Bump at the end, just before the 2 last crossties. Also Layer your flexis because now you can't punt crossties where the orange/black connectors are...

92% of teens have moved on to rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your sig.

90% of all teens would cry if Myspace or Facebook were destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would sit and laugh put this in your signature

The loop will be the easiest part, You will need a booster too make it over that cobra roll after the small hill. So you wont need one for the loop, I promise.

You need to smooth all the track. Fix the loop, it is know wear near correct, that "bunny hill" has no supports and will kill your speed. If im correct not even GUMP could do this so really, please do somthing smaller. I don't doubt that you can do it with 50 booster but no one will like it.

I don't mean to sound harsh but please, build somthing else so one day you may have the skills to build this.

^ I agree. That un-supported bunny hill will absolutely kill you're speed. Start smaller, and work you're way up.

You're doing something wrong... Why you use a Booster immidiatly after the drop? It MUST have enough speed to get trough the loop.

Did you lube your cars? Did you maybe weight them?
Also make the drop/loop/hill smooth.

Oh, well. But I had a feeling you'd cave soon. Start way smaller and you'll get much better!

Ha, what? Building Colossus..? You never know.

Isn't that the suspended Arrow coaster? Good luck with that. It was a pretty good coaster, although it heavily depends on the terrain surrounding it.
