onewheeled999 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Wow, that is really awesome! I'm just wondering, how did you brake the train at the end? I don't have a Knex roller coaster set, but I just want to know. Is it a flat chain lift, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacoking Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Whew, that's a lot of Knex. Pretty cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaminacan11 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 ^^There is some way that you rig up this thing where you get some of the track tubing hits the side of the train. It is kind of comlex looking I think. It is almost like Schwarzkopf brakes where the brakes stop it using side fins on the train unlike the usual bottom fins on B&M's. That coaster was very cool though. I grew out of knew coasters, but if I had that many sets, I would still be building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMorgan Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Wow, I honestly didn't know you could make coasters that were that realistic with Knex. The other ones I've seen look like toys, but this one looks more like a scale model.... almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yeah, I've seen this on YouTube.. actually looks very cool. The corkscrews are very well built for K-Nex too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I always wanted that rollercoaster set from Knex but I never got it Very cool coaster though. Well built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thats amazing. I built a regular model on mine but it turned out like crap. Man congrats to the ones who built it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I remember being like 12 when the first one came out and how hard it was to build. Can't believe they've made like 10 new sets since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 wow real lookin' like GASM at SFGAv yeah! loops are pretty small and looks we gotta feel tough g's! let me get it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 WOW! I remember getting the Screamin' Serpent roller coaster at about 9? I built it in two weeks, it's still set up in my basement. That was cool - he added all of the things that knex coasters SHOULD have; he added brakes, a station, and CORKSCREWS! The guy who built this must have had a tough time building the helix and the corkscrews... amazing construction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 heh, i may be 17, but i still love making knex rides getting a new box set (hopefully) on wednesday, the day i turn 17! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-L-R-8 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Why is nobody aknodledging the fact, its a freaking vekoma!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBannedKid Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The coaster in real life may be a Vekoma, but with the Knex track it is actually worse. Imagine if Vekoma decided to switch the wheels to the outside of the track, but they left a good 6 inches or clearence between the wheels and the track...ouch! Anyways, this coaster was made buy a guy in the Netherlands...I think its Jogumpie on Screamin Serpent Coasters forums. Funny thing is that he didn't think the coaster was very good. Theres some amazing stuff on the site, which is arguably better than this coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major bummer Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wow that is cheesey look at the Knex coasters @ sscoasters.net This is my friends coaster MB P.S. look him up his name Twisted Dreams Loop and Boomerang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 ^ THAT is cool. I gotta get me another set for Christmas, all of mine are starting to get old, the track cut too much from too much use... I just wish models could be built more realistically. If that was real life it'd be going like 300 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
