looks great, but you still should begin banking sooner-about 1/2-2/3's up the hill

Why should it bank more? I don't want a sideways drop.Does anyone else think I should bank it more on the drop?

Nah, i think it looks good. Banking sooner would make it look a bit forced IMO...i like it this way, personally.

Actually, that's more of an overbank but I really like it!! If you really want a hammerhead though, then make the sides curve in more...something like this: Posted Image

It's smooth, but hammerhead's entrances and exits are always closer together then the overbanked part.

But you could be going for your own element now, like a cross between a hammerhead and a stengle dive. That would be bitchin'.

Actully I just noticed in the pics that the sides slant in before it turns and i dont really like that.I going to make it slant in before it turns but not that much.It will hopefully look like diamondback's.
^^^Thanks.
^Crap I forgot about the base.

I think a hammerhead would be a lot more unique and would fit in better with the overall design of the coaster. Also, no matter what element you choose, you can get a lot more height out of it.
