I think the pullout is a bit under-supported ;)
Looks great so far Fraggie.

Haha, good thing you told me, I never noticed that ;)

Anyways, here is the drop fully supported. I just built the drop right under the track so there shouldnt be any change in the size. I don tknow, it looks too hyper-ish to me ;) please comment!!!

PLEASE READ!!!!!
Ok, this was supposed to be a looper. But it looks more like an intamin hyper. So, I can either scratch the entire drop and start over and make it more of a typical looper drop, less steep pullout a little bigger, or keep this drop and make it mixed looper with elements from different companies? What should I do???

Edit: I am keepiong this drop, and making it a looper. I am trying to keep it as intamin-ish as possible, even thogh they dont really build loopers. Anyways, it will still be a looper with the same drop!!!

DO THE HYPER! It looks amazing right now! If it were me I would not change that for anything! But it is your decision, do what you think you would like.

I've never seen a bigass intamin looper,I think that would be awesome. Something like a cross between Millennium Force and Fahrenheit.

I would love to see an Intamin-style looper. Maybe something like Colossus or Fahrenheit?

This looks promising. An Intamin looper. Go for it!

Ok thanks guys. Am Intamin looper it is!!! But is the drop ok seeing that it is a looper now? I am prety happy with it but want to make sure its fine. And that s exactly what I was thinking, a cross between MF and Farenhiet (even though it will be MF' size) Might update later on today. Not gonna reveal the first element ;)
Oh and thank you for all the comments. I am so suprised how many I have. Hopefully you will still follow this and keep commenting.

Update time!! Here is the start of the next element. Is there enough banking? You will have to wait until probably saturday to see the entire thing.

I can't see anything wrong, I wonder what the next element will be? And I see you are taking your old hyper down! More pieces for this coaster!

I think the pullout gets too tight at the end. The pullout should get less tight as it gets closer to the ground, not get tighter. If you extend the pullout all the way or at least closer to the ground it should be perfect.

I agree with RWT, the pullout is too sharp. But, for the sake of speed, don't move it any lower to the ground. Just make the 1-granite-high section 2 granites longer and it should be fine.

How is this steel and RWT? And I got a little farther with the track work. I have work after school but when I get back at 9 I will build some more and then you will see what this element is. So please comment!!!

Is that a dive loop? Because if it is, I think it should bank much sooner.

Since when does Fahrenheit have a dive loop?
I think it'll be hard to tell if you need to bank sooner until you start the loop part, but I'm not quite sure. Looks smooth as a babies.....well you know.

V I know but it's two different things

^He means the first half of the Norwegian Loop.

Looks good, but since you aren't telling what you're making I can't tell you if the banking is right.

Or is it a wrap-around corkscrew like on Drachen Fire? Looks nice whatever it is.
