Everything looks great, especially the pullout. Also the space that is under the drop, are you going to put rest of the coaster under it?

[msoccerkidm]

uhh i dont know yet. i just had the space open because i didnt feel like filling it, but maybe i will.

[PlanetSaturn56]

^Filing it would only waste pieces. Also, the crest looks a little misshapen.

[msoccerkidm]

it does?

[/\ero]

It looks sharp, just have the part where the gear is be pushed out a little bit.

holy cow another UPDATE! i was working on the 1st hill which will be a hill with a turning drop. i also have a video, the car makes the hill at a very acceptable speed.(i also have not weighted or lubed my trains) here are the pics.

overview.



hill(do you guys think it is too steep?)

comment please.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

the hill is too steep and the drop is too straight

[Chubs33]

Pullins/outs should be identical. The second hill's is very sharp and steep. Make it resemble the first drop's more.

Also, the crest is small but then seems to extend itself into the drop, thats why it looks mishappen. If you made the radius bigger and more constant it would look alot better. The drop also looks kind of straight.

before you fix the hill weight and lubed your trains so you don't have to redo the hill 2 times.

[the_burrito_master]

You want to mirror the pull out to the pull in on the hill and make it bigger.

Also when you re do it fix the crest.

[msoccerkidm]

any better?

[the_burrito_master]

A little ,mirror your pull out from the drop to your pullin.

[msoccerkidm]

ok. i mirrored it. the supports are the same, and this is what i looks like.



here is the pullout(mirrored)



and then here is the hill.



i still have to smooth it out some more i know that. is there anything wrong with the pullout now?

[G Force]

I think you need more crosties but the pullout looks much better now.

[MP thrill rides]

I think it's way to small compared to the drop.

[msoccerkidm]

UPDATE! ok i finished the turning part of the first hill. while i was building i also raised the hill another granite rod, so now it is taller. let me know what you think. i also have a video. before the train didnt clear the hill, but now it does.(I weighted the trains)

[msoccerkidm]

[Franko]

i think it banks way to fast and it's a little bumpy at the top

[Mikecoastermaniac]

[msoccerkidm]
