Well, I am finally done with my hyper. I dont know why but I lost all interest in that one. On this coaster, I will not lose interest in this one though, I have a good feeling about it. Here are a few pictures to show you the hieght and crest. I will not reveal a layout so you will have to wait and see.





Please comment. I would really like to get a lot of comments once I start the track work. I want it to be as smooth as possible to save some speed. So please comment when you see an update. Any problem no matter how small I would love to hear. Thank you!!

Looks like another great hyper from Fraggie.

[pkiknex25]

I'm thinking Giga coaster. I'm looking forward to this.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I agree with PKI. This should be good.

[RightWayTrey]

Hehe, I know the layout. Or I did anyway.

Crest looks good, and the it looks like the coaster will be nice and big.

[Spitfire]

Looks good! I love the name. Can't wait to see it.

Maybe maybe not..... I hope I can meet your expectaions

I hope it comes out as I plan.

Yes you know the layout, but don't tell anyone!!! I'm pretty sure im keeping that layout, but I have to figure out how it is gonna fit in my basement.

Looks good! I love the name. Can't wait to see it.

I thought the name was good too haha. Like Steel's coaster.


Here is a small update, but I probably wont update for a week or so. These were the only spare parts I had so the hyper has to come down before I get much farther. I just wanted to make sure the steepness, slope, and in general I was doing okay so far. Please comment.

[Renegade]

I like the start of it, but for some reason the top half of the drop is bothering me. I feel like it's just an inch or so too drawn out. Another thing that should be tweeked is your supports. Yes, they're box & you want them to look thin & clean, but they look a tiny bit weak. Strengthen them a tiny bit more possibly. Other than that, looks smooth as silk. Nice work.

[Maxlaam]

The crest is not a continuous curve, it goes flat on the second part for a moment.

[Fraggie]

Thank you for pointing that out Max. Better?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

Hmmmm...looks like MF, although the large crest might not fit if it's a hyper. I'd have to look at it compared to the whole drop to know for sure.

[RightWayTrey]

It seems like it gets too steep too fast. Maybe make it more like this:

[DDRman732865]

It should be getting exponentially steeper. It should never be sharper than the point behind it until you start the pullout. Basically what ^ and ^^ said.

Well I am going to do what RWT said. But I should have a whole drop done by friday.

Ok, thanks. This helps. I will try to post a new picture later on this afternoon if I dont have work.

Ok, thank you. I will fix that.

Actually, I will post it now. Is this any better? If not I will redo the whole thing when I get home from school. Please let me know.

[Kevyn230]

Looks better.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

The crest itself looks a lot better, except it looks kind of big compared to the drop now.

[Spitfire]

I disagree. I think he got it spot on. Let's compare Milf's drop to his;




Notice how large the crest is and where it's hitting the steepest point. I think it looks great.

[Fraggie]

Ok, so is this good? I changed it a bit.

[maarten12]

That looks very good, I think it's perfect. It really hits its steepest point at the right point. Hopefully you keep interested in this one

[Knexrule11]

I can't really see a difference, but it look's fine. And I would guess the place on the crest with very little X ty's is were the gears are going to go, if not you should add some more. Other then that it looks great!
