It looks like your tubes are stressing. And you might have to much angle.

Here's a good reference pic.

[BBaller347]

Except for the stressed tubes, I think it looks good how it is. The angle is perfect in my opinion.

[KCB Designs]

The crest looks golden, but now the pullout is a little flat.

[SwimZONE]

I think that you should take the tubes out, put a sturdy back-bone, then retry, that'll help. There are some strait spots too.

[Millcreek47]

^^its because the pull out isnt supported at the bottom.

[Antinos]

Now it looks worse, TBH. You made it a bit too beyond vertical, and vertical for too long. Maverick and Fahrenheit aren't beyond vertical for very long:





Hopefully those help.

Yeah, the track didnt want to bend the way I made it, so it kinda warped the tube.

As much as that would help, I can't, since I'm entering this in MOTY.

How is this?

[Fraggie]

that looks good to me. but as for the name, i already used that and i think it was the name of another older coaster.

[Pyro]

It Looks like it would be a dive machine to me.
Make it more curved and Past verticle for less.

[christian]

^ Dive machines go straight down. IMO, looks a little better.

[Pyro]

Yes I know, it looks like it goes strait down but I know it really doesn't.
Also I think you should use 3 cars not 2.

;(

I'm using 2 cars because it will preserve the speed better, since the train weighs less.

I need more opinions on the drop...I think it looks fine, but if some more people point out something wrong with it, I will change it.

[lazor 22]

I think it looks good. Are you going to turn it or o a hill next? If your turning it it needs to start turning before it hits the ground.

[coasterfanatic11]

I have a crick in my neck now..

It looks good enough to me. Continue?

-cf11 :cool:

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Update!

I re-thought my layout and decided to make the drop go straight into an almost-180* turn (like Maverick, but turning less).






How does it look? ¿cómo mira?

CORRIJA: ¿por qué son los cuadros tan pequeños?

[Rollerboaster]

Looks good shaping wise, but it would help us if you added triple tubing. I'm not a big fan of real short layouts, I don't think you will be able to make the next hill very tall with that turn.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

^ Good point, I'll add middle tubing. And I hate short layouts too...that's why there will be a mid-course launch

[SwimZONE]

I think that the turn needs more banking.

[JPCoaster]

Agree with SwimZome. Need more banking, look at Maverick : Maverick (Cedar Point)

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I added some more banking, and I tried to smooth out the transition from drop to turn a little.

Pics (last 3 were taken before I smoothed it out and added middle tubing):




I added some diagonal supports to make the drop sturdier (bottom left):



And a good shot of the turn's support (and my other coaster):
