Yes, im back.
Introducing my new knex looper, Valiant. I haven't built anything for a while and im eager to get started.
I haven't built anything except for the lift:


The layout im planning is: a predrop, turning drop, loop around the lift, a dive roll, a zero g roll (i might make that a MCBR), interlocking corks, station.:

[Millcreek47]

I'm diggin' the layout, but the crest is too big for a B&M looper, which I assume you're making. Just make it a bit smaller.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I love to see so many people coming back. The layout sounds great, I'm looking forward to this coaster.

[BGEurope Kid]

Like Millcreek said the crest is big, but I think you will fix it when you build the predrop. I also think the layout is pretty sweet.

[DeAzncy]

Made predrop, please criticize :

[Outerlimits659]

Crest is a little pointy now, try to make it a bit more consistent. The predrop into the curve has some nice flow to it, but it looks a little cramped for the drop size you'll be doing. I would try to make it a bit more lengthy and spead out. I like that layout you have though.......

If you want a loop around the lift, you definitely need to stretch out the drop a bit more. I also don't really know what was wrong with the pre-drop before

Okay, i did a bit of work on the predrop and drop and i think it's looking better than before, but please criticize:

Well, I see two problems with this.
First, If you're planning to make the loop go around the lift, The drop is going to have to be much bigger.
Second, your predrop rises. It should be keeping the left side of the track flat, while the right side goes down. (I think)

[RCT2123]

^ Technically yes, but it looks awesome.

I still think you are going to have trouble getting a loop around that lift.

This is just an idea of the drop, I'M NOT DONE SUPPORTING.




Please criticize.

[Kevyn230]

It looks really fine to me. Just the odd few bumps but that is all so... Just fix those and support it. Can't wait for the next update.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

It's too banked for most of the way going down, I think if you fix that up, the whole drop should look much better.

[DeAzncy]

^I think I fixed that, with this very late update:




if there are any problems, please comment ^^b

[Kevyn230]

It looks fine to me. The only problem 'I' see is the bottom but that is because it is unsupported. Move on in my opinion.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I think it starts dropping too quickly, the first 90* should be closer to a flat turn.

[Chubs33]

I think it bows out a little bit too far with that much bank in the beginning. If you were to reduce the bank, you can keep that shape. But with that much bank it looks like it's setting up for a tighter drop.

It's good to see you building again my man...

[commando]

support that bottome and fix the bumps and i think it looks great!

[DeAzncy]

I think it starts dropping too quickly, the first 90* should be closer to a flat turn.
