Starting on July 13th, the construction of my free fly coaster will begin, the reason why I'm starting construction on that day is because I'm having a party next week and I want people to see Star-8.

Here is a picture of the layout(Taken in RCT2).

Here are a couple pics of what the free fly coaster car I made looks like.

Before you comment, the coaster will be 3 to 4 feet tall, so it won't be too tall. Also, the layout may change if I run low on parts.

Edit: I'm open to take any names for the coaster.

Not bad! I like how you modified the cars a little to make them stronger. As for my Free Fly, I have no idea how I want the layout to be, but I probably will want it compact.
Wish you luck!

I'm still open to take any names for the coaster. Also, I might enter this to MOTY.

The crest and pullin are too small.

[J&Eproductions]

Move the gears so that they are just coming out of the crest so that the car gets pulled all the way through. Also make sure you stretch out the crest and pullin..

I'll fix it.

I'll fix that right away.

Youre not and better at supporting than you were with VV....

[NitroDude319]

Wow your supports look pretty weird... I think you should look at completed coasters and see how they put on the supports.

If you want me to fix the supports, I can do that.

I know they look weird, but I'll try to fix them.

I tried to make a freefly train that used 2 front ss cars but it was way too heavy. It had all of the articulation it needed but I didn't have the time to try and support it. Also you should try to work on your train and make it look a little cleaner, and your trackwork too.

Update:

I added the lie to fly element, here are the pics.

[qwertyuiop]

the turn is a bit bumpy

[Ccron10]

I think you need to stengthen your supports better and use some crossbraces. Just replace a gray rod for 2 yellow ones and add 2 red ones to the top and bottom and do the same thing all the way around.

[DKCF]

Update:

I added a turnaround, an MCBR, etc.

Here are the pics.

A test run video:


Before you comment, if you want me to fix something, I will try to fix it. There's a 50% chance where I might try to fix some parts.

[kodi43]

It's very shaky. You should add diagonal rods to the supports and make them a bit stronger. Looks good other than that.
