Construction Update: I said last night that im not

going to construct any thing today, but my order of chain came in (i didnt order e nuff

go figure :wacko: ) and it doesnt work

with the turn at the top so im gonna make the drop right after the chain instead of

turning so it gonna be like the Banshee coaster in the gallery. Im also going to start

designing the trains im gonna use.

OK heres the deal wit this coaster, i just built the cars

and guess what they are too heavy for the loop but they make it through the cobra

loop. So i think im gonna goa 1/2 loop, then onto the chain lift. Heres a pic of the new

lay out.

They look great but on a batwing dont both sides of the

inversion part of it the same size as each other??????i think.

The arrow points to what its called. Companys call it

different names. Just call it a batwing.

It's either classified as a batwing or butterfly. A

bowtie is different however.The half corks cross over instead of being right next to

each other. I think it only exists on one or two coasters though ;)
