yet again another hyper coaster. I have half the layout in mind, but i will see how the coaster comes along. First pics are the station, and turn to lift hill.

station: (no roof yet)


turn:






comment please.

Try building the box supports up a little higher/closer to the track. The way you have it is really weak because the long rods supporting the track directly from the base aren't anywhere near as strong as box supports. Do that, and you're good.
EDIT: And maybe don't bank that turn as much, it doesn't need it. At the speed it's going at, it only needs maybe 10-20* banking.

ok. i will have an update later today.

[msoccerkidm]

crest:



comment.

[NitroDude319]

There's something about the crest,just cant put my finger on it.

[Loop De Loop]

^ It almost looks lie it goes up a little befor the crest, but IDK.
Also make sure to finish the middle suport beam or it will shake like crazy!

[spousl16]

The main support tower for the lift looks a little stressed. Try adding another support halfway up the lift.

[knexems]

^That is because he's combining radii and box supports. It can work sometime but not in this case.

And why are you using small purple flexi rods on the crest?

[Loop De Loop]

^ Maby that is why the crest is messed up

[kingdakrazy]

What the **** is wrong with you!? You suck at life! You named it lucifer?! You freaking psycho!

[msoccerkidm]

i know. i am working on the middle support. ↑ what is wrong with the name? i made the radii suports for the lift because they looked cool, and i thought i could pull it off. what do you guys think? shoul i change it?

[kingdakrazy]

what are you, a freaking satan worshiper!? Why would you name it that? Do you know what that means?!

[DDRman732865]

^Calm the hell down. There are tons of Atheists on this site who don't believe in Christianity and aren't offended by that. If you have a problem then leave, and never come back. It will be a benefit to all.

Definitions of lucifer on the Web:

* Satan: (Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions) chief spirit of evil and adversary of God; tempter of mankind; master of Hell
* morning star: a planet (usually Venus) seen just before sunrise in the eastern sky
* match: lighter consisting of a thin piece of wood or cardboard tipped with combustible chemical; ignites with friction; "he always carries matches to light his pipe"; "as long you've a lucifer to light your fag"

Read the second and third definitions.

↑ thanks. the web it said it was an ancient roman god. so i chose it.
back on topic...should i change the lift supports?

[Coaster55]

The only thing on the supports you should change is the random metallic boxes in it. Remove most of those metallic gray boxes and put in straight grays, look at some of my support towers to see what I mean.

[metallicais1337]

i say purple flexis will make it smoother, because radii sometimes bend my connectors and pieces, so i think purple flexis are good.

as for the support tower, i think you should make it a normal cross-brace box support, not a half/2x/i have no clue what its called support tower. EDIT: ^you posted pretty much the exact same thing at the same time lol.

and i think you should have another support tower in between the one you're building and the start of the lift.

the crest looks fine, but i think nitrodude was thinking of the end of the crest where it goes down, its a little straight, but whatever. looks good!

oh, and btw, like the name!

[msoccerkidm]

i lost my purple flexis somewhere, so i just used what i have. and does that mean you think i should change the lift to box supports?

[PlanetSaturn56]

^He means just take out the boxes in the supports. Keep the same supports, but don't include those boxes.

I'm really likin' that turn.

[metallicais1337]

^actually, i meant take out the "tall" box supports and make it all normal box supports. like so:

[ATTACH]3881[/ATTACH]


so instead of using those strange oblong support rectangluar prisms, use box supports for more strength aka no stress/very minimal stress.

[msoccerkidm]

got it, and thanks.
i guess i will keep the radii supports and fix supports holding it up.
