It looks fine. Move on. It's already better than mine.

Wow. This definitely has my vote in the buildoff. That's a fast lift

Thanks igg, but im not sure mines better.

i know its fast, i was originally gonna gear it down so it went slower, but then the train wasnt maing the second hill (what else is new) so i had to use the drill at full speed. if im able to slow it down i will. i just lubed my cars before the video and they picked up a lot of speed, it used to just make it over the secon hill but now makes it over fine. we will have to see. thanks though!!!

any more comments?

That looks great! You should move on. I agree with steel you have my vote so far! Good luck:)

[maarten12]

yes more comments ... I think to get more speed use a fifth or even sixth car on your train. It always helps me to get more speed, and I'm sure you lubed and weighted your cars, isn't it? But looks really good, nice woodie!

looks good to my, and nice speed to.
what next?

I've tried using a fifth car, but it shakes to much and the speed is actually decreased. And I've figured out that the coaster has its days. One day it will work perfectly. Then the next day, it doesn't even make it over the second hill. Hopefully it will still work when im finished, it would really stink if it didn't. Then this will be the third one in a row that ended up not working.

Thanks!!! Next the helix is going under the supports of the start of the helix into a brake run, then station, and finally end with a pre lift turn. Hopefully t will work. But after that is done, i need to add all my themeing. It all has to be done before Christmas Eve.

Oh, and I'm almost out of cross ties so the last few parts of track are getting a little low. They might only have 4 or 5 cross ties per green flexi instead of the 7 which i have been doing. I am also taing name suggestions. Something related to christmas or winter.

Thanks for the comments and look for an update sometime this weekend.

I love this coaster, it is so realistic and it does make it with the perfect speed!! You always built good coasters. What kind of theming had you planned (i know about the tree) but do you also planning other theming??

[Fraggie]

WE HAVE A FULL CIRCUIT!!!
Well I had a little trouble getting it to work. My black and white train was loaded with pennies but didnt work. I even raised the lift from a small black to a silver just to get that small amount of speed that I needed. But nothing worked. So I filled my green train with 12 quarters in each car and it works fine. I even think it has too much speed, but that is for you guys to decide. So here are the pictures, and I am still looking for a name related to christmas or winter.







Edit: heres a test


Edit 2: one more thing, shoulld i lower the lift back to what it was?

[Rollerboaster]

Impressive model fraggie. Kinda seems like a mix between an old woodie and a gci.

[BBaller347]

I like it a lot. Very nice coaster Fraggie. It's got a great flow to it with that extra speed.

EDIT: I also like how the green train looks.

[SwimZONE]

Wow, that looks really nice. I'm glad this woodie finally worked for you!

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. (In other words, don't decrease the lift height, because it will probably just lead to more problems) It looks great though, I'm glad you finished it on your third try! Will you add a roof to the station?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Awesome job Fraggie, I think this is your best coaster yet. It reminds me of a GCI. If you do anything about the speed, try slowing the lift down a bit.

[RCT2123]

I agree with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it". It works, your happy, we're happy, all is well...

^I totally accept with you! I've done that once on an old coaster, and I was sad when it didn't work anymore! Great coaster btw!
