The pre-drop needs to go horizontal before the dip. The dip itself needs to be deeper and banked a lot more as well.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

You're completely missing the straight brake section right after the crest...and the turn needs to dip down farther.

Also, your supports are wrong. They should have A frames that lean toward the outside of the turn, not the inside, like you have.

The whole thing looks really ugly, IMHO. Re-do it all. Sorry to sound harsh but it's true.

He said he is saving pieces, and not doing exact supports.

I kinda agree with lazor, but the only problem I see is the sharpness of it going upwards after the pre-drop.

[Antinos]

All he has to do is turn the supports around. I don't see how those can use so many more pieces.

I was gonna build that but you're doing it better than I could ever do! Good Job

[NitroDude319]

Just do what ^^ said and you'll be fine. Good luck on this, and is this you're MOTY coaster?

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

[JPCoaster]

He was talking about Mantis not your coaster...

[coasterfanatic11]

OMFG, no you didn't!
I was planning on building this!!! Damn!
Sorry for being really angry but I searched the entire forum for "mantis" and I couldn't find anything, so I already started planning building this. I will hate you for all eternity. Not really, but damn.

[pkiknex25]

Wow...why was everyone planning to build Mantis? That's like 4 people who planned it now.

Wow...why was everyone planning to build Mantis? That's like 4 people who planned it now.

Personally I made the choice because over here, in Israel, we have 2 theme parks that have 1 coaster in each, one of them is a small suckish woodie, and one is the "Kumba", a big 8 inversion inverted rollercoaster. Because of that, I haven't been obviously in parks in America or anywhere else, so I don't really know many coasters, if at all any. So, wanting to make a recreation for my next roller coaster, I started searching and looking at famous coasters on RCDB, and that was one of the only good matches. Anyway, now I found the steel Viper that I really like, so I'll do that (I searched the forum and no-one did it).

[lazor 22]

Build Chang, it's somewhat similar.

[eliavlevy]

Build Chang, it's somewhat similar.

Chang is nice, but Viper seems more feasible for me, and it looks cooler. Good idea, though.

[lazor 22]

Which Viper are you going to re-create?



On Topic: How are you coming along with Mantis?

[pkiknex25]

eliav: What??? Roller Coaster Search Results No woodie, and more than 2 parks and 2 coasters. And last time I checked 3 seconds ago, Kumba is just a standard 5 inversion SLC.

I know I have no chance against Diamondback but I still will enter it if I finish in time.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

looks good! but the first support on your drop is bending.
