I've been working on a new Arrow Multi-Loop. It's really aggressive and strong, but it is very realistic. I'm finished with the layout. Just need to work out some of the kinks in the track before I begin making scenery. I've started on the supports for the lift and the brake segments. I'm still trying to work out a theme and a name for it. The colors aren't final and can change at any time. If there are any suggestions then please feel free to comment.

screen-shot time.

Some new pics. It's been a slow week because French Club is going under severe reconstruction of it's constitution and rules, and I'm in charge in drafting a new contract that basically will decided the fate of the club.

Image I work on the turn to Arrow-it up a little bit and I'm not changing it after this, only the banking to make it more force-full. Sorry about the bad camera angle it's a lot more different than it looks.

Image Looping supports are have started and almost done. Thickness of the supports are a issue. Any suggestions??

Image First drop and lift apex are now supported.

Image Supports to the Batwing have begun and are almost finished. Brake run catwalks almost complete. E-Exit finished.

Loops look like one side is higher than the other, and your turn is made WAAAAYYYY too nicely in terms of banking such.

It seems better than most so don't get discouraged and give up.

Are you talking about the two loops?? If yeah then it's because they are. One loop is placed higher than the other but they're kinda parallel to each other. Unfortunately I couldn't place them right next to each other because of the supports will take up a lot of space.

No I mean the shaping of the loops themselves is a tad lopsided, not that the placement is wrong. You can place them where ever your little heart wants to.

Ya...thanks I didn't realize that. I looked a little bit at the loops in the editor and they are. Thanks. Now I got something to fix and keep me busy.

I agree with coasterkid. The turns look too good for an arrow. Make them uglier. NOW.
On a happier note, I love the catwalks at hte top of the lift, and the drop look pretty sick. Good luck with this!

Keep the turn as it. I think that a little imperfection is what helps a coaster stand out. Notice i said a little?

^But it doesn't really stand out in a good way if you're trying to be realistic.

The Coaster is doing really good. Having a little trouble with catwalk and the turn after the second loop. But if you guys don't mind testing in with supports missing then sure why not. Just beware of the prefabs. They're there until I finalize the turnaround.

All trackwork after the Batwing has come to a pause as well as the turnaround. Station Work has stared as of today.

Is it possible to make flower-3d's? It would really make the ride alot more realistic. If anyone knows were to get flower or bush 3d's please let me know.

Station will include handicap-entrance. Scenic view of the park and not so much of the ride to hide most of what riders will be riding.


A little bit of the station layout. Color's not final.

The roof will be added later. I still don't know what to theme this to. Any suggestions??

The corks need much work, they are very pumpy. And the top of the first loop is not completely upside down.

The third loop's entrance and exit are too close to together.

Maybe like a fire theme or something bad@$$ like that?

Like Firebird or Flaming Fury or something if you are gonna go with red.

Or not...I mean what do I know?

Image the outside back of the station.
Some photos revolving station work. Almost finished with the station.
I'm having a very hard time with the corks. They come out either too pumpy or smooth but the G's will kill. Can somebody help me with the corks? Anyways, I hope to be finished sometime late-June or early-July with trackwork.

That Deep Purple/Blue is a great color, you should stick to that. I've never been a big fan of the stretched-wood stations for one major reason; they usually don't have color variation. You should make some of the parts of the station a darker tone of white or just a total different color so we can see the details more and depth. Right now it looks all blotched together.
