^ Thanks. Next I'm thinking of doing a small airtime hill (which you can see the beginning of) with a turning pullout into an overbank over the launch.

I'm completely open to ideas if you guys have any though!

This is BEASTLY!!! I like your layout ideas, but after the overbank, I'd like to see some track go under the tophat.

I'm changing up the layout a bit...I made a sort of buckel instead of an airtime hill, and I'm planning on the rest of the layout being a little shorter than I expected. I'm losing speed a little faster than I had expected, so my elements will have to be smaller. And small elements don't exactly belong on a big Intamin Accelerator, so I'll just put a few overbanks and buckels, no inversions (maybe a zero-G though). [I am so indecisive, haha]

And could a mod please rename the thread Magnum?

I think that turn after the tophat is a little to big. It's killing all of your speed to. Other then that it looks great!

No inversions, please. That buckel looks amazing. Good work.

I think the banking may be off on the buckle. It should be completely unbanked when it has no incline, but it doesn't until after. (This is looking at the 3rd picture)

The exit seems a bit funky too. I think it needs more banking there.

I think I fixed the banking on the top of the buckel, and I tried to bank the pullout a little more. I think that next I might make a stengel dive over the launch.

Also, could someone rename this thread Magnum?

Needs more upward heartlining. The side-to-side is fine though.

Yeah, ^he hit it right on the head, exactly what it needs. I wouldn't mind seeing it become a full-blown stengel dive either.

The transition doesn't look fluid in the first and fourth pictures. The straight on shot makes it look gorgeous though.

I just finished the coaster...it's definitely not my best coaster so far, but it's okay enough, I guess. All that's left to do is make some brakes, and FINAL VIDEO.

Wow...honestly, the best part was probably the initial tower/launch along with the heartlined stenglish dive.
