[Loop De Loop]

Well i have started and completed th lift of my new CD dive machine that I have decided to call adrenealine rush. But there is a problem. As we all know the dive train is only 3 1/4 inches long [I measured it] I have made the crest so sharp it is now even funny. But since it is so short and there is know way to make it longer what should I do? Please help me im desperate!

Are you saying the crest is so sharp the cars can't go over it?

[Antinos]

How about some pictures to show what you mean?

Are you saying the crest is so sharp the cars can't go over it?

What I am saying is that know matter how small I make the crest the cars will not get over at all.

Here is a dyagram of what I mean

[Loop De Loop]

Sorry for the doubal post but update. I have made the crest so big and it will not go over. I have made it so small that it still won't make it and if it did make it it would get stuck in the crest.

Well this has been changed to a hyper to make it easyer. In all honesty this is my first ever custem CD coaster. Im working on a hammer head right after the first drop.

I think it looks cool I might have to ask for a CD for my birthday.

[SwimZONE]

you need to make either the train longer, to make it over, or have the hill be at a smaller angle

[Loop De Loop]

Ok update. Please tell me if there is anything to fix beore I put the track on it about a half an hour. I know this may seem weird for a hyper because the element is usually not on hypers but after the hammerhead and befor the airtime hill I plan on doing a inclined loop. ^ maby you did not hear but this got changed to a hyper now it make it over the crest and it is long. All is good!

The way you have it connected it won't be banked correctly, and it's way to steep. It shouldn't get steeper then 45*.

Do you speak english ? Your typing is awful, sorry. If you want to make a dive coaster you need to make a pre-drop and make it sharper then that. And don't make an inclined loop on a hyper.

[Loop De Loop]

Please listen. I said that I changed this to a hyper. I have the hyper train. It makes it over the crest and everything.

Here is the hamerhead. It now works but I had to make it a inch or two shorter. And it also looks more like an overbank.

[the_burrito_master]

hammer heads are supposed to be almost inverted. aren't they?

support your pull out more.

try to make the entrance and exit of the hammer head closer together.

[DJMK]

Umm.. no.

[Loop De Loop]

ok im fixing it as we speak. The problem is that when I make it more of the hammerhead shape it loses tons of speed so im going to make it a little better but keep it more of and overbanke curve.

[DJMK]

..But its not even an overbank. Its barely banked at all.

[/\ero]

It is more like a 45 degree angle wall turn if anything.

[Coasteradict]

hammer heads are supposed to be almost inverted. aren't they?

No they bank anywhere from 90-110*

try to make the entrance and exit of the hammer head closer together.

No, let him leave it:

^^^^^I thought that was a bow tie? I thought a hammerhead was like on ragging bull and nitro.
