This is my new Hyper called kombo it will be 5 feet 4 inches and will go through my basement. I have the drop done. It took me a while to build this drop (3 days). Please Comment. I would like to get this done before school begins.



Also this is how many pieces I have. do you guys think this is enough?

Two words: Color coordinate. It makes it look a lot less sloppy. As for your pieces, I'm doubting you'll have enough yellows for this-make it smaller. The drop has some straight spots especially in the pullout, but a closer side view would help.

color cordinate? where should I?

[SwimZONE]

Whole thing

For once, you did something right on your first post! I'd say you have plenty of pieces, and to continue. Maybe make the pull out bigger, but I'd say it looks good, see what other members think.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

what do i color cordinate? the rods? crossties? could i have an example? im so stupid.

[SwimZONE]

You just color coordinate the whole thing, rods, X-ties, 3-d's, and no you're not stupid.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

so one granite box then a yellow box?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

What he's trying to say is, don't mix colors. It makes your coaster look messy. Just make the whole lift hill and drop using either red or green rods, but not both. And use either yellow or granite rods, but not both. ¿Comprendes?

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

ok, I fixed what ^ and ^^^ said to do. I sorted out my yellow and granite rods and my green and red rods. I and now using a yellow rods for everything and red rods for the diagonals. I am moving on to the first hill

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

I have built half of the hill. I think it is an ok half hill. It is hard to get the shaping right when you are building a large coaster. Comments are greatly appreciated.

The valley in between the Lift and the air hill is straight.

[KCB Designs]

The crest of the hill should be smaller as well.

[Outerlimits659]

You know, color coordination doesn't just involve rods. your connectors (particularily the 3-D ones) need to be color coordinated as well. Now could we have a closer side view of the drop like I requested?? As for the hill.......the valley is straight, the pullin has a straight spot, the crest is too large and it needs to be a lot less steep. There are some other straight spots and bumps but fix what I've already said first.

^ I will start color cordinating with the connectors next coaster. ^ I will also get a side view of the drop next update. I will just re do the hill..

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

I am already getting tired of this coaster and I dont think I will have enough pieces for it so I am canceling it.

[coastermaniac]

It sucked anyway...

[Outerlimits659]

As for your pieces, I'm doubting you'll have enough yellows for this-make it smaller.

Yeah....and if you can get tired of a coaster after building a drop and hill then just think about what you're planning to build for awhile before starting-it helps.
