The Clipper




. It Is 5 feet 7 inches tall. I have a pretty good layout but it is a secret. I am using my new station with the automatic doors. I have the lift and some of the drop done. I will have Pics after School.

You canceled Blazing fury?? Do you realize that you've canceled almost half the coasters in your sig?? And for future reference, please don't make a thread until you actually have pics--don't just say 'I'll have pics later'. Please don't cancel this...

I Wumbo, You Wumbo, He She WUMBO

I love that episode.. xD

Sounds good, but I'd take away some height, start at 3-4 ft. Tall, It'll be better quality, and a nicer coaster :P

two things:
1) It's not that hard to make sure your thread title is correct.
2) YOU NEED PICTURES TO START A THREAD IN CONSTRUCTION. PERIOD, END OF STORY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

closed. If/when you get pictures PM me and i'll re-open it and change the name.

Too small of a pre-drop compared to that drop. Make it bigger, and the curvature of the drop smaller.

1. Make the start of the drop 2x smaller.
2. Make the crest of the lift hill 2x bigger.
3. Make the predrop horizontal and at least a gray long.
Your supports look pretty good (better that your last coasters), but put some 45* supports on either side of the bases to stabilize it.

The Crest doesn't look to good either, you need to make it span at least 3 granite/yellow rods.

Do you really think you have the pieces to finish this? From what I'm hearing, the layout sounds like it'll be really long. With as many coasters as you have cancelled, I don't see this getting finished as its currently planned. To me, you are biting off more than you can chew. This is way too big for your skill level and these situations don't go well. Yes, I know you want to challenge and prove yourself. But going from nothing to gigantic is not the way to do it. Start small and build up. You don't see babies going from crawling to running overnight, it takes time and experience. The same applys here. I would like you reconsider this decision and ask that you build and finish a few smaller coasters before taking on this magnitude.
