Looking good!
The only thing you could improve it on is add a LITTLE more support. Even a tube support stuck on the end of it would be fine.

OK, right now i'm trying to build Dominator so it looks to scale. Everything is to scale except the cobra roll. I only wanted to use on booster and I need you help to make this work. Here was the gameplan. I would take out the booster, clean and lube my cars, the car would make it through the overbank, and the i would add the booster before the c-roll so i could make the c-roll 8-9 yellows high. That didn't workout as you can see in this video.

So i have some options


1: I use the booster in the middle of the turns pullout as i did before to make the c-roll 7 yellows high and not realistic or to scale.

2: I use two boosters. The first, where i had before and the second, at the beginning of the c-roll so i can make it 8-9 yellows high

3: You figure out a way to get enough speed to make it through the overbank without using a booster, and then use that booster at the beginning of the c-roll to make the c-roll -9 yellows high.

You choose which one.[If you choose option three then say how to gain more speed]

Comment Fast!

^yes his cars are weighted. I would go for option 3. your cars are still noisy in the video, you should spray some oil (siliconen spray) on the axles of the wheels, after that let it run a couple of times through your circuit. Good luck!

Im sorry to say it but i think that you should go with 2 boosters. I think that you will need that extra speed to make it threw the layout, no mater were it is.

GUYS!! I need comments!

Well, i am very mad because Dominator was fixed! It just made it over the overbank and completely through. But then i lubed it one more time and when the lube kicked in, it kept doing a rollback. Is there such thing as over lubing? Tell me if there is and how to fix it.

Comment a lot more!
P.S. I repainted my cars silver!

That happen to me. You have to run the cars through the track for a while to " kick in the lube".

You could try wiping down the track to get rid of excess lube. Also, don't give up, because it will probably start working again in a day or so.

Ok guys, i am very sorry to say but Dominator is canceled.

1: Lack of intrest
2: Lack of pecies
3: This coaster has three boosters on it and its not making it up the c-roll

I am going to start another coaster and that coaster will be finished.

Sad face :(. Well hopefully you do better on this one, and again, build smaller so you don't have to mess about with the amount of pieces you have.
