Wow. Sexy? Thanks.







i worked on the laterals more:




:rfro

[vv monster]

this looks awsome keep going i dont see anything wrong with it

[G Force]

Looks very nice steel, but the support structure looks a little weak. Man this build off is going to be tough.

[big builder145]

This thing really is a Mammoth! I really like it I love those kinda predrops they are so flowy, and smooth looking. This is turning out great Steel.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Thanks for the comments guys! I think I'm gonna take off the laterals 'cause they're looking really retarded right now.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I see those bumps, I'll try to smooth them out after I build some more. Right now, this is going to be a large overbank somewhat like DB's.

[SwimZONE]

*sniffle*...I'z jelous *starts bawling*.

Now, in all seriousness, I don't like how that first element is, it's just something about it... But it looks nice and smooth. Good drop & pull-out.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

It's not much of an update, just the station...








Yes, those are to-be-automatic gates.

[otis88]

Nice station! It is very realistic!

[iam2fast4u]

you should add a control podium to your station

[RightWayTrey]

Ugh, I don't know why I didn't think of supporting my auto-gates like that. My way on the Corkscrew is really messy (though it is hidden) and was time-consuming to put together.

An overbank on a wooden coaster? That doesn't seem right.

[MP thrill rides]

Very cool station. Can't wait to see more of the coaster.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Thanks guys. The station was inspired by RightWayTrey's Corkscrew station, by the way.
I'm most likely not putting an overbank next. I haven't worked on the actual coaster a whole lot 'cause I've been busy dismantling Levi.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Automatic gates :king






VIDEO

I based it off of how RightWayTrey made his work, except I didn't use a set of gears on each gate. Instead, I have only 1 pair of gears that control all the gates. They'll be controlled by an NXT.

[RidesByDaan]

you have to make a torital of that I can't make the Automatic gates from RightWayTrey
I dont have the grears for it so I realy like i when you make a torital of it ist so cool




-lth-

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Ok here is what I did since the last update:
finished the drop & built part of the next hill
finished up the station (added an NXT motor)
moved it to its final location
lubed the trains, and am about to add weights





As of right now, the train lost about a granite in height. After I add weights though, I'm most likely going to raise the hill.


Oh, I made a giant pile of knex which I'm gonna sort:


:rfro

[NitroDude319]

This looks great!!! I really love your supporting technique. Its very unique for a woodie. Everything is nice and smooth. The pullout is great as well.

[coasterfanatic11]

Lol, have fun sorting that...
Nice automatic gates! The whole station looks just spiffy! As for the rest, I think I saw a small bump in the first picture (towards the bottom, 1/3 of the way over from the left)

-cf11 :cool:

[~stεεlspectrum~]

weighted (88 pennies total) & lubed train
raised hill a bit and supported more
began to add laterals which help like crazy







:rfro

[lazor 22]

Yummm, Toe.

Those Laterals look cool. It looks smooth.
