I am making a new coaster for the Junior Hyper Competion (who isn't?). It's an Intamin 2 seat mini hyper. It's my first ever coaster with elementary, my I add that it's a whole lot easier to use elementary and I'll probably never go back to hand making. It's that simple once you learn to use it. Here's some screenies. Give me some comments please.

*cough*
It isn't eas if you try to make more compley things than you have in your track. Also, it looks like your first drop has no lead-in/out between the two segments, which will result in a bas and unsmooth trasition.

What I meant is that it's easier than handbuilding, becuase you don't have to smooth as much.

Heres a tip for building the top of a lift with the elementary.

Build from the angle of the lift to about 10-20 degrees over level. Start it with a lead in of 5. End it with NO Lead in. 0. Make note of the radius you start with.

Now, to finish off, add whatever number you want for steepness (if we went 20 degrees over level, add 70 for a 90 degree drop). Start it with NO lead in and make sure it starts with the SAME radius so when it connects that its a smooth transition.

Then, end it with a huge lead out which should produce a more gradual downslope to the 90 degree portion. It should look and flow more realistically.



That is, unless you want what you have. This is only to mimic the real thing which its still not 100% but it should come close.
