Hey guys, this is yet another coaster from me. Twisted Fury is NOT canceled. This is my side coaster, while I am waiting for something to come in for Twisted Fury. What layout do you guys think is better:

Layout 1 :Drop, immelmann, cobra roll, loop, dive loop, zero g roll, inline twist, brakes, station.

Layout 2: Drop, sidewinder, dive loop, loop, cobra roll, heartline roll, brakes, station.

Crest needs to be bigger and the hill looks really bumpy.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

Lower the top of the crest and make it longer. And not only is your lift bumpy, it's sagging. Replace the 3-D's on the bottom of the lift structure with half moons, that will solve the sagging problem.

[NitroDude319]

Ok I will change those problems first thing tomorrow. I think the reason the lift is bumpy is because I don't have crossties in the spaces.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Yes, switch out the 3d's on bottom for half-moons. Also, don't do either of those layouts. They would be nearly impossible and unrealisticly long, especially with knex.

[eliavlevy]

You can't accomplish either layout.
Cut on the first one and do drop, immelmann, loop, zero g roll, (maybe corkscrew), station.

Your lift is still sagging because you used flexi blue rods in the supports! Definitely don't use flexi's. The crest is smooth now, but it's still a bit small.

[NitroDude319]

Ok I will change the blues to greens/reds. Do you also think I still need to make the crest more longer? Come on guys I need more comments.

[Cardsandcoasters]

Yeah, just stretch the crest out by a yellow rod. Your also letting the track become too steep too soon. Make it more gradual and stretch the crest out a little.

Ok I changed the blues to greens/reds. I will post pics and work on the track tomorrow. Keep the comments coming!

[NitroDude319]

Hey guys I am very sorry for the double post. I was just wondering should I put a regular drop or a turning drop like on sirrocco?

[Pyro]

I would do a regualar because thats just more apealling to me, but its up to you...

[NitroDude319]

No its not up to me because I might put this in one of the upcoming contests, and I need your guys opinion. I will add a poll.

[NitroDude319]

Update!!! I have finished the crest. Pics:

I will change the lift supports tonight.

Please comment guys!!!!

[Cardsandcoasters]

Ok, the crest looks a lot better, but you're still letting the drop become too stee[ too soon. You're going to have a huge straight spot in your drop if you continue like that. And I wish you weren't using max corssties because it makes 'holes' in your track from the brown spacers.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Can you please give us an overview pic? That would really help a lot.
CAC pretty much said it all...make it less steep, and don't use max crossties.

[NitroDude319]

^ Alright in about 10-20 minutes. What should I do to make the crest more gradual?

[NitroDude319]

Hows this:






I think the crest is more gradual. Comment!!!

[Pyro]

Now I think it might be a bit uneven.
