I don't like the lift supports. Either convert it to tubes or do the normal "triangular support" lift. Other than that it looks pretty sweet (but it doesn't look like you have enough room for the lift pullin)

I like it!! It just probably needs some more elements in the coaster eggo and Old Hag then you MIGHT like it better. I say move on!!

I have no idea what you are gonna do with that pre-lift. A grey rod is not much room at all.

Okay, I think you need to straighten out what kind of coaster your making. Right now, to me, it looks like a hybrid woodie with a vertical lift and tube supports on the drop. I think you should first make the lift supports look better, then decide whether your using tubes or boxes. Also, I'm not a big fan of the drop. I think you should try make the lift go diagonal in the box so it can be longer. Then make a 135 degree turning drop that runs along the outside of the box. Then you can do like, an immelman or something.

Why doesn't anyone comment anymore? What did I do that nobody follows my coasters anymore?
Anyway, another update because I'm home from school, sick :P. I fixed the lift supports, I hope that who ever is actually looking at my coaster will like them better (not that many people are looking). I also finished the first drop and started the pull-in to the first element (still undecided what it will be). Please, please, please, comment!!!! :)

Can we have a front view of the drop? Do a sea serpent dive next.

The tubes look really messy. I would make some better bases for them, then you won't need so many tubes and you won't have to connect between them as much.

The shaping on the drop seems pretty good to me, it just needs some more banking.


Edit: If I counted correctly, the lift would be too tall with the cars on it.

I like it a lot. I actually kind of like the way the tubes look coming off the lift and from the center of the base. Does it shake much?

You have way more tubes than you actually need. I also vote you do a sea serpent next.

i still sthink i should keep them like this because as it is right now, there is absolutley no shaking on the drop. its very solid and it makes it through the immelmman no problem. and sorry guys, i had no idea what a sea serpent dive was and i already started the immelman. please tell me how the shaping and banking/unbanking id for the immelman, but ignore the part after the last supprted part, thats not done yet. please comment!!

It's like you're turning and not twisting. It looks like you're doing a very awkward cobra roll.
