This is Led Zeppelin, my new Coaster.
So far I have the loop Structure done.

Do you think this is high enough for the first loop?



It's 4 grays tall.



I added this because at the end of the Zero-G, it goes below land level.



Comment!

oooh Lordies.
Looks okay,


Good luck with this!

[SteelConviction]

Ok you probally can do this...........you might need a booster though...The loop support looks good.

[iggfish123]

Dam i was gonna do this. Oh well. I guess I'll think of something else. i was waiting to do this until i actually wanted to.

[the_burrito_master]

This should be good only it would be better to start from the beginning.

I think you can make it without a booster.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

Cool! I like this!
^ There probably just sitting there.

[Jplaz]

I dunno sbout this, MCM attempted this not too long ago, and this was as far as he got...

[Mikecoastermaniac]

there will definitely need to be a booster, no matter what.

Lordies? Thanks!

Thanks, hope I don't need to though...

Sorry...

I started with the loop so that I could get the right speed through the Loop and Cobra Roll.

Well, I'm using gray rods for a lot of this, so hopefully I won't need a booster.

Keep 'em comin'

[metallicais1337]

Just pointing out that I think this will have to be a LOT bigger and taller if you want to have enough speed for the entire layout, including that whole "mess" of track at the end: all those turns and corkscrews eat up speed.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

like I said you WILL have to use a booster, no matter how big it is.

[metallicais1337]

^Not if it's life-sized... 0_o

But anyways, I think you should start with the drop, then go on from there because then you will know how much speed you have left.

[Millcreek47]

like iggfish i was wanting to recreate this, but im not expirenced enough and you beat me to it. this is a long layout and you will prolly need a booster or two. good luck. im keeping my eye on this.

My room isn't big enough...

Okay, now that I think about it...yah

Once again, sorry...and thanks!

No, I'm already done with the loop.

Update!!!
I finished the loop, (almost).

Loop angle 1



Loop angle 2



Loop entrance angles



Just a cool pic



Comment!!!

P.S. Can someone put together a paint pic compared to the loop on Led Zeppelin? Kind-of like this: (scroll down a bit)

PLEASE use flexies! A loop this size should not use grays.

The shape is a little off. The pull-in/pull-out should cross higher up.

Yah I might change it-to much stuff on it is off shape, bumped, and straited...

But then wouldn't that make it a eurofighter styled loop?

[knexems]

What you have is more of a eurofighter loop. Bringing the cross section higher would make it like a B&M loop.

[Coaster55]

Raise the top a bit and the shape should be good. Most of the bumps and sharp spots are caused by the gray rods, take those off and replace them with flexi's, other than the pull outs if they're big enough.

I suggest getting rid of the small gray base to the coaster, though. It's using up a lot of unnecessary pieces, and looking at the picture you posted, the zero g roll's pull out doesn't go below ground level anyway.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

it needs to be bigger, if its not all the other elements will looks so small.

1. Changing Gray's to Flexies
2. Raise the top of the loop
3. Take out the base.
