I had the idea of making a little paper front for the front car. Just use some clear tape and put it on.

Very nice. Its great to see someone who is inclined to build small coasters instead of huge booming hypers and loopers. This is a breath of fresh air!

Mine is already finished, and trust me, you need to build that higher than that. Mine hits the second chainlink on the lift after it completes it's run.

You need to make sure the turns gradually drop in height so the cars keep a consistent speed. After the second turn you can build a drop, make sure it keeps the speed it gets from that, you will need it to reach the lift. I'll send you a picture from my model in a PM.

I can't show them to the public yet. The only expo coaster that is allowed to be shown on the forums is Loopingstar. We have a deal with the expo that the rest needs to be kept a secret.

Looking good! Use more crossties, and place some diagonals.
Also, the first bunnyhill-thing is not really smooth, so change that.
And, ofcourse: Middle tubing

Quite a boring coaster to build after all, well mine is nearly done. Just some more decals and the motor should arrive tomorrow, then time to get it wired for the expo!
