I think that it looks better like that.

LOLOLOL!!!
Can't wait to see more!!!!

[SimpsonsJunkey24]

Intimidator 305!!! FTW!! (i know it's not a recre) Dude that looks slick! That turn looks super smooth. You never disappoint me when it comes to building!

EDIT: Lol that black exercise machine in the backround...those are soo much fun to just flip backwards and hang upsidedown on!

[griffon14]

I'm going to change the supports to the ones PKI and CC10 used on DBack, those are way stronger.

That would let you make the turn wider too.

[/\ero]

In my opinion, the turn should be larger. Not a lot larger, but for a 90* turn, you want to save as much speed as possible. Just increase the radii.

[Jogumpie]

But I loved the overbank, sniff.

[Eggo]

Man, no more sexy overbank. Just, Omg... I see more potential in this layout, not as boring.

[kne` builder]

Bank the turn more and make it a bit bigger.
This really looks sexy, but I think you will have some problems with the lateral G-Forces...
Move on!

The overbanked turn was nice, but this is also very nice. Only i think (even with the supports of coastercrazy) you'll lose some very good amount of speed. I could be wrong with that. But i can't wait to see it max. supported;)

[maarten12]

yep the overbank was nice, and in my opinion not too steep. But I like the turn a lot, the only thing I think is hard to find an element which really fits with the turn

[Chubs33]

I would love to see this leading into a buckle like on the Mega-lites. I don't know though, an overbank is more towards my preference, because like I said, it seperates the men from the boys.

[Eggo]

Do an overbank like Poltergeist's, now that would kick ass.

[the_burrito_master]

Do a six ft hammer head now!

And that turn is only banked at 45* try for 70*-- 80*

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Thank you so much for the comments guys! I really appreciate when you have something to say, rather than just "i love it move on".



Just so you know, I've barely started the track-to-support connections. I'm continuing to add the outer triangular supports that you can see in some of the pictures as well.

[SwimZONE]

Dang. I think I may make a flat turn on my coaster. Looks soooooooooo [...] ooooooo [.........] ooo cool.

[CCI]

I305 much.. It looks really great steel.
Dose it shake much? Cause it looks like it would move the whole coaster.

[Jogumpie]

It started with Millennium Force and now it's gonna be Intimidator 305, haha.

[BBaller347]

That looks totally epic, and I now like it more than the overbank. Like CCI said, it does look like it would slide around a lot and shake the coaster. If it does, I suggest putting 135* connectors on the end of those triangular laterals (if you didn't already, I can't tell in any of the pictures). They would dig into the carpet and hold the supports in place fairly well.

Intimidator305 much?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Yes, the track moves a lot, about an inch (right now). The main tower doesn't move at all though.
BBaller, I tried that, and it's seeming to help a lot so far. Thanks for the idea!

Ton of diagonals, even in ways you might not be will to go.

[the_burrito_master]

yeah bbballer's right I know that the gold track connectors from the classic coaster work great too.

so that's how its gonna be eah steel...

Looks great so far.
