The turnaround after the mini lift hill will be supported.

Well hello beautiful. Not gonna lie the lift looks great.

[VV Khan]

I'm not gonna lie either, it brings shame to me.

[SwimZONE]

I'm sorry. But I think there's a time to build a realistic coaster, and then...this. It seems to much Like something knex would build, and well, with the VV sets these days...

[Renegade]

And swimmy, this is your excuse for realistic?

[Jesperdude]

^LOL

I think the supports are looking a bit thin in relation to the lift hill. (I also think that SwimZONE meant that by something K'nex would build)
Can't you fix that?

I'll try redoing the supports to the coaster, even though it's already done.

Update:

The video of this coaster is now done, expect a new thread with the video later.

If I where you.. I would go through the entire ride. Make it stronger, and put some support on the track for about every two little cross ties. It makes it a ton sturdier. Go through the supports and connect it to each other support every where almost humanly possibly.. but tastefully. Make sense?

[DKCF]

Update:

I got bad news, the video of the coaster may take a while. YouTube sent me a third-party copyright claim about it. The song in the video was "Vasoline" by Stone Temple Pilots. I'm gonna change the music, I'm thinking of puting a song by Drowning Pool on the video.

I'll do that on my next coaster.

[Jogumpie]

I have to say you don't really have much supports.

[DKCF]

On my next coaster, I'll have more supports.

Update:

The video of the coaster will be in a new thread later on today.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Ok. Well you shouldn't say.. "on my next coaster". Why not this one? Take your time on it.. But, for your future coasters.. every two, support, relistic, go smaller please, and keep the track one color please. I think you got the drill and all that jazz.

RCF, running for his room..

Uhh...about that, I ALREADY HAVE A VIDEO OF IT!

I'm really serious that my next coaster will have better supports.

P.S., about what you said about a track with one color, I always place track pieces with a different color just in case I run out of track pieces with the same color when building coasters at a long track length.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Ok. Don't freak out. And I would try experimenting.. Spray paint them all one color? no?


RCF, feeling more mysterious

I don't think that spray painting the track peices is a good idea for me, it might ruin the train's performance.
