Commando Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Been following this on SSC, it'll be nice for it to get some attention here. Junes optimistic but when this get dones you'll put a lot of good knex coasters to shame with it. Keep on buildin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&MBoy1982 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Kumba is my number one steel coaster. Do a good job. Remember, there is a height difference in the land that Kumba sits on. Be sure to adjust accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG987 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks for all the comments, guys! And yes, ^ I've taken that into consideration. It's my favorite steel coaster, too! I am sure you guys wanted a test video... http://s1174.photobucket.com/user/Ccreator/media/EFD9F8C7-4249-444F-8547-81F2BC6225E5-837-000000562967DE68_zps90b7d58d.mp4.html And two pictures on the horrible shaped dive loop (not final, I am going to rip it apart and redo it again.)

B&MBoy1982 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It needs to turn slightly to the left after the vertical loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6flagsbrad Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Wow, this is one of the biggest projects I've seen with Knex. This should turn out really nice, keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG987 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 ^Thanks, I'll try to finish strong! Ok, a quick update on things. I have the unsupported Dive Loop and Zero G Roll. I typed a whole bunch more then it got deleted... So time for pics. BTW, some of the elements may look mishapen and that's because of the panorama option for iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG987 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 A quick update video after about a month with no update. Thanks for all the positive comments, guys. Please leave some more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaxster Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 That model is massive. It must have taken forever to put it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Khan Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Amazing. I use Coasterdynamix which is a billion times easier, yet, you seem able to build huge realistic elements with Knex. I'm impressed !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG987 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 I completely forgot to show you guys the video, so better late than never, eh. And my latest model, named Voda. I call it a screwed up looper because it is compiled of Vekoma, GCI, B&M, and Intamin elements all in one coaster! Thanks for watching them, guys. Which one do you like better?

booink Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Wow, very impressive ! I love both, and I really like the beginning of Voda because it is very similar to the beginning of a coaster I made in RCT3 a few years ago ! My favorite is Kumba, tough, I think it's more complex and impressive and it's the one I would like to have at home the most ! But both are very close and awesome !

Sharon29060 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Incredible, both are amazing! Wow, this are the best Knex coasters I've seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomman295 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Wow. Both of those are marvelous. Well done on the accuracy. After checking out some more of your videos, HOT DAMN. THAT EUROFIGHTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwoods244 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I never thought I'd see your Kumba recreation, but I must say that it is the most incredible model I have ever seen. WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
