Comment please and be harsh!!!

Looking good so far, definitely a "please continue".

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Good luck with this one! It looks like it starts banking a little suddenly right after where the gears will go (it might just be the angle).

[BBaller347]

^I'm pretty sure it's just the angle. If you look at pictures 3 and 4, it looks good. Good luck Fraggie!

How long do you have to build this (when does the buildoff end)?

[Jonny]

are you kidding me! You took it down again. It looks good so far. Good luck!

[Fraggie]

i got a little farther, but not much. and i would really like as many comments as possible between updates and to get some constructive critisism. i want this to be perfect so if you see a problem, no matter how small, let me know. anyways, here are the pics: oh and just fyi, i know there is a straight part, i put it there on purpose.

I like the way the turn flows and a straight drop would sure fit the coaster. The colour coding is also very good.
Expectations of this ride? Quite some.

Wow, I really of the flow of that turn.. Move on, Its spot on.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

The only bump I see is right after the gears will go. I really like that turn, it flows well.

[SwimZONE]

That flows really well, but in the last pic, on the bottom left, it looks like the supports look stressed.

I dont see the bump that you pinted out but i will go over that whole section to make sure i fixed it.

i dont know which supports you are talking about. can you draw mw something or just explai which ones?

Thank you for all the comments guys and keep 'em coming!!!


UPDATE!!!
finished pullout. and yes, there is a huge straight spot and please ignore the start of the pullin, it isnt fully supported yet.






next in the layout will be a turn around. which way should i have it go? over the lift and behind the lift supports, or turn to the right and have it go back over the first pullout? please let me know!!!

COMMENT AND BE HARSH!!!

[Millcreek47]

I really dig the straight drop with that first turn!

I think you should go behind the lift and turn it to where the second pullout is crossing at a 45* angle to the first pullout. Have the second pullout's supports be a head chopper for the first pullout, if you know what I be sayin'...

[~stεεlspectrum~]

The 3rd pic looks cool for some reason. That looks very good, and I guess the bump might have just been the angle. I say you do a left turn over the lift, then go back under the lift and cross over the first pullout like Mill said.

[BBaller347]

Well, Millcreek and Steel took the words right out of my mouth. Definitely a left turn over the lift, through the lift supports, and then over the first pull-out. But make sure you make the turn really big like the turn right after the lift, I think that would be awesome. This is turning out great!

[Fraggie]

started the turn to the left. i am going to make it slope down slightly. im not sure if it will go under the lift supports or over though. any name suggestions yet? remember this is my christmas coaster. here are the pics:






Comment and be harsh!!!

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Looks really good Fragz! I think you should go under the lift.

[SFMMCrazy]

looking good frags keep going

[RCExtreme]

Wow, this looks amazing. I agree with Steel,the turn should go under the lift supports.
