Looks great.
The shaping is great despite using flexis but I always find it easier using grey rods on coasters of this size.
Excited for what comes next.

It's weird because it's a bit steep imo for a hyper drop, but it isn't as steep as the drops on gigas. But that's not really a big issue so if you like it like that, just keep it! The shaping is good.

ThanksLooks awesome. I'm very excited to see what type of layout you have planned.
Don't forget about adding the spacers on the upper gear, once the chain is installed the tension will pull the heat back into the X-tie.
Thanks! To save gray rods I have flexis on top with gray ones on the bottom.Looks great.

Very nice start. Going to be a good coaster!
I like the drop and think it turned out good. The contest is just entering a hypercoaster, I'll have to check the rules again.For a hyper, the drop looks a bit steep, but if you like it go ahead, the shaping looks flawless. What contest in Summer Heat do you plan to enter it in?

I've been following this on your Instagram, and the whole thing just looks great so far! Very smooth and well supported, so no criticisms. I'd love to see a figure-eight turnaround like on Shambhala. Good luck with the rest!

Shaping with both comes easy for me, but if the element is too big I'll definitely switch over to gray rods or at atleast flexi rods with a gray rod spine. And thanks, I try to make each post as best as I canThat's a really good looking turn. I notice that you're using flexi rods rather than grey rods. How hard is it to shape with the flexi rods? Cause for me at least, it's much easier to shape elements with grey rods, especially when the elements are large or spread out.
Overall, looking great! Your Instagram photos are very picturesque.

Looks awesome so far! How much height do you have left out of the 5 foot lift? This looks massive, and very well shaped. Also, do you plan to keep the box supports, or replace them with tubes?

Have you tried testing it so far? I did a similar turn around once and it lost a LOT of speed on it. You may have a beautiful element there but keep in mind it might cost some speed.

Looks great! Those elements can kill serious speed, check out Fraggie's coaster that had one. I think it was Fraggie Force, but I may be mistaken. Definitely test it before building much more.

Thank you, Ive lost about two feet of speed so far. All box supports will be replaced with tube supports.Looks awesome so far! How much height do you have left out of the 5 foot lift? This looks massive, and very well shaped. Also, do you plan to keep the box supports, or replace them with tubes?
I couldn’t change much at the top cause that would be too much of a hassle, sorry.I really like what you have so far. My only complaint is that it looks a bit wide at the top. If you make the diameter of the turn smaller on top it would look better, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Good work so far, these elements can be a pain to create, and I imagine it would be worse with tubes.
Thanks, I’m trying my best to keep speed.Holy crap, that turn looks awesome. Good luck with speed conservation.

I remember that coaster, it was a great build. If I remember correctly he used box supports so he was able to keep much more speed.Looks great!

The shaping looks fantastic once again. I particularly like the aerial view.
Really hope you managed to finish this, but with the first few trickier, larger elements built the rest should be easier.
