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*
Just keep scrolling...

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

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]

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.

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.

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.

ha ha mike. [lol]

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!

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.

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