^Thanks.Ok here is the fixed hammerhead.Please dont mind the turn after the hammerhead it is still being worked on.





In real life it is actully closer together but O well.

[coasterfanatic11]

you know, you keep saying it's closer together so why not adjust it? Oh well, looks awesome! (although it would look better if you adjusted it...)

[Jogumpie]

Somehow you shaping looks weird. Take a look at my version.

^^I already made it closer together.I was just saying that it dosnt look like i made it closer together in the pics.I just confused myself.
^I thought yours was an overbank.

[Jogumpie]

True, but looking at the space you have... I think an overbanked turn would fit better than a hammerhead. I don't know if you can move the coaster around, though...

[coastercrazy10]

Looking at the first picture, i'd suggest additional support columns between the small supports and the taller overbank supports, on both sides. The track seems to be hanging and it seems like there'd be a lot of shaking in that area.

^^I can't make it any wider because if I did I wouldn't be able to put the turn after the hammerhead on.I have a stupid pool table In the way of everything.^Ok good idea but I have done alot of testing and it dosent shake at all.So my question is do you guys think it looks like a hammerhead?

[coastercrazy10]

It's kind of a hammerhead/overbank mix. It looks pretty cool actually. To make it a true hammerhead the pullup and pullout need to be a tad closer together, but i, personally, like the looks of this.

I'm just going to make it a little closer together maby a little grey rod then it should look good.I'm also going to put a few more flexie's through the cross ties to make it stronger.

UPDATE:I finished the hammerhead and the station but I didnt get pics of the station yet.



Here is an overview.



I will get some pics up of the station in a little bit.Please comment it will get your post count up lol.

I don't know why, but ever since RCT started seeming really unprofessional to me, bank-unbank-banks always seem, I don't know, un-sexy. Yours, though, looks pretty, "good". I'm not going to say sexy because things like that can never look sexy.



sexy

This is looking great! Its very smooth and it flows well. I might see a bump in the 2nd picture though.

[/\ero]

I think there is going to be to much of a pull on the car as it enters the hammerhead because it did not unbank, bank, then re bank the oposite way. Prove me wrong if you think something else!

^^^What?
^^Where is it?
^I don't know what you mean.
Can someone explane whats wrong I'm so confused.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

In that picture, right in front of the train, there is a bump. That is because the turn right before it does not unbank, and you have a sharp spot. Try unbanking the part right before the hammerhead almost completely, and move it over to the right to get rid of that bump.

[MP thrill rides]

Thats weird I have a rod right infrint of the train making the track in bank maby it un connected.It looks sharp because a made the sides of the hammerhead slant in.

[RCmaniac31]

looks good. I love the way you support, they definitely make the track smoother, keep going!

^Thanks I'm starting to get the hang of these tube supports.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I think it might also help if the hammerhead didn't start banking so early. Try making the unbank/bank transition smoother.
