Hey guys, at the moment I have 3 Screamin Serpents. I have started some customs, but they were never completed. I've gone small with this one, the lift is about 2 1/2 ft. Heres the pix:

It looks great, but the drop shouldn't be so strait, and it should have a slightly longer pull-out.

[da master826]

Make the drop curved, and make the pull-in bigger/start it sooner. Which is basically what^ said.

The name of the coaster is um...interesting? And your supports. Can you try to make them the same as the rest of the coast, not like granite rod, blue rod, white rod, granite rod ,granite rod.

[Rollerboaster]

I think I fixed the Drop, and Pullout. As for the supports I had to make them a little inconsistent because of the height of the lift, and positioning of the drop they work so I don't think I'm going to change them but I will be more consistent with supports on the rest of the coaster. Heres the new drop:

That looks much better. I say carry on.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

That looks much better. The shaping is great, and you're supporting it very well. I like it

[Rollerboaster]

OK I finished the next hill, the train has enough speed to make it, but I'm concerned about my shaping. The next element will be a turning drop to the left.

It's a little steep for the entrance of a second hill...but it's fine.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

The crest is too big compared to the size of the pullin. I would make the pulling a little bigger, and make the crest about half that size. It's very smooth and well-supported though.
EDIT: Also, you base looks a little wiggly.

[Rollerboaster]

^I don't get what you mean about the base being wiggly.

[Rollerboaster]

OK I think I fixed the pullin for the hill, I like it and it makes it so I'm done with it. I have done a lot of work on the next element a turning drop. It does not shake here's some pics:

Comment! Please I don't want to DP again...

[Outerlimits659]

Nice job! Everything looks smooth to me. However, could we get a pov pic of the turning drop?? Also, you may want to make the turning drop less wide. Beside that, looks good.

[Rollerboaster]

OK heres two POVs The first from the top of the drop, the second from the middle. I don't know why but the POVs make it look like there are sharp spots there that I don't see in real life. Heres the pix:

[Rollerboaster]

Sorry for the DP, but I need to know should I change anything or continue? I'm going to keep the turns width the same.

[Maverix]

It's a little bumpy, just go through and smooth it out with your hands.

[Rollerboaster]

OK guys I have an update...The turning drop was giving me problem I tried what Maverix said, but it just got worse so I redid the drop so that it would be less wide, and smoother. I also made another hill into a MCRB. Here's the pix:

Hill and brakes:


Overview:

[SteelConviction]

The pullin to the brake run is too small. Otherwise, great job!!!!

[Rollerboaster]

I have seriously considered canceling Suckerpunk, because I was not liking the layout. So this Sunday (June 7th) I destroyed everything except for the lift and drop. Yesterday evening I completed Suckerpunch, and I must say this layout packs a much larger punch! Let me know if there is any thing major I should change, because I will give it some theming, then shoot the final vid tonight.

Best overview I could get:

First Drop, Pullout, pullin, and hill:

Hill:

Turnaround:

Sort of like a stengel dive, except not:

Rest of Layout:

My Best bud Max, he doesn't seem to mind the coaster:):

Comment! Comment! Please Comment!

I would consider beefing up the supports. It s just a bunch of rods sticicking up. Does it shake? Other than that i like it!

[Ricbun]

The pull out of the hill in picture 2 is pretty sharp try to fix that and it is good. Otherwise i like the layout godo coaster. post 150
