Looks good. I really like how you switched from radii, to non-radii, back to radii on the first turn. It looks really cool.

Nice, are you going to ad 45's in the supports?

I love your cars! I'm doing that soon. did you use motel ,paint or spray paint?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

^^^ Yum.

I won't add 45's in the supports. It would take up a lot of pieces, and I think it looks cool without them, kinda like an Intamin prefab.
I just painted my cars with some black spraypaint I found in my garage :/

[NitroDude319]

I like your supporting technique again. It saves ALOT of pieces and looks great. I also think the cars look great, they match the color of the coaster.

88 pennies total

Get one more penny and go to Taco Bell ...lol everything looks fantastic. I like the station and the lats.

[the_burrito_master]

then what will you use the extra red rods for? There will be tons. Track maybe?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

^^^ Thanks!
^ I won't use them for anything...

Update! Yes, that's the station that goes under the lift. I might not have enough speed to get it over to the lift from the station, so I might put a brake run/switchtrack under the lift and have the station be closer to the lift.

station

lift without station

pre-lift section (unless I don't have enough speed)

more work on the hill

Wait is it a GCI hybrid.I'm confused

[Cardsandcoasters]

That hill looks way too sharp to me...Pic 5 (first of the hill pictures) just looks way off. That last pic looks real nice though.

[Rollerboaster]

I like everything except that hill's crest. It seems you are going for an intamin prefab look, so I would lengthen that crest a granite, and probably lower it a white, or black rod. You should shoot for something like this: Colossos (Heide-Park Soltau)

[coasterfanatic11]

Yikes. really sharp crest. just do what ^^ said and it'll be good. Also, what kind of motor do you use?

-cf11 :cool:

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Ok, I made the crest bigger. And I was originally going for a GCI style, but now it's turning out to be more Intamin-ish.

Ok, I have 2 options:

1. Keep this incredibly lame pre-lift with an even lamer tire drive...






OR

2. Have the station be closer to the beginning of the lift, and have a cool pre-lift with no tire drive.


CHOOSE WISELY

:rfro

[SwimZONE]

2, that pre-lift is uncool in SO many wayz. XD

[mynci321]

Yeah, number 2 would be best. And can we get a picture of the fixed crest?

[RCT2123]

Why was that prelift even a choice?...

-Rct2123:cool:

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Haha I don't know what I was thinking. Ok I moved the station closer to the lift, but I'm not sure what to do for my pre-lift. I thought that a water splash might be cool but idk if it would fit better at the end of the ride.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

If you have a water splash, it should definitely be at the end. I think something like on Maverix's Genocide would look cool.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Ok, I will put it at the end if I can.

The tray I would use for the water splash:


More work on the station and block brake/switch track thing:

Station:

Block brake/switch track


I used the same chain for both the station and the block brake/switch track:


Re-did the pre-lift:



Hill:


Eww, the crest looks weird. I'll try to fix it when I build more of it.


EDIT: I ran out of granites so I had to use a few yellows. When my new granites get here, I'll replace the ugly yellow ones.


:rfro

[KCB Designs]

The storage track/breaks remind me so much of MF. And I also like the single chain for both. Nice work!

[Kool Coaster Kid]

looks awsome!! So far the prelift looks much better. Does the chain run freely?
The switch track looks almost like a station!
