Nostalgia by jensenator finally posted!

Yeah. Either that or a dark "lightning racer" brown

I'd go to maybe 20 degrees down the drop and stop the rails.

No problem, I'm just trying to help [:)] I know how it is when you need opinions and no one provides. *cough project 52 cough*

haha, well thanks! like i said, i think its been so long since ive uploaded a coaster, that no one is even interested in my stuff anymore, haha. so thanks for the help griffon!

Im actually liking the colors and if you touch up the handrails properly it will look even better. Imo the colors look nice.

what do you mean by touch up the handrails? change there colors? but thanks!

Yeah, Thats what I was thinking at first but now im kinda reconsidering that suggestion... It really doesn't matter. The coaster looks nice is all I was trying to say.[8D]

haha, well thank you! thats nice to hear!!![approve]

EDIT: now that i think about it, i was thinking about making the handrails gray at one point. i might try it out, who knows.

Yeah try it out, you can always change it back. Grey could work

true true. although i wasnt sure if gray would work due to the color of the sides of the lift hill. it would possibly make them blend in too much. im not sure what other color i would try.

Who are you to tell people to make drops on their coasters steeper!!?? [:P]

Exactly, I hate when eveyrtime i see a B&m hyper made on this site it has some ridiculous like 80 degree drop that looks ugly.

yeah, not every coaster has to have a drop with some crazy steepness. its called making something different, haha.

got the cover on last night. having some late night work periods, was up till about 6 last night, haha. but heres what we have.

going up the covered lift hill:

looking at the lift and drop:


overview:


so yeah, after making the cover, i think im going to do the sides all the way around the turn as well. give it a finished look. just thought id give out a few more pictures. ill probably upload this not this sunday, but the next. i dont want to rush the rest of it.

Woah! This looks good. Wait though, is there a space between those first two out-back sections of track? Like where the lift comes between them (eventually) right out of the station? That would look ugly...

yeah, theres a gap there. it isnt the best looking, but it worked out better for the layout. hope its not too much to effect the overall ride.

also, i just finished the top of the lift hill. put sides up all the way around. ill try to get a picture up tomorrow.

I would say leave the handrails white. it would blend too much with the lift covors.

yeah, now after i have it all built, changing the handrails would be too much. they will stay normal. im going to work on colors and finishing up the station. ill put pictures up of the cover and sides in a bit.

EDIT: more pictures. these are of the completed cover and sides.

so, what do all of you think? everything look alright?

That is a very pretty ride, I love it. can't wait to see how it turns out! And I think the lift coming up between the two out-and-back sections looks really, really cool. I also love the colors.

thanks man! its nice to get some positive feedback!!! i hope it turns out ok when im finished!

^ hahaha, this comming from the kid who said "no one on the sight cares about my rides..." lol.

exactly, im not used to people caring mike, thats why i said its a nice change, haha.

S my D jensen

ha ha mike.

but anyways, i fixed the white color(with a little help from griffonluv) and i think the colors are ok now. i kind of like them. so no i think all i have to do is finish the station, and now probably some bracing, after reading mike's topic about his ride, and i should be pretty close to being done. besides landscaping, thats only minor, so yeah. im about 90-95% done!

what did u change about the colors? i didn't notice a change when i rode it earlier today

its more white and less cream. griffon thought there was a green tint in them, so he gave me a white he used and it wont make much of a difference, but it looked cleaner to me.

Cool cool. I'm sure it looks nice. Wait... I'll just change it myself then I'll know how it looks. haha

Make some "Bobcoaster" bracing on your ride, It will look great.
