The crest is fine how it is. I am going to take out the max crossties. I am going to use 4 per rod. Also can I put middle tubing on a lift hill? I am changing this to a floorless coaster named Resurgence.

[eliavlevy]

The crest is good now. Yes, you can put middle tubing on a lift hill, but it must be a bit shorter on both sides so the chain has no problem getting stuck on it.

Ok, crest looks great, but now you want to aim for the flexi's to line up with the current top of the red gears...which means you'll need to move the red gears up a bit pretty soon.

I don't see the point in going with maximum crossties either.

[NitroDude319]

I don't either I was just trying to have my coaster look good. Can you guys please give me a crosstie per rod counting? Thanks for all the comments!

[pkiknex25]

I do 4 per rod on the lift, station, brake, etc; and 5 normally everywhere else.

[NitroDude319]

Ok I will do that first thing after I wake up. Thanks PKI I am glad to see that a legend is actually following one of my coasters.

I agree with Eliav, cut the first layout, so do an Immelmann, then a Loop, (or Loop then Immelmann, but that's un-original) then maybe a 0-G or an MCBR then finish it however you'd like..

and Yeah, 4 per grey on the lift seems cool, and on some of the twisting parts, like in the Immelmann, maybe go to 6 per rod, but only if it's un-smooth with 5 per rod

[NitroDude319]

Hey guys I have more pics: I used the 4 per rod thing on the lift hill, but on the crest I had to use 6 per rod. This is because with the 4 per rod the crest looked HORRIBLE:Pics

Comment!!! Can I move on?

[Britfag]

Looks good, Move on!

Lol, Short response.

[pkiknex25]

You should fix the cross tie spacing, some places they're close, other places they are way too far apart. That probably had a bit to do with your bumpiness you mentioned.

[NitroDude319]

^ Ok should I make them closer or far apart?

[pkiknex25]

Make it so that they are evenly spaced, all of them.

[coasterfanatic11]

Um, I'd say try it again. the crest is lopsided, and there's a "wobble" towards the top in the second POV. Your straight part of the lift has bumps in it in the first picture, too. And in the last picture, your support tower is leaning. And for the support on the ground: try replacing the grey 3d's with half moons, and putting some long grey rods inbetween the yellows (see Ansion's ground supports)

[NitroDude319]

Ok I think I fixed everything. The crest is good the crossties are equal length. The support tower is standing up straight. Also the lift is supersmooth. Pics tomorrow.

[NitroDude319]

Here are pics:








Tell me what you think.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

the crest looks better now. I dont think you should use max x-ties on your lift. its a waste. It would be hard to do a turning drop on this becasue this coaster is tall and you would have to use a lot of pieces with it. Just do a regular drop.

[NitroDude319]

^ Thanks a lot I used max crossties because it was the only way of keeping the lift from getting bumpy. I will use a regular drop also.

[MFFreak]

Yes, it looks much better now. If you have the cross ties, use them. One thing, the footers, instead on using grey connectors, use white half moon connectors. It saves peices.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Everything looks good, I say move on.
