Hey guys, it's about time for a looper from me. Noxious will be mainly B&M, but with a few strange twists. So far, I have the lift, crest, pre-drop, motors and chain, and a chain guide finished.

Looks good man. Only thing I would suggest is making the chain guide go all the way up to the gear. It might look better.

^^Thanks, I'll try my hardest to make it great!
^I would, but I'm clear out of the orange half-moons. I still think it looks better than none though. Thanks though.

^Thanks!
Finished the secret element: Flying Snake Dive! (Except it ends parallel to the lift.) As you can see in some of the pictures, I have made a support extending to the wall. I had to make it because it shook a lot otherwise, but with it, it's very sturdy. I already weighted my cars the usual way, but I'll wait to lube them until the loop is half finished.

KC13 made an element like this on his Halloween coaster. I suggested the name 'Pumpkin dive'...lol...
Anyways, looks really nice except the half loop looks a bit sharp where it hits 90 degrees. Just fix that and your good.

It was actually KC13's coaster that inspired me to make this one!

So is the loop going to be directly beside the lift?

That is funny that you knew that, there wasn't too many options now that I think about it though. I just finished what Outerlimits said, thanks!For some reason I knew exactly that you would do this... Weird uh ?

^I think I fixed it.
I finished the loop, and a few other things. I made a tube support under the first pullout, and strengthened the twist supports. Nothing really shakes at all anymore, so here are some pictures.
Overview
Pullout
Loop
Height difference from the crest to the top of the loop
Tube support so the pullout doesn't shake
Strengthened twist supports
I am almost out of blue tubing for the middle, this is all I have left. I really don't want to buy more, so I am going to use purple.
Next element: Cobra Roll

Nice!! Everything's smooth and I like where you're going with this. Although something looks slightly odd about the right side of the loop.......but it could just be an illusion caused by the chain guide and lift in the background.

^ I see it too. It's like the right side kind of hooks up a little. Maybe look into it.

I just fixed that part in the loop, one support was a bit to far up, causing it to create a sharp part. Thanks for pointing that out. Anything else?
