I think it's a pretty good idea.

[Jonny]

Update!!
Hello everyone!! I know most of you guys right now are really mad at me because of all of the threads but, now this thread will be for every thing!!!
So far I have the lift and drop done. Yesterday night wall it was a blizard I decided to paint my cars, weight them and oil them. It took like 3 hours because I spent most of the time oiling my cars ALOT. OK
I will be shup up and you gus can have pics;):
Overview:

Drop:

Crest:

New cars!:

21 pennies under each car!!:




Tell me what you think. I will not be able to do much tonight because I have to study for a Sol. studies test, and I have regular homework to do. And I have to make Valentine's cards for my class.....

The crest should be a bit bigger, and the predrop less steep. Also, somthing dont seem right about the drop.

[BBaller347]

Ha, valentines. I remember those days...

It looks pretty good. The only thing I suggest fixing is the sharp transition from pre-drop to drop in the first picture. Maybe making the drop go farther to the right from that picture's perspective would fix it.

[Eggo]

Removing the flexis in the transition will fix it. It needs to be smoothened out.

I fixed that already.

I will fix that

I will remove the flexies from the transition. I just cant not build. I will have an update on the loop tomorrow.

Anymore comments?

I think it needs more banking.

Inspired by that small b&m looper I cancelled much?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

It shouldn't be so sharp and steep at the top, and should get more gradual as it gets nearer the bottom. It could also use a bit more banking.


Like this, somewhat:

[RCExtreme]

I agree with omgwtfbbq, it needs more banking.

[DDRman732865]

^^ Agreed. The transition needs to be less sharp, and it definetely needs more flare. Like this:



Sorry, best pic I could find of Luminous, but it should give yuo an idea of banking.

Ok!! I think that fixed the drop. The cars go threw the transition without hitting the cossites. And I added more banking.
Last night I finished the loop!!! I add tubing in the crossites and the drop so it is strong. The cars surprised me because they go zooming throw the loop!!

I know the loop looks weird but, that is because of the angle. It really is fine.

~!COMMENT!~ :mnky :mnky :mnky By the way this is my winter buildoff entry..

[scott]

Looks good keep moving on.

[Eggo]

No, that's some Major lopside. It's not the angle, try to shape it like this-

[DDRman732865]

It's kind of egg(o) shaped. Try making the top a little rounder. It's also a bit asymectrical.

I will get on that. I will not be able to do much tonight. There is an Hawian party at my school tonight. I will have an up date tommorw on the dive loop.
And I now have the rest of the layout. Dive loop, zero-g-roll ove the lift, helix, turn around, station, jojo roll and lift. I will repet this again. THIS IS MY WINTER BUILDOFF ENTY.

Anyone comments? i need more opinions.

[Poseidon]

Uh-oh, J-boy used caps......Looks good, except the lopsidedness of the loop.

[Rollerboaster]

Fix the loop...And nobody said you can only have one thread, it just annoys people when you make a ton of coaster threads and then cancel them all.

I know that. iI wanted to make one thread because of that reason and I thought it would be kind of cool.

[Kool Coaster Kid]

I agree with eggo. You should make the coaster bigger too, you have enugh parts.
