Etherians will feature a never before used element, and possibly an inverted chain guide like the one on Kaibutsu. I've already tried a few prototypes for it like this one.

Also construction has started...at least on the lift.

Here's the slightly deconstructed loop...

Looks cool so far. Is the loop going to be on this coaster?

yeah what's with the loop?

It looks good but your crest looks very sharp. I cant really tell though.

Update!!!
Change of layout plans-no more interlocking inverted loops (which is an idea up for grabs) *looks at Gump, MCM, CC10, and PKI back and forth rapidly*

You need to make the top turn and twist more before it drops, lots of people make that mistake. Fix the pullout too, like all of the other people said.

I think the end of the drop should be a bit farther away from the lift. It just doesn't look very good one right beside the other.

^Most B&M Inverts have loops right after the drop next to the lift.
Posted Image

You need to start making the drop flaten out higher up, then the pullout won't be cramped at the bottom.

^^Also, B:TR clones are all pretty much exactly like that.

I think that you could maybe make the pullout a little bigger and more spread out, but not too much otherwise it'll look distorted.
