Winter coaster WHAT:confused: Yeah this is my winter coaster. It's inspired by my winter coaster last year, which was also the last coaster I built before I joined SSC, and was also called Hail.

So far I have the station, lift, turn, drop, turn, and Immlemann done. I have a lot of pics so bare with me.



















And I've got my mini camera on board:D



Comments appreciated.

Can we see a side view of the drop?

[metallicais1337]

NICE MINICAM!!!!!

The station: I sure hope you'll fix it/make it better

Drop: looks good, not really sure if there's anything to fix.

Immelman: once again, not much to comment on. Looks good.

^ What's wrong with the station? He's not done with it yet, obviously...
I like the drop, it looks really smooth. Keep going!

[Maverix]

^Thanks for pointing that out. yes the station is not quite done, though I may need to change the roof to fit in the actual track. And the exit platform will be separate because the station is right on the edge of the 5X5x5 cube.

Keep the comments coming:D

Looks great. Like most coasters now a day (which is a good thing!), it's very original. I'm loving the first drop, very twisty & fluent. Love it, keep up the great work.

[PlanetSaturn56]

The only thing I see wrong is in the sixth picture the immelmann should be stretched just a wee bit to the left more. Other than that it looks good.

[Antinos]

I like the whole turning-ness of the first drop and the beginning of the immelmann. Keep it up.

OMG all my ideas are being used!

[reaperdoctor]

no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

too many good builders in this contest. i feel swamped. very good by the way. this may beat TBM's coaster, and perhaps mine too.

What are you using that spare half a grey rod for? Right now it's 4.5 grey's wide.

[pkiknex25]

^It's five, look in the bottom right corner of the overview.

This will be another great coaster. Can't wait to see it.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

looks great! where you get your mini cam from?

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

^I got one from Ebay for Christmas for about 80$. I haven't used it yet, so I am not sure what it is like, but I hope to take a POV of Alpine before I take it down.

Wow, that is amazing! It doesn't look like it would fit in the cube, but it does! Great job! May I point out, you are going to have to end the turn that you are making very abruptly, but I don't know if you are doing something else....

[Jogumpie]

Ohw, weird... guess I miscounted twice.
I love those camera's. Can you connect it to your pc?

[Maverix]

Gump: I don't connect it to my PC but I connect it to my video camera which I then connect to my PC.

MCM: I got it off eBay for about $37 with free shipping!!!

RCF919: Don't worry about the turn, I'm working on it right now, maybe have an update later tonight...

PS56: I think I fixed that, it was looking a bit odd to me.

msoccerkidm: Post your pics faster lol.

Renegade, Rollerdude, Reaperdoctor, and PKI(Wow mostly people whose names start with R) Thanks!

Expect an update ether tonight or tomorrow night.

[Maverix]

Double Post Update. I Finished the overbank/ station fly-by. Unfortunatly I had to remove the roof, but I will put in one that will work later.

Looks nice, good shaping and it's smooth.

[reaperdoctor]

looks good. we might get swamped by gump though...

[DDRman732865]

That's pretty kickass. Sound like you need lube or something...
