My new coaster, just being built

Hineslov 9 is a steel looping coaster(3 tube normal), at 100ft this beast is definetly going to be my best coaster yet!! Just look at the supports, my best made EVER!

Looking v. cool so far! keep up the nice work

Thanks, i had no idea that supporting like this took hours to do!! im on the drop now (the first one.)

i hope you're not going for realism, cos those supports might as well be ordinary poles

what coaster would have them type of supports then, a hyper?

[hyyyper]

bigger coasters have them, yours is quite small, only 100ft,

this one is 98 feet:

Also can you make the lift straighter?

suppose you got a point, it was really just a test to do them sort of supports, dont take away any points if you rate it!!

I can't stand lift hills like that. For your own good, please divide the lift into three parts before putting anymore work in. The first segment should be a tight pullup into it, the second segment should be perfectly straight all the way until about 6 feet below desired height, third segment should be a tight parabolic shape that creates an arch on top. The size of the lift parabola depends on the lift height, and your personal preference.

Well, fu** it, im doing a diffrent one when i get home, i hate starting new coasters it gets on my nerves.

or perhaps you should build a 300ft coaster, then the support structure would apply

ok , nut it definatly will take 3 times as long to make, arrgghhh!

This is why I always do supports last, wait until there are no more changes that need to be made to the track to start the supports, then you wont have any problems.

I usually do that but i wanted to do but it was an experiment!

intamin giga supports are a piece of cake

for example

it took me only 1 hour for the lift hill, and one for the second hill to make....

He didn't say it was simple, just that it's not that hard to do. It's easy if you have the patience.

it is a bit confusing, because you can't see which dots you've already connected,

also the hour per hill is a total, working it in one hours without taking a brake would be undoable
