^yes, thats what is needed.

any ideas on layout? i say a hill after the drop, then maybe a hammerhead or some sort of turnaround. or maybe a nitro turn?!?!?!

[msoccerkidm]

uhh. my layout i hope to happen is after the drop, a j turn type thing(forgot what it is called) then a goliath la ronde type turn, or hammerhead to a stengel dive(or another j turn) and then the rest is undecided, i will see how it turns out to that point.

^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.

NO! Do NOT do that, he has no idea what he's talking about. The entire support tower should be gray rods in length, no granites except top and bottom.

3 words, let him decide It's his coaster, and he can make it however he wants...

↑↑yea i know i was going to do what coaster55 said. it woud be waisting my piecs if i did that. oh yea...the j turns will be hills with turning drops.

[metallicais1337]

^^^woah geez calm down! i was just giving some advice!

^^^^oh, and a j turn is (at least i think it is) the same as a nitro turn.

[msoccerkidm]

i am intreged(sp?) by the goliath la ronde turn. it is so fascinating, and i am hoping to include that into it.

that turn in the background? that seems very... knex-y/RCT-y. are-cee-tee-y? tee-y? woah. thats double e-y. ee-y?

im confusing myself...

[msoccerkidm]

this one.

[metallicais1337]

yeah. EDIT: lol i just realized the pic i posted isnt working so...

[DDRman732865]

^^^woah geez calm down! i was just giving some advice!

Well, the fact that you were giving wrong advice made it acceptable to intervene. Oh, and that was calm.

By the way, http://rcdb.com/ig3385.htm?picture=26. It's the same as the first element of my Christmas coaster.

[metallicais1337]

^lol thats the pic that i tried posting earlier. but by you saying that my advice is wrong, thats not helping the case. people can have different opinions, and nothing is wrong or right in this case. you could say "i think you should do gray rod supports instead" but no, you had to make a big deal about it and criticize me.

OK NEVERMIND, I DONT WANT A FLAME WAR TO START.

↑↑ how does that help me?
↑↑↑ yea that is it.
it is hard for me to change the crest support, because if i do then it changes the gears for the chain, and makes it too tall, of that makes sense. but i am adding a middle support.

[msoccerkidm]

dp. UPDATE! ok i got the middle support done. and the chain, and the first drop. please let me know what should be fixed. contructive critisiscm please.
(i think it is too steep)
.drop.



pullout

[Coaster55]

It gets a little sharper right after the gears, and again in the middle of the pull out. Try to make it more like this, and it should be perfect.

[msoccerkidm]

got it. is the pullout to big or small?

[msoccerkidm]

dp. UPDATE! ok i fixed the drop, it is not so steep or sharp. i also have the pullout done. let me know what you think.

fixed drop:
