Perfection perfection! Get over it. The predrop is fine. The turn was fine. The only thing wrong now is that it needs to be slipped, which is an easy fix.

Also, for those that are wondering about the layout. He'll have no trouble getting it back to the station. It will very realistic, just like a real coaster that's getting revamped this year, if I'm thinking correctly.

Sorry if you consider it spam but: what coaster? Anyways, the predrop does seem a bit large...

Actually, i used a video reference of nitro:


That turn's not slipped. I'm going to fix the lift turn to make it a bit less drawn out, and from there i'm done with this turn. Too much work for too little reward, at least in this case.

Looks awesome to me. Haha, I believe I was the one who first mentioned Abe...

^Nope, I did over AIM!

Redline 2.0 is looking great as it gets!

I first thought the turn to the lift was descending a little to much, but I´m over it. I think it looks and works fitting with a 6-car train.

I agree with SwimZONE about the predrop: It seems a bit large, or the pullout can be a little small. But don't flame me, I have never done pre-drops.
The overall looks great, I hope you can get the perfection out the loop like you did before.
Good luck with the construction and please spam us with your pictures!

Big update: drop done, at least for now.

Reason i say at least for now is that i'm pretty satisfied with this drop, best of the 5 that i've built so far, and i've been working on this for six hours so i'm done for tonight regardless of how it looks. Also, i fixed the turn again, so hopefully you guys can get off my back about that So, if you spot anything wrong with the drop (except minor bumps, which will be smoothed out), please let me know. This drop is the biggest element on the coaster and the hardest to get right, so any and all help is appreciated.

Also, big thanks to Josh, Kevin & Kevin, and CAC for their help over AIM. It's very much appreciated. On to pictures:







comment and enjoy. Loop should be finished tomorrow afternoon/evening.

perfect.

I'm loving that fourth picture especially. For such a complex drop, it looks awesome. It's just that type of drop that looks sexy from one angle and yucky from another. But I think you nailed it. Looking forward to later updates.

The pullout seems a little too tight. (Maybe it's just me.)

Also, in the second picture, the crest appears to be unconstant. After the lift, the crest is gradual, then there is a sharp spot.

Everything else looks fantastic though!

Dude this is two words. Kick and ass

This is amazazing! The only thing of the old Redline I got to see was the loop. It was massive! Good job.

No words... That drop is AWESOME!

[Chubs33]

Spouls, you just earned yourself alot of respect from me.

You guys, he wants constructive criticism just as much as anyone else. If you can't spot anything wrong with the drop then ok. But from my perspecive, it looks to me that the pullout is a little bit smaller than it should be.

From all the other angles, the banking looks really good but a couple more could do the trick.

[Antinos]

Well, you have the shape wrong. If you were going for something like B&M, you would have to have it start dropping as it banks and have it more gradual. Look at this:





The turn needs to be bigger and it shouldn't stop banking until the pullout, which yours needs to be bigger. It sounds like a lot, but it would look a lot better than it would now.

[coastercrazy10]

^See that's interesting, because from most angles the drop looked terrible when i tried to shape it that way, especially from the second and fourth angles. I honestly don't know what the drop should look like from those angles...check your PMs, marc.

[MP thrill rides]

Honestly,I don't really like the drop.You should make it look more B&M like rollerdude said.

[Coasteradict]

In the first picture it looks straight. Also make it about 5-20* steeper.

-CA

[RCT2123]

I think it should look something closer to this...



I don't thing the shape is that far off, but the banking is kind of strange. It shouldn't unbank until the pull-out. It should be almost overbanked during the main turning part, and slowly unbank over the entire pull-out...

I think they're trying to say something like this crappy paint pic I threw together from Devastator pictures...
