ok, thanks guys!! i will fix those. i dont know exactly what is next, i think im gonna go over the pullout of the turning drop the nder the crest maybe, not sure though. might update tomorrow

[Fraggie]

i have a question. i am running out of granites so do you think these supports will be stong enough? it will allow me to eliminate all the crossing granites. also i will add more lateral to reduce shaking. please help.

[pkiknex25]

One thing you could do is add diagonals into the structure every grey rod or so. It'll keep the granite width without using granite rods.

[dylan]

It will be the same strength. Steel is using that style on Mammoth. And that coaster is strong.

[BBaller347]

^^That would work well, but only if he's got the extra 3d's. I say go with the style you posted Fraggie.

[Fraggie]

ok thanks guys. i might not get much farther today because changing the supports takes forever!!! but i will see what i can do.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Those are the exact supports I'm using on Mammoth, but without the diagonals.
The layout looks pretty good now.

[Pyro]

hmm... I should do that on Cannon Ball...

ok, i havent worked on it very much but i have a question. i dont really like that last section. how would you feel if i got rid of everything after the pullout of the turning drop under he lift and just mad another hill? i know you guys want some more twisting but i dont like that last part. please let me know what you think so that i ccan build some more because i cant go to school tomorrow. and if enough people comment, i might update tomorrow.

Edit: i could always get rid of the speed hill and make it as tall as i can to save some speed, that is another option. for some reason i am just not happy with this coaster. i am enjoying building it, but just dont like the layout. again, please let me know ASAP!!!! thanks!!

[Rollerboaster]

I'd keep the twister section, but if your not happy with it just redo it.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I agree with you. I would take all that out and make the speed hill as tall as possible, or maybe replace it with a tall buckel.

[BBaller347]

I like the buckel idea. Hills get boring after awhile, and a buckel would mix it up a little.

[Fraggie]

update time!!! i decided to just go with a hill first, maybe a buckel or two at some other point in the layout. i didnt get much done but figured i should post what i have. here are the pics.




PLEASE COMMENT!!!!!

[nitwilly1]

i great but i think theres is a bump in the last pic i may be wrong but i looks like it from that angle

[dylan]

Yes there is. Nice eye dude.

[vv monster]

In the 2 pic theres a straight spot.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

It looks like the track wobbles ever so slightly in the last picture, but I don't see the straight spot. I think the pullout is fine actually. Nice so far, you should do some small speed bumps at some point, they don't take out as much speed as you'd think.

[RidesByDaan]

nice woodie I realy like it

[Fraggie]

small update and a question. here are the pics first.


now, should i have a turn around to the left, or to the right? PLEASE COMMENT!!!

[RidesByDaan]

ok I think you shoud make the turn around to the right
