DBru Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well, most of the pics look good, and then comes the last one... Stacking much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schrubber Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The Helix seems overbanked, -0.8 lateral. Try to reduce the banking, so that the forces go to +-0. Greetings schrubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdupuis Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Here is a new clue part of the layout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Yikes! Maybe it's just the angle, but this doesn't look very safe in the back seat... G-spike much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfkk339 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Good coaster! Not as bad as I thought it would be.... The Good: -Nifty Layout -Nice Speed throughout the ride The Bad: -Some horrid transitions here and there.\ -The brakes before the 2nd lift are to hard -The Brakes at the end are way to long and way to many segments... My Verdict, 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It was definitely strange...but fun. I enjoyed the layout, the abundant airtime, and the nice pacing. There were some awkward transitions that, somehow, flowed well. (Don't know what to think about those.) There were few force issues, and the supports were good. So overall, nice work! Next time, I'd just focus on smoothing out some of those pumps, and not relying on trims to keep your forces suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdupuis Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 My trims are only there to assure that the next train can dispatch. They dont affect at all the speed of the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Those short trims shouldn't serve as block brakes, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdupuis Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 I know...but the ride is pretty long, and i have a lot of trains...so that's the only way I found... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I dunno...maybe...not have a lot of trains? Definitely some awkward transitions, and over-supported for a B&M IMHO, but not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
