Yea, they must on the outside. They doesn't help on the inside.

Looks awesome! Also as VVB pointed out, the laterals should be on the other side. Great work, keep it up!

Cool coaster! Love the boxes! I think if you make it big, and Diaomondback isn't running, you will have the hyper in the bag!

IMO "Unnamed B&M Hyper" would be a sufficient thread title...
I like the coaster so far, that first drop is sweet. Can't wait to see the rest of the coaster.

Wow, thanks for all the comments. I will put the laterals on the outside of the turn when I get home in about 25 minutes.

Well, I didn't put the laterals on the outside of the turn, but I got half of the hill done. The only problem is that it doesn't come close to making the hill. Will lubing and weighting the train give it enough speed to make the hill?
EDIT: Here's a test vid.
Can a mod move this to Directed or Sponsored Construction?

wow man, you loose so much speed! 
I think it's because of that turn right after the drop 
. Don't keep the turn or make the hill smaller.

Lube your cars and weigth them if you didn't do that already. I think that sharp turn is a large part of the problem though.

I lubed and weighted the cars, and they go a little bit faster now. It still doesn't make it though, because the supports for the drop and the hill are shaking like crazy now. I'm wondering if I should make tube or box laterals. I'm thinking about using boxes, because I don't have much experience with tubes.

I think the transition between the turn and the hill kills a bunch of speed. If you make the unbanking more gradual I think it will help.

Well, my friend/future stepbrother knocked over the coaster and completely messed it up. So, I am going to make a VV looper for my buildoff with franko. I won't be building with SS again until I make a recreation of Dodonpa at Fuji-Q Highland in Japan.
