I third that. The only flaws I can see right now is your hammerhead turnaround transitions. Use my ride Tanner if you need to!

Believe me, we all start off as bad builders in Scream Machines, even I will say my skills are still improving, but have come a very long way since my first coaster uploaded on here. Just push yourself and make a challenge and have patience to perfect it and you'll get it [:p]

You might want to adjust the lift supports. Most B&M Hyper lift supports dont extend out that far. http://rcdb.com/ig4005.htm?picture=3

^I was just thinking that. And yup, Jack is right too. Look at some of my first tracks!! lol and again, yes I'm still improving.

But this track looks promising, I'm glad that we have more SM builders!!!

Other than shaping its looking pretty good. I know shaping is a bit harder to do in SM than NL, but here are some pics still:

The Shaping on the First Drop or the 2nd Hill
No Limits is easier cause the smooth tool helps out im hoping if sm2 ever comes out it has all the no limits tools but it will have more coaster types

All of the supports on the lift hill need to have a vertical column (right under the track) and a lateral support leading from the vertical one. It's not an A-frame support.
Just keep scrolling...

That is most definitely not true. Every one keeps bringing up points from modern B&M coasters, however, older coasters such as raging bull (1st one built) DOES IN FACT use A frame supports on its lift hill.

Hey man, if it supports the thing, it supports it ;)

Do you enjoy being wrong? Or is there another reason you're convinced that this is true? =P
