill. I'll get some pics up later and maybe a test vid.

[Outerlimits659]

Two days, and this is bumped back to the second page. Darn. The original plans have returned (curving pull-out into buckel under lift). Here are some pics of the buckel so far, it looks weird to me (deja vu??) but I'll see what you guys think (more deja vu??). Behold the three angles and the test vid:



And here it is!!

I know it's undersupported, I will fix that. Also, I'm pretty sure that the train will not roll back when I complete the buckel (It's a four car weighted train BTW). Please comment!!

I, for one, really like it. It reminds me of PoiZone's (formerly Psycho) roller coasters; very compact and original. I really like the turnaround also, it's nice and smooth. I wouldn't say it's the best support wise; although I see good use of box supports, the track still doesn't appear to be too well attached to it. For example, pictures 1 & 2 of your last post.

Otherwise, that's about it. Nice work, :tmbs

cool, it looks really nice. the first turn looks kind of weird going up down up though. kinda like a bump you can't fix...

[Outerlimits659]

*Bump*

Construction has been postponed on this for Scorpion construction but I started work again yesterday. Here's the other half of the buckel and the transition to the upward helix. Unfortunately, when I tried to add more banking, it stresed my supports and looked weird. Should I keep this as it is, or try a different layout?? Pics......


^You can see the paper with a drawn layout on it here.....

[metallicais1337]

Wow, no offense, but PLEASE don't bank outwards. I would recommend making the drop-half of the buckel be banked, and then it will be better. Also, don't bank the pullout so early.

[G Force]

Well the buckle needes to be the same on both sides. The top looks a little shap too. Dont worrie buckles are hard to build.

[Outerlimits659]

Okay, I'll give another shot at banking it more. And, ^ yeah, they can be tough.

[Outerlimits659]

*Yet another bump*

CIRCUIT COMPLETE!!!! I started losing interest in this, so I decided to finish the circuit quickly so I can start on ********* **. Here's the pics, and I know I have some bumps to smooth out plus I may reshape that final turn before the station. Behold......


The final turns plus the brake run.

The final turn (looks sorta bad, I know. I'll probably reshape it.)

KITTY!!

My cool brakes. They don't do anything but they do open and close. Now they're open.....

Now they're closed!!

Overview......
I still have to think up a name, get the lift up and running, and make a station. Plus, I may add some of KCB design's friction brakes on the brake run.

This was going to be a cool coaster.You shouldn't have rushed the ending it looks really bad.

[Outerlimits659]

Does anybody else think I should change it?? I can if you want, sorry about rushing it.

[rollercoasterfreak]

It looks really good! But I would go with your original layout.. It will look a lot better and add more the coaster. Looks great btw..

RCF, do it!

[Outerlimits659]

^You mean change it right??

OL659, not sure what to think.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Yeah, you don't have to. But it will look the coaster look a lot better and add more to it.

RCF, now that was easy

[Outerlimits659]

Okay, I scrapped my crappy ending and started another half of a buckel into a MCBR. Here's some pics with a test vid....and the coaster doesn't go as fast as it looks in the vid. Here....




And the test vid....can you spot the kitty??

I can add some better supports later too.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Looks good! Whats next?? Oh, and you should add a middle car or 2..

[~stεεlspectrum~]
