Second half of the ride? Am I missing something?

^ He is talking about where the small hills are the same before and after the turn around

This coaster is looking great! Very nice and very smooth, I would like to see a well detailed station to top it off

^What? No the rides almost half over.

Anyways heres a test video, today i finnished the lift and added the chain.



I need to buy more 3D connectors so no updates untill then (I have like 5 left) Comments?

[NitroDude319]

I like how it looks. Also the speed looks very realistic. Keep going!!!!

[spooffa]

Your probably not going to get much more out of it with that speed. I like it a lot.

[Rollerboaster]

^Couple more bunny hops will wrap it up nicely.

Looks great, one of the best woodies I've seen in a while.

[G Force]

Thanks guys, yea a few more hills will Finnish up the ride.

My 3'd connectors go here on Monday but, I was sick and didn't build until Tuesday. I haven't really got much done but, I have completed the track up to the MCRB and the pre-lift. The X-tie in the 3rd picture shows how far the train makes it. I'm going to go back and add track strengtheners to the pullouts and hope that works.







Pre-lift, the support colors will be changed depending on the pieces I have left.

It looks good! does the middle car make it there, or the front?

-cf11 :cool:

I'm glad to see that you're going for a longer layout with the motor on the MCBR. Nice job!

[NitroDude319]

Wow this is very good. I am also happy that you are going for a longer layout. Keep going!!!!!

[G Force]

Thanks guys, I'm trying to make the layout the best possible for the MOTY (just in case Diamondback isn't finished.) I had to take the turn out because I just couldn't get it to work. I tried everything. I kind of like it this way better though, I would make a better layout.


Sorry about the weird pic, It was super dark so I tried editing it.


The room I have for the turn.


Any one have any ideas for a turnaround? I'm not really sure what to do. Comments

[NitroDude319]

Wow I like that way more also. I would say either a helix type turnaround or a woodie hammerhead ( would be epic).

[TripleHelix]

Looks sweet so far! You could probably do a drop into an upwards helix to the right to have it go parallel to the first hill, and then a buckel over the first drop. (And some bunny hills too, of course.)

[the_burrito_master]

Verry cool. maybe gear the motor up a bit so it will go faster those motors are just too slow.

[G Force]

Holy hogwash! An Update!

Well in the past 4 and a half months I've actually demolished more than I've built! I have taken away the MCBR and the 2 feet of track I compleated after that. Insted there will be a hill into a turning pullout that will exit next to the first hill, then there wil be some sort of buckel over the first pullout into some bunny hops and a very long break run. I have almost no pieces left, but will get a few more after I take apart my Rube Goldberg Science project in a week or 2. Picture time...


The crooked X-tie at the top of the hill has been fixed...


The room I have for the turning pullout...


Happy New Year! Commment?

EDIT: Supports are not compleat.

[dylan]

It's about time. I like it. Good job man.

[Little Kuriboh]

I missed this completly... It looks good. Can we have a picture of the peices you have left?

[G Force]

Sorry for the delay...







Comments Appreciated...

[Old_Hag]

There seems to be a little straight spot/bump right after the gears at the crest. Other than that it looks perfect.

[G Force]

Thats just the banking of the turn, it makes it look like its a straight/sharp spot. Anyone have any layout ideas, Im not quite shure what to do next.
