Cocaine [NL] (UC) {Update 9/9/10}

With Adelphia nearly finished it's time to start playing with NL again. This time is an El loco esque coaster called Cocaine. Cocaine is 134ft tall, with a 130degree drop, that pulls some insane airtime back row. Right now I have 2 inversions and a very compact layout. The supports are unique, I gave myself a limited number of support columns to build my supports off of.

Right now though I only have 2 screens of the drop, enjoy, looking forward to your feedback.






Why is it called Cocaine? because it love you up![:D]

Aww, I thought this was going to be a political discussion

I'm sorry to disappoint?

Nah, it looks like a cool coaster!

I like the look of this. Can't wait to see more!

Dammit, I'm in the middle of making an el loco esque coaster!

I thought this was gonna be a GerstlCrazy coaster

I was also expecting a massive attention whore as well. Reminds me of the chinese one they just built.

More layout, it's not very smooth at the moment, I'm focusing more on shaping and layout than smoothness at this point. once it's all complete I'll smooth the poop out of it.

Tanks4me won't be happy to see that twisted beyond vertical drop.

What is that first strange element called?

Hm I dont know, It doesnt have a name yet, but it will by the time it's done.

lol nailed it.

You mean "badly shaped corkscrew"

Your implying it's meant to be a corkscrew at all, It actually started out as a Barrel roll with a bank entrance and exit, like the second inversion, but I found it was smoother, and more fun to have it like that.

Seems like you latest ride got a 6.5 for technical. I hand build my jet coasters but use saved elements. My jet coasters don't ever seem to pull any high Gs like your ride. But my track work is just ramp hill elements and helices from busters element pack. Can you make perfect elements and paste them into a smooth layout?

... My el loco coaster is better....

while thats not a bad idea, unlike the jet coasters I try and do something different between all my rides, weather it's successful or not, so it's harder for me to simply copy and paste elements.

Excuse the double, But I'm re-tracking the ride. After giving the ride to a friend and he pointed out some issues they became more and more prominent and I realized I'm not truly happy with the layout, so keeping the drop I'm re-doing the entire ride. This layout as well as being better is also smoother. I'll have some early screens tomorrow.

Updation station, new layout, smoother, longer, more forceful (Pulls more than 5gs, sue me) This new layout has something the old one did not, flow, it flows well together, and thats what I like in a coasters, a good solid layout.

Seems like a pretty cool-looking ride, looking forward to seeing more progress! However, I was sort of hoping that it would be a bit more "spaghetti-like" in its compactness. Is there a lot of the layout left to go, or is it pretty well finished?

There is more after the second brake run there still is another 1-2000ft of track left. also dont forget it will look and feel a lot more compact once it's fully supported.
