I hope I got the shaping right on the crest and predrop...I'm still working on the drop's shaping though. Commentz?

EDIT: That's Mammoth in the background of the last pic :rfro

I want it bigger! (That's what she said...)

And where are you gonna place your gears?

May sound not that exciting, but I'm really excited for this coaster.

[vv monster]

Bigger bigger bigger other wise it looks good.

[/\ero]

Nice, good and smooth. I also like the angle of your lift, that's interesting ( you can really notice it in the last pic).

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Thanks for the comments guys. I made it 1 gray rod taller.




It's going to be a 270* turning drop, like Alpengeist's.

[Jogumpie]

Great, that gives more options.

[Millcreek47]

Are you out of the buildoff?

I like the structure, the way it lines up and everything. Very unique!

Hope you're gonna have enough speed. Good luck.

Edit: Can I get a close up of the bottom hinges?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

^ Yeah, I'm out of the buildoff. I'll get a picture of the hinges soon.

It looks like the drop will turn 235* instead (so it'll exit at 45* to the lift).

Looks straight towards the end but I like the flow.

[Killerbunny]

Looks good :tmbs ^ I thinks its the angle.
Edit: Does it shake?

[da master826]

I think it needs more banking.

[Kraken]

EWWW where are the tubes? :lov LOL, just kidding. Looks pretty sexy to me

[SwimZONE]

Definitely needs more banking, but otherwise is looking sick. It may need more curve towards the end though.

It seems like every coaster thread I look at has a post from you describing the coaster as "sexy"... I know it's a joke, but it's kind of annoying.

4th pictcure = awesomeness. As mentioned above, there looks to be a straight spot at the end in picture 2. I also agree that it needs more banking. What's next? Or is that a secret...

[Rollerboaster]

Mmmmm sexy coaster! Fix the banking and it'll look even better.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I tried to bank it a little more...but please tell me if it still needs more banking. And that straight spot was fixed when I built the rest of it.







Some pics of the custom motor, gears, hinges, and lift:

[Jogumpie]

You may want to even increase the banking, especially in the lower part.
B&M Inverts have a weird way of banking:

[lazor 22]

Yes you do need more.

[reaperdoctor]

It unbanks too early, but other than that, fantastic!

[the_burrito_master]

^^^took the words right out of my fingers....

also I think your drop's a little too strait.

try something like that

how much power does that motor of yours have ,will it pull your arm up the lift?
