10303 Loop Coaster MOC! Building it 1.2m (4ft) tall and extending the track for more running!

So we've finally finished and settled on the roller coaster design! And here it is, the loop coaster MOC with a much taller tower and longer drop. We swapped the loops around and stabilised everything with new supports. The run time of the cars on the track has been increased by 50% also, it's now 6 seconds when previously it was only 4.
All we need to do now is swap out the colours for the dark blue pieces used on the original coaster and change all the track to yellow.

Fantastic creation, glad you managed to solve the structural issues

[@brictronic]

Thanks a million!

[@lennynash8221]

It looks great and seems to be running almost flawlessly 👍 👍

[@brictronic]

Almost! I don't know what happened when I was recording but that's the only time there's been an issue with it since I set it up in that configuration.

[@lennynash8221]

@brictronic that's Murphys law for you lol. But even real roller coaster break down once in a while 😅

[@brictronic]

Yep and in fairness, I can handle that. The original set is a nightmare though, keeps breaking apart!

[@lennynash8221]

@@brictronic yeah, yours seems to run the best that I've seen. So you're definitely onto something, with extending it and moving/adding supports. 👍 looking forward to future updates.

Great job, huge improvement 👏

[@brictronic]

Yeah, delighted with it. When it's finished, it'll be a great feature in the fairground

[@1974xela_bricks]

Looks great ...👍

[@brictronic]

Thanks 👍

[@cksbricks7791]

Amazing work!! Love it !

[@clipsiesbricks]

Wicked awesomeness!! Love the improved and supersized coaster!!

[@sharkboy892]

Very nice setup! I am trying to copy your track but my carts won’t pass the top of the second bigger loop. Maybe you can help me out?

[@brictronic]

Thanks, yeah, it was difficult to get right. What I would suggest to check the alignment of the loops, I found if they were out of line by a millimetre, it wouldn't run right. It was a helluva lot of trial and error to get that right

[@sharkboy892]

Yeah I see.. Respect! Im trying for 2 days now and still hard to get it working. How you get the rails from the tower from half tiles (3 tile, 2 studs) to full tiles?

[@brictronic]

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question? But if you haven't checked out the final video, last video I uploaded a few weeks ago, it has the final design working properly and might help you out?

[@sharkboy892]

Yes I saw it today, so awesome!! I am trying to figure out what the stud diffrence is between the rails to get a good alignment. In the original set the track begins on half studs with the black round steering things. So I was wondering how you did your baseplate work with studs diffrence?

[@brictronic]

@sharkboy892 ah, now I understand. I will be back in the workshop tomorrow afternoon and I'll give you a definitive answer
