oh and for my next coaster (i had this planned long before the other ones came out) i am probably going to do a five foot hyper. i was planning this since probably the end of may but havent had the time to build something big. i am probably going to do it on my patio too.

Not a huge fan of the ending, but I still like it. Everything flows well & it has a nice, simplistic layout. Kudos.

^i know it banks to early, it is so it can fit through the support for the lift. i will try to make a final video, if not i will just make a test video.

Looks great Fraggie! I can't believe how good this is, our tubes look great too. The ending has a few bumps, but otherwise, it looks fantastic.

Not really a fan of the radii supports at the end, beginning, and middle. I would have liked to see you keep the tubes throughout the whole layout.

It is smooth though...

I spy with my little Eye, a bump/straight spot in the 2nd helixish turn thing where the track goes right by a tube support. Please fix.
