It looks amazing! I like your tubes better than jogumpie's. How fast does it go on the turn around? Are you going to use 4 or 5 cars?

Looking good. How are the tubes shaking-wise? I wonder how strong the connection is between the horizontal and vertical tubes.
^^Why is that?

Wow, thank you for all of the comments guys!
As of now the train makes it with just enough speed for the cars to swing out. The shaking is very minimal to. I should be able to get a test video up by tomorrow.

Here's a picture of the connection between the horizontal and vertical tubes.
Here's a picture of the trains for SwimZone.
Here's a test video for all of you. I'll fix the shaking on the turn.

looks pretty good so far. It has a good amount of speed. A little shakey but moat tubes do that. Move on! Good luck

maybe make another tube at the other side of the supports, if you know what I mean. I heard a small sound, was that the car hitting the supports?

Lol, The green Flexi that flew off at the end!
I think this is a cool coaster but it seems like the trak is sagging when the cars run over it. Since I have no experience with coasters whatsoever, good luck fixing it!

Damn, that needs to have like double track strengtheners on it. I think you're fine tube support wise, just need to prevent sagging in between them.

the connection between vert. and horizontal isn't very good. it would be stronger if you made the horizontal tube to connect with gray connectors at the 45* connections.
About the shaking... take fishing line and tie it to the top of the tube down to your huge footer. :tmbs it will be invisible and only you and I will know.

I think you need to add strengtheners like PKI said and on that turn, maybe add laterals. But thats just a suggestion.

That's it? aww...I wanted a video...
Looks nice though, is it going to come up or down into the brake run?
