Hey im making a dueling coaster called Fighter.
I have already build a beginning of a station with prelift, lift and a drop.
My plans are to make for both tracks an immelman.

Beautiful. I love the shaping, the idea, the catwalk, everything.

[the_burrito_master]

The crest is a little flat make it more circular your pullout's are too small and it's a little under supported. But overall I like it!

[Kevyn230]

looking nice and as what TBM said the pull out is a little sharp.

[kne` builder]

^I think it is just too small.

Update No.2

I changed the pull out of the drop and i think it look alot better now. Im thinking about making this coaster automatic and already got some idea's.

ah, that looks a whole lot better! And I'd like to see that 'lower part of the lift' with tubing, because it looks narrow. What's next? A loop I guess

[kne` builder]

Thats not what I meant.
What I meant was to start the pullout a bit sooner and make it more circular.
Tipp: On real coasters, the pullouts at an angel like yours, they star at about half the size of the highest point.

How many coaches are you planning on running a train with. I think it's going to cause some issues with that drop between the station and lift.

i am going to use 2x 3 cars

Here is a test video of the lower part of the drop

[Kevyn230]

Looking alright. The part in between the lift and the station looks alright but still looks a bit sharp

[mynci321]

It looks good, but I think it would look better if you started the drops pull-out sooner so it doesn't come so close to the ground.

Update No.3

I have build 2 turns instead of the immelman.

Might be just me but that bend is a bit tight and could cause a loss of speed.

It could not be larger because im building in the living room, and my parrents want to walk normal. I also made this turn so i could hide the right turn under the closet so there will be more space to walk. I think it doesnt slow it down.

Needs more banking, seriously.

IF you cant make the turns biger, pleeeeaaase do the immelmans.
These turns are waaaaaaaaay too small.
For Example on I305:
Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominion)
The diameter of the turn should be a bit bigger than the hight of the lift hill.
And the people often black out on this turn.
And here for the banking:
Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominion)
It is almost 90* banked.
And the drop also seems,I could be wrong,a little bumpy.
Nothing else to say.

You mean like 67.5°? im going to try that.

Im going to make the turn as bigger (im going to change the inner rods of the loop with a white connected to a blue rod (wich is longer than a granite))

Update No.4

Hey i changed the size of the turns and made it as big as possible. I also changed the angle of the turn. Im thinking about making a stengel dive after the turns.

wow.
The banking is awsome!!!!
I will keep this connecting method in my mind!!
The turns look better, but they could be bigger.
But please keep it, it looks great!!!!!!!
