hey guys, it has been a while since i have made a coaster on ssc, so i decided to make a inverted coaster, on my schoo break. I sort of have a layout, but depending on my skills, i am, not to sure about it. what it looks like now is this.1)right turn from station out to lift hill.2)180 degree turning drop.3)loop into cobra roll.4)270 degree banked turn through loop.5)zero-g-roll, or corkscrew to station.↓↓↓layout↓↓↓


let me know what you think.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

It looks pretty realistic and not too hard, except for the cobra roll. Maybe you could put that as your first element before the loop, that might look cool ;D

^I'd leave the layout as it is because Cobra Rolls are major speed killers.
The layout does sound possible, good luck!

[msoccerkidm]

thanks guys. i am starting on the loop first, to see how big my drop is going to be. also if you have any good inverter car designs, that are light, let me know, i dont have a car design yet

[Coaster55]

You might want to start with the cobra roll first, since that will probably be the hardest element to build with enough speed.

[msoccerkidm]

^thanks. but the loop i am working on is about 3 ft tall. when it is done i will post pics. and then outline the cobra roll for you. if i put the cobra roll before the loop, then the layout changes darastically.

[msoccerkidm]

i have the loop done, but i know that there is something wrong. please help me.

lower the top part, and make it smooth, other than that it's pretty guet!

[KCB Designs]

On the contrary, I think the top needs to be pulled up, by doing so it will make the loop more tear droped shaped.

[coastermaniac]

^Nope, it will be worst.

Well first mirror both sides.

like so and mirror it.

[msoccerkidm]

thanks guys, i think i have it fixed, i will have pics posted on my next update that will have a completed station and lift hill.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

A comparison to a real coaster is one of the best comparisons I can think of...

Your loops is far too tall/skinny. Also, try to take out the bumps by adjusting the crossties 'til it's smooth.

[Coaster55]

^The angles of those 2 pictures are different..

The sides need to be brought in about a small gray each, and raise the top a little bit more.

[msoccerkidm]

ok, i will try to see what i can do.

[msoccerkidm]

ok i have an update. the lift hill is done! i have a video too.p.s. sorry the video quality is bad, i am using an old camera, when i find my better one i will post up a better vid.
crest.

video:


here is the drop. i started on it. and it is a bit rough. so i know i have to smooth it out.

comment please.

[NitroDude319]

I say that the crest dips alittle too much.

[/\ero]

The drop is also way to bumpy... flare it, and bank it before it starts the drop.

[msoccerkidm]

^^just as much as rollerdude's challenger.↓

[~stεεlspectrum~]

You need to bank you drop more outward, before it even starts dropping. Like Afterburn's, sort of.
Other than that and the random bumps caused by leaving large spaces with no crossties, it looks fine.

[msoccerkidm]

thanx, i figured out how to bank it sort of, but i just cant get the shape.
