Don't use tubes, please use box supports. You are beter off using boxes.

It looks good, but I honestly don't think you have the skills to do this. Especially with tubes.

Yes.
If you use boxxes you might have a chance to pull it off.
And I think that the catwalk is too close to the track.

Given how you built Medusa, I don't think this will turn out. But maybe I'm wrong. It's not terrible so far.

I agree with DDR. I'm not going to outright tell you to give up, but I'm not so sure that you could pull this off either.

We can't tell anything from those angles expect that you switched to box supports. Not like it matters, because it's just part of the lift.

And make it as tall as you think you have the pieces for and for how much speed the layout needs.

Nope. If you want to get it through its course it will have to be at least 6 ft. tall.

Are you kidding me? Like, when after the first hill gets done later? Or later today? Because, If you dont make this gigantic, like the size of CC10's Nitro, it wont turn out well and you will end up with many boosters. Look at this picture.

Also, build boxes under the turn. It's under supported.

Haven't you noticed yourself that your lift is not straight?

Why do you always avoid our questions? Is it because you know we're right, and you just don't want to face that fact? Also, I doubt you'll be able to fit this entire coaster in your house unless you have a basement the size of CC10's.
