^no...

Thanks for all the comments you guys. I wish I'd get that many every update... But I have a challenge. 3 more Comments ( that don't just say looks good) and I'll update again asap. If not, I'll wait 2 weeks for my new pieces.

Spoiler alert:

Well If you are not lazy enough. I think that you should make a helix into an MCBR. Just a thought.

No mcbr. It's a model roller coaster, it loses speed really fast, a mcbr will just lose it faster.

1 more comment and you get an update tonight. Ev

Unless you put a chain drive on it. A loop sounds good too though.

Looks great. The cross where the pullin and pullout meet needs to be higher, which will make it shape up nicer because it will make it skinnier...

In my opinion it goes way to fast through those last 2 elements.

That looks much better than before. It looks like you'll only be able to fit a few more elements in there...what do you plan to do?

to get the layout i want i had to have a long straight section, that is the real reason for mcbrs. i dont know when ill be able to share that layout with you because, as you can see, im out of granites.

Hmmm nice man. I really like the overall flow of the ride, sucks I haven't watched this from the start. It looks like there could be a small bump on the last elements where it's transitioning into the bank, but that is nitpicky.

Very nice work man, keep it up.

Looks nice, but if you're running out of pieces then maybe you should change the turn into an overbank and skip the MCBR. Just a suggestion.

for some reason granites are the only thing im out of. i have tons of red rods and 3-ds ect... and i need the mcbr for what i plan to do next. you'll see.

Definatly more banking but I think that's the only problem. Also don't forget to update your thread title!

Yeah, way more banking.
I could have sworn I commented on this earlier, but, whatever.
It looks great! hope you finish it!
Progress will slow down soon because of school, huh?
Whell, keep going.
