i know its already done and this is kind of late for a post but the way i set up the lift it needs posting! i wanted to make my station lower, and have a realistic brake run on this model. i went to work, and after about an hour of trial and error i came up with this:

Overview:


The drop and loop:


The dive loop and raised corkscrew:


the raised corkscrew again, the helix, and curve to FBR:


and finally, the new lift system:


Before you decide to build this, the lift becomes somewhat choppy (nothing to really freak out about) when using this setup. and i KNOW i suck at splicing rails, so don't give me tons of crap about that! before you ask, the reason i used gray rails on the station, FBR, and the lift was because i didn't want to waste good phoenix rail where it wasn't needed.

Bumpy. But people like to make their own custom coasters most of the time...

its actually very smooth but when it gets to the helix my rails are so small it looks misshapen. like i said i suck at splicing rails...

That was done in the Griffon/Shekria Models. Looks good, drop needs banking though.

LK: WTH are you talking about?

wat do you mean?

He means the first drop needs more banking than it does now. Pretty self explanitory.
