Alright, I want you guys to guess the name of my new woodie.

Hint #1: It's close to me, and I've ridden it.

Anyways, back to the coaster... I've gotten the lift, mini-turn, and drop. I have a few questions about how to improve it, but pictures first.



Before I show you the last picture I'm going to ask the questions...
1. should I have more track to structure connections?
2. should I make the drop less steep?
3. should I make the drop longer for the pull-out?
4. should I keep the front car the way it is?..

[CCI]

The drop needs to be much less steep on less it's T-express which I highly doubt.
also add flexes and shape the drop with you hands before adding supports. Hope this helped.

[kne` builder]

1:Yes
2:Yes
3:Yes
4:If you like how it looks and if it is good enough for your course.

I have no idea what it could be.

[DDRman732865]

1. Always.
2. Given the height, yes.
3. Always.
4. I don't know. I think it looks awkward.


Is the name from Kennywood?

[Aeater333]

Is it pippin from kennywood?

[Kevyn230]

1: I don't think so
2: Yes
3: Leave more room for pullout
4: Yes the car is looking good

I like the lift hill. It is really nice.

[Cedars650258516]

Sorry for not updating in a while, but I was hooked on Call of Duty.
Anyway, I do have an update, and I think this is coming along niceley...



and I weighted my cars!


Hint #2:
It is not in Kennywood.

[DDRman732865]

Pullout is still too small.

[Kevyn230]

The pull out of the hill is too small and you need a bigger pull in for the next hill. But it is looking very good and smooth.

[TheSUCKCrew]

Driftwood?

[Cedars650258516]

Driftwood?

No, and I'll give you a hint in this update.

I made the pullout/ pullin bigger, and started the turn. Pictures...





This is the letter at the beginning of the towns name (Yes it has a baseball team, they're the A****** Curve... AA Aphilieate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

[Kevyn230]

Well I am glad that you fixed the pullout of the drop and the pull in of the next hill but there is still something bothering me but I don't know what. Well looking good, keep it up!

[the_burrito_master]

I can't make heads or tails out of that last hint but the coaster looks nice.

[CCI]

it's skyliner from my home town of altoona. Nice.

[Cedars650258516]

WE GOT A WINNER!!!!!!!!!

[CCI]

I did a 100 lap marathon on it once.

[Cedars650258516]

Who wants an update? I know I do!!!

Pictures of the Skyliner!



Comment!

[DDRman732865]

Pullouts could be bigger, but it's too late to fix it, so it's fine. In the second picture, though, the turn looks inconsistent. It doesn't keep the same radius throughout.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

Actually, I think he did keep the same radius, he just dipped it in the middle. I would try to smooth out that dip, and bank it a tiny bit. I'm liking the rest though, good job.

[Cedars650258516]

I got more done and not only did I build, I went to Altoona to see the coaster when we went with ACE.
I rode it a couple of times and said, "I think MY coaster is smoother, and that's REALLY makng a statement," lol.

anyway, here's an update...



Oh yeah...
I made this on photobucket the other day
How do you like it?
It's me on my baseball team.

especially the last pic!

EDIT: OOOOoooo, I just realized how bumpy that behind-the-lift valley is, already on it.
