I tried to reshape the loop again an retracked it. I think it looks better but you guys tell me. Today if the rain holds off I will start work on attaching it to the drop. I also still need a good color scheme for the cars because I want to paint them soon. Here is a picture of the reshaped loop:

Lol, who's on the swing?

Ontopic: I think they both look a little round but they can pass and is this with laterals added? If so, just move on. As for colours, how about yellow and black?

it looks ok I sorta like more circular loops but if you want to make it teardrop shape go ahead how strong are those supports any way to me the look like they would bend right out of shape every run.

It looks great. But you should consider using a 3 train car. Like on maverick

Looks like the far right support is not straight.That is all I can see. Cool coaster:)

^I agree, the support on the far right is strained. Try moveing it out another yellow rod.
Great coaster!

Well it has been a couple weeks and I have been having some problems. One thing is that the weather has been horrible. Whenever I try to build the weather is so bad I just can't build. Don't think I am canceling this, I will just have to redo some things so that it will fit inside. I have today and tomorrow off so I will try to rebuild some if it and have an update soon. I took this one pic of the coaster it a couple sections for transporting.

^What Pullout?

Well I have been rebuilding the lift and starting the drop. I have finally got it into its final location. I also have to add more lateral supports as you will see but I am going to wait until I finish the drop. I hope to get some more work done this weekend. Here is what I have got:

Finally got some time to work on this. I got the loop built and it works fine. After the loop I will have to do an immelemann because of space issues. I will try to get a test video soon but can't guarantee anything. This deadline is coming really quick. Here is what I have.

^Thanks for getting my hopes up that KCM updated. That comment wasn't very necessary if he hasn't updated in over a month.
