pretty steep drop. Im not likin that.

Its actually not that steep...

it actually looks pretty good, looks like fun. and, the drop can't be that steep if the top speed is only 45 mph. can't wait to see how it turns out, and when/if it has 3Ds [^]

A drop can be steep and have low speed, it is steep, but its also a sharp drop and wont give a lot of speed, thats why its only 45.

More progress...

Looks great. IMO Twister seems to fit this ride perfectly. I know it's not original, but I usually name my coasters on what seems fitting.

Considering your first half is exactly the same as Ozark Wildcat, I don't think you'd receive more than a 5 or so for originality from me...why not either recreate that ride, or make yours more original? There's surely something you can change up on that first half.

Other than that, looks cool... might want to check your lateral supports though, they're not using GCI style. You have X's, when the real rides have /'s.

[stoning] you moron

gotta agree with Garrett, that drop is too steep and its just ugly IMO.

if you make the dip sooner and make the drop start earlier you can fit an acceptable drop in.

I agree. The bottom of the drop looks way to tight, probaly pulling too many g's for a woodie. The ride looks pretty cool however.

actually it only pulls about 2.6 G's at the bootom of the drop...

Wow, I guess the camera angle was playing tricks on me. Keep up the work then!

They need to be more like this.

See how it's they're pretty close together? Yours spread apart alot and make it look oversized.

^ That's how the ones in the first drop are...

Looks great. Good to see someone creating a GCI with elements actually shaped like GCI's rather than creating gay layouts with drawn out turns that don't ride the least bit realistically.

ooh looks good. Sure I'd love to test, thanks for asking![lol]
What you aren't taking any testers? *POINT SNATCH!*
j/k.

^ lol, i will eventually have testers, just not at this moment.

It looks great, and I love the first drop. Ozark Wildcat has had nothing but good reviews and it looks like a kickass coaster. So, why fix something that isn't broken? [:D]

Can't wait to ride it.

Thanks for all the feedback!

More screens coming soon...

Exactly ... can't believe it took five posts or so for people to realize the majority of the photos were taken under the effect of a field change -_-.

Update!

I have begun the long, long process of custom supporting this beast, and i have a few screens below. Right now i have the supports reach about half-way up the lift.
