coastercrazy 9 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) This is a work in progress. All supports, except for the launch, are custom. I am trying to build my supporting skills. Tell me what you think! Enjoy! It is a multi launch coaster, the second launch is before the inverted top hat. The Launch! General layout overview After the inverted top-hat. A funky looking exit to a helix. Right Now this is the Signature shot of the ride! My progress so far in the top hat... A very force full, but fun turn My progress on the first overbank.

coastercrazy 9 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 An update for today... Most work on the top hat is completed, and from the launch to the zero g roll almost all supports are complete, and a few minor tweaks are all that need to be changed. Enjoy! I still need to attach the track, but the main structure is basically complete! These are what most connections will look like. An overview... Full shot of the newly constructed supports! Full Track Overview!
accelerate Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 My main criticism is that the top-hat is way too far into the layout. It should be closer to the launch. Other wise, this looks pretty good!
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 I know what you are saying, I noticed that too, but I had the idea of a multi launch so I figured I might as well have a very BIG second half. Thanks for the comment!
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 Todays Update! Yay! This is the section that will be included in the next update! This is the awkward support! Two new A-Frames! New Top Hat connections! High speed connections!
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 I finished the first half of the ride, and started the sections after the top hat. I have not been able to do too much supports because school is getting harder as the semester moves on, so I present you with a still unnamed coaster! If you have any names, or themes, or color changes, please, PLEASE comment! Enjoy! Showing where the last update left off. Hey, I found the train! Look at that brand new A-Frame! Many single supports, the only non custom on the ride! Just a couple more singles... New Top-Hat goodness! This is where the supports will stop for today. Full ride overview.
Ace Of Spades Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 This is actually pretty neat, and has some great elements! The only thing I'd change is the absolutely *terrible* paint scheme. It's really hard on the eyes. >.> Keep up the good work otherwise!
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Posted December 15, 2011 ^I know that the color scheme stinks, but blue has been done, red has been done, yellow and orange has been done, and my other coasters are green and black! Any suggestions! Lol!
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Posted December 15, 2011 I really had to this coasters color scheme, I came up with three, can you please help me choose one! Light purple, Blue/Green ties and spine, Purple supports. Black spine, blue supports silver rails, blue ties. Orange spine, black ties, blue supports, silver rails.
Ace Of Spades Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 All the options are better than the original, but as a personal choice, I'd pick number three!
Vigil Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I'd go for option three, but I may be a little biased as I go to UVA...
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Posted December 19, 2011 Lots of work has been done! The top hat is finally completed. In the next one or two updates the entire ride could be completed! Enjoy the pictures! Brand new top hat sexy-ness. Connect to the left! Connect to the right! Big stengel dive... New cross supports. New A frames. I love this transition, and all the g's are green! Very twisty supports to come... Maybe the last overview of the construction process!
Ace Of Spades Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Looking really good now! Can't wait to see it when the supports are finished/terrain is all dressed up with trees and etc.
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Should I make it have thick forestry, or a swampy environment?
KDCOASTERFAN Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Looking really good now! Can't wait to see it when the supports are finished/terrain is all dressed up with trees and etc. To make things easier how about adding supports as you go along instead of creating the full circuit & then having to go over it section by section adding supports?
accelerate Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I usually do things the way he does it, adding supports later. That way, your layout is uninhibitted.
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 I guess that I just like to see the full result as I go. That way if a support looks really weird I can fix it.
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 I really need some help developing a name and a theme, if you give me a good one I promise to credit you! Sorry for the double post!
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 You better watch out... You better not cry... You better not pout I'm telling you why! Coastercrazy 9 is sharing very soon! Happy Holidays! I still need help on the names and themes! Sorry for the triple post.
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 The support structure is finally finished! Now I need your help to develop a theme, or landscape. Very large update today! I love the way this turn came out! Sexy Curves... Even more curves! Overbank-ness! Final curve... Final Construction Overview!
coastercrazy 9 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 I really have no clue what name or theme this ride should have, can someone PLEASE help!
