I wanted to try and make a recreation, and with the recent completion of Speed Monster I decided to try and make it. I did this to the best of my abilty. I'm not good with supports, terraforming, or smoothing a coaster. Plese tell me what you think.[:)]

There is only one corkscrew as well.


How do you know? I can't find where it says that on TusenFryd website, or some other websites. I mostly use http://www.rcdb.com/ , and even they say it has 3 inversions. If it only has one corkscrew then there should only be two inversions. If you can show me where it says there is only one corcscrew then I'd be happy to change it.

The Pretzel loop counts as 2 inversions. Check out the pictures from the latest info on the front page, the entire track has been completed. The spot where there looked to be the first corkscrew is actually a switchback airtime hill.

Actually, you need to be blue. I wonder if your monitor isnt calibrated that you think its purple. Its probably from the really iffy photography that Ive seen. Not too many good shots with proper colors or lighting.

Basically, its probably Cobalt Blue which is very similar to Millennium Force.

^Possibly a little darker, but again the lighting is not the best.

I added 3 new screenshots, fixed the switchback/corkscrew mix up, added supports, and fixed the colors again. Tell me what looks like it needs to be fixed and I'll do it. I'm not good with color matching, or fixing pumps. Some you might be able to see, some you might only see well your riding it. And Jakizle the train goes through the switchback quickly, and its just the photo, its not huge. Or at least what I consider huge.

I dont mean to be discouraging, but I would say your switchback is way to large. But keep going, you wont get any better unless you actually release rides and have people critique it. this is just "pre-release" critiqueing.

Heres a picture of the rather small switchback

I just compressed the two switchbacks. What I ment before was their not huge, but their not that small either. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

I added 4 new pictures. Can anyone tell me if the last picture(switchback) is too tight. I can send anyone the coaster if they want if thay want to check out the coaster more.

My comment isn't really about the switchbacks, but the color looks much better now that you changed it and the supports aren't bad either.

Sent. The coaster's supports and terrain aren't done. Also sometimes my email's don't get to a person with a aol account. Hope you get it, otherwise I'll put it on a upload site and give you the link.
