pullin - the gradual slope upwards to a hill.
pullout - the bottom of a drop where the track eases to horizontal.
here are some pics of elements:
immelmann
cobra roll
zero g roll
jojo roll (barrel rolls are the same but jojo rolls are straight after the station)
corkscrew
hope this helps you out!

The pullout is the part of the coaster that gets parallel to the ground.
EDIT: I think ^ he covered it a lot better than me.

I really want to start with a smallish woodie. Nothing too crazy, and I know they use alot more pieces, but I like the look of the ones I have seen on here.
I was going to include a station with chain, and was curious if anyone had some pics with roof and floor? I have seen a couple but not really any pics that concentrate on the station itself.
Anyone know of any software to help out with the layout, other then drawing on graph paper?
Thanks,
Jace
I will add a thread in "Construction" with pics when I get going!
