Blue Jay - B&M Looper

Feeling a bit inspired by the track tennis, I've decided to try a B&M looper on for size. I'm a bit unsure whether I'm going to do twister style trains or floorless, but either way I'm going to get a bit creative with the layout.

Me gusta!

Really like that first element raptor, but the entrance to the drop looks a bit to large, maybe shorten it a little?

And maybe change the hill into a roll.

Good suggestion

The exit looks mis-shapen, but the rest looks good.

I'd have it roll the opposite direction just because it would be a little awkward unbanking from the turn then immediately banking again it the same direction.

did you use newton on your track?

Try chucking in a batwing. Let's see how it goes.

Not exactly a batwing, but pretty much an equivalent.


And its been switched to a floorless. I had to screw around with a lot of stuff to get the heartline switch to work in Newton, but I like the end result better. I shortened up the pre-drop turn a bit too.

I don't like the look of the transition from the loop into the turn, seems a bit forced to me. Perhaps an overbank would fit more naturally. Other than that though I like the bowtie (?), nice little element we don't see very often.

Too much right turns; maybe have the zero G going the other way (anti-clockwise), then left turn into the bow-tie.
