wow this looks a lot like Intimidator 305.

i love it steel

[Rollerboaster]

You can add silver rods to the 3ds on the turn so they kinda anchor it to the carpet. It's actually very effective.

Looks good Steel! I'd just add lots of laterals, like PKI said. *sniff* I kinda liked the overbank though... *sniff*

Another update, with an almost-completed air hill and some more supports on the turn. It doesn't make it yet but I hope it will once I weight/lube my train and finish supporting everything.







My favorite view:




:rfro

EDIT: I'm considering recreating I305, but I'm not sure. I really want to build a recreation, but I also think I could come up with a better layout than I305's. Any advice on what to do?

[the_burrito_master]

That looks strong! the hills crest looks a little uneven lower the top or raise the edges before the top.

This is going to be crazy....!

Edit: I'd like to see a recreation but only if you give it it's signature lift supports.

[maarten12]

wow, it looks amazing. I can't wait for the twisty lay-out. BTW this beginning of the coaster reminds me to piraten.

[Sniggeh]

Do the recreation!!!!!!


EDIT: And I305 had its first test run yesterday!!!

[Jonny]

WOW!! That looks good!! Looks like you are taking apart Celsisus.

[kne` builder]

You should DEFENETLY RECREATE I305!!!!!!!!!!!!
please...

Looks AwSoMe

[Fraggie]

Looks great steel!!! I'm not really sure what you should do though. Think we could have a test video when you get the train to make the hill? I want to see how much that trun moves and how fast the train goes.

[Kraken]

Celsius lost its cobra roll! ahahaha >=D

Dude, if you make it so that the train clears the hill, that would be some epic speed preservation. Oh, and those radii supports kick ass.

[Old_Hag]

Please recreate I305. However, if you are going to do so the crest of the second hill must be more gradual.

[Millcreek47]

To be honest, I'm not diggin' the recre idea. A recre doesn't show any creativity, and half of a coaster is creativity. Honestly, I would like to see a massive overbank after this hill.

I say do a custom.

[SFMMCrazy]

I SAY DO A CUSTOM.Its better making a custom cause you can soon make a recreation that is at SFMM.DO A CUSTOM please!I'm making Batman the ride or maybe I305

[Sniggeh]

^Hey, if you're doing an I305 recre, that's awesome. I just want one on the site.

Nobody cares. And your 'dibs' is worth nothing either.

Really?? Point out the 'bickering'. It's called opinions, and if you've got nothing to say, don't post. Please.

St33l, it's up to you. What you have looks fantastic, but if you're doing I305 then lower the hill steepness as well as the crest.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Thanks guys! Still debating...

Bad news: it doesn't make it
Good news: it almost makes it



I have two options: make the hill just short enough so that it makes it, or make it proportional to I305 (quite a bit shorter) and make it a recreation.

But at least the turn hardly shakes at all

[SwimZONE]

I305. It's ur destini!

In all honesty, yes, go with I305, I know you can do it.

[Jogumpie]

I305!

You say it almost makes it, but it's still quite far from that. The distance between the middle car when it reaches zero speed and the top of the hill is still too big to call it 'almost'.
