I just started with a new hyper rollercoaster. So far i

have the 5 ft. lift done and the second hill. I am working on a banked drop after the

second acent. Im just warning you now this model is gonna take a long time to

complete because i will probably have to wait for more pieces. PS i might have pics in

a few days but im not making a promise because i have to find my camera first LOL.

The model sounds interesting but I am wondering why

you titled the topic Steel Force if this isn't a recreation and doesn't have

any relation to Steel Force except that they are both hypers.

[ssfan313]

I think its just a good name.

[ssfan313]

Good news.... I just found my camera and i was able to

get one picture in and then the batteries went out. I will include a few pictures in my

next post.

[coasterguy]

your own name.

And here is the other one. Please speak freely with any

critisim to help make it better.

The coaster looks good so far but some of the

supports on the lift hill need work. The rods are bending. The second hill is good but

the turn needs some smoothing and a lot more supports if you want to keep the speed

going. The transition should be more gradual and the turn should start at the top of the

hill. The 1st turn pic makes it look like you changed the slope of decent halway into

the turn. It starts out dropping steep and then gets less steep. It looks off from that

angle. The 2nd pic of the turn makes it look better.

I like the sort of Intamin style supports. What other

elements are in this coaster? How tall is it? Good job so far. The turnaround looks

like fun.

[ssfan313]

Thanks, in my first post it says it is 5ft. Im going for the

Magnum type of look, alot of bunny hills and thats about all, i might put another lift and

a helix but i dont know as of now.

[gravitiatic]

Well I'd agree that the lift structure could use a

redesign or surious tweeking, but if you got a lack of pieces, I definately understand

(speed isn't affected much by the lift structure). But the second hill is very nice,

and tall too. The bank-final smoothing. But the bunny's should look nice, as this

coaster looks good so far. I'd go with a cool helix at the end (wink). Keep it up.

[ssfan313]

Thanks for the compliments, i dont have alot of pieces

letf for the lift so im not gonna bother about that, the only weak part it the top that

bends a bit. BTW i have finshed the new banked turnaround and i will have more pics

soon.

I have one thing to say:

On PIC 2, the

section where it's hold up the lift looks a little bents from the track. May I

suggest this:

Black Arrow shows te bent part

Red Arrow

shows the supports

Lime Green Line shows the supports maybe you could

add.

[ssfan313]

I just tried that a second ago, it didnt work. you have to

have a grey rod and something a little bigger that the metalic blue rod.
