ok now i know what you're all thinking, he is just doing what everyone else is doing and making a giant hyper coaster. but i was planning on this since the end of may, before the other ones were started. i couldnt get to involved in anything because i had final projects and then finals. that's why there was a period of no updates during Desert Hawk. and i just wanted to build another tube supported coaster. so, as a lot of people have already said, here is my big hyper.

Can't tell much w/o tubing, but It looks great! Maybe, elongate the pull-out. Two questions,
Why don't you add tubing to test it?
Why don't you add a base to the lift, It stops sagging, but I see it doesn't sag right now. Just saying.

I think the pullout looks fine. The crest seems to be to flat, pull it up some.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

Looks good! Hav you decided on the layout yet?

Great, i want to build a hyper just like this one =]

[Jplaz]

Connect the lift to the drop at the bottom, and have a support from the drop to the ground...

Looks good, Ive been working on mine for a good month now, but have been too lazy to post it on here...so i can gladly say im with you on being a non-follower.

lazor 22: you think it is flat? here is a pic.

Kool Coaster Kid: yes, iggfish helped me with a layout.
Jplaz: i will connect the drop and lift.
SwimZONE: here is your drop with tubing

[SwimZONE]

It is flat, I think you should change the rod length from the to of the lift to the 90* connecters to a white rod, not a green rod.

[iggfish123]

It is flat. I also think you need to make the pullout more of a constant curve. Right now it looks as if the bottom is a little sharp. I think the beginning of the pullout may be a little straight.

^i think i fixed it, the drop seems consitent but i will get pictures tomorow.

[Fraggie]

update. i started the turn. dont know if the crest is too small but tell me what you think.



please comment

[Millcreek47]

yes, the crest is too small. and has a flat part in the middle of it.

[LCAL]

Resemblance much?!

Lol, looks great! Continue with the rest of the turn...or does it drop now?

[LukeIsLuke]

^^I think the 2 rods sticking out make it look straight.
I think it looks very nice so far.

[Fraggie]

i already changed the crest and made it bigger so i will get pictures up later.

[Little Kuriboh]

Hmm. I think i see a sharp spot right after when the first hill finishes going upwards thers a small sharp spot. Looks good so far!

[Fraggie]

ok here is the new crest and the new location. i used tubes to reinforce the drop and pullin because they were shaking a bit. the only thing is that right now the train is not making it throught the turn. but as mikecoastermaniac learned with apollo's chariot, they run better when is cold. so tonight when it cools down and is not so humid i will make sure it works. here's the pictures:

Spot on! Only thing is if you plan on entering this in the MOTY, you'll have to take out that tube support, and replace it.

[BBaller347]

Looks picture perfect:). Hopefully it works tonight!
