I can't get pictures tonight because my camera died, and it's 1:30 so I can't go downstairs anyways. But I put a drill in for the motor and it makes it now. I have an airtime hill right after, and it makes it over with ease. Hopefully next is a J-turn.

So by sling-shooting the car up the lift, it makes it? Lol. There are quite a few bumps on the exit of the turn, but thats just shaping. Fix that and it should look good.

^ LOL. I see what LCAL is saying. Just fix those bumps :tmbs.

[the_burrito_master]

lol drill I hope you're not using full speed XD besides all the ugly bumps and strait parts it looks Alright!

EDIT AFTER WATCHING VIDEO: you do use full or almost full speed lol that would be violent in real life.

[DDRman732865]

^It's not quite full speed...

^^ and ^^^ I tried to fix the bumps a little, but I will put more effort into it when I finish the circuit.

Here's the first half of the J-turn. (I really gotta clean up FME.)

I think you should go back and fix stuff before you continue.

[G Force]

^I agree you should fix the bumps before you build any more. It seems your losing speed very quickly.

[DDRman732865]

Good point...

I went back, and I think I fixed it, but I probably didn't, so if you see any bumps, point them out, but not like this:

besides all the ugly bumps and strait parts it looks Alright!

This in no way helps me see what is wrong.









Meanwhile, I will continue on the J-turn, considering that there's 2 hours until Christmas.

[DDRman732865]

J-turn is done, again, let me know if you see anything.







Edit: Well, i didn't get it done before Christmas, and I can't say up until 3am again because my sister is sleeping in the basement. Hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow, next is an overbank into bunny hops into the station, then decorating. So expect a video late tomorrow.

[Jogumpie]

Heartlining in the third picture is way off. And did you do anything about the shaking of the turnaround?

[DDRman732865]

^Yeah, lots of string and toned-down SoF supports.







I think I fixed the J-turn. ^If not, could you be more specific?

[griffon14]

its still pretty bumpy. i think its just because your rushing it though

[NitroDude319]

I say the same thing, the top of it is very bumpy. Also have you tested it to see if it was shaking?

[DDRman732865]

Sorry I had to finish it without updating. My computer was acting up.

And I know I rushed this and I didn't take any advice or go back and fix anything, and I'm sorry. If I wasn't trying to make a deadline I would have put more effort into it, because looking back at it there are tons of mistakes and bumps, etc. I promise that on my next project I will make a better attempt to listen and follow through. (Ugh, I sound like a freaking n00b.)

Anyway, pictures:

[Mikecoastermaniac]

would have been real real nice if you had smoothed everything out...

[griffon14]

that first turn around still shakes like hell. it a great coaster though considering the curcumstances.good job

[G Force]

This is a very nice coaster, stinks you had to rush at the end. The Video and the theming were great to.

[LukeIsLuke]

So is it a newyears coaster then? You can add a clock on it somewhere and make it so that motor goes on when it strikes twelve

I like it, shakes like no other though, and I has tons of bumps, but still provides the shaping we love in you. (I feel all warm and toasty saying that )

[SwimZONE]

^wait, What???
it shakes...but given the circumstances, It's really nice, and very tall
