sydney Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 This is half of the lift hill and the turnaround at the end of Project 10. Also, these are the two different designs I am choosing from for Project 10. The first design deals with loops and hills. The second design deals with 10 big drops and airtime hills. More than likely I'm going to choose the second design. I'm still a very very long way from being complete! 2nd design of Project 10. This design deals with 10 huge airtime hills with no loops included. More than likely this will be my choice. 1st design of Project 10. Mainly deals with loops and hills. Turnaround back to the start Half of the lift hill
CP_RULES Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I cant really tell how long the diesigns are from the low-quality pictures, but how are you going to keep a k'nex coaster going for that long without it stopping?
sydney Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 Well, not all of the drops are going to the ground. They will still be in the air. Therefore, the drops will alternate from left to right. When it's complete, you will see what I mean.
Ccron10 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 That looks like a big layout for a k'nex roller coaster, are you sure you have enough pieces?
sydney Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 That looks like a big layout for a k'nex roller coaster, are you sure you have enough pieces?I hope I have enough pieces. I have 4 screamin serpent sets and 1 rippin rocket set. Pray for me!
keepmerestraint Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 That's really cool dude. How long do you estimate it will take? Nice little project. You might just get the record for biggest K-nex coaster ever. Ye ha!

You might just get the record for biggest K-nex coaster ever. Ye ha!Well, I believe that Project 10 will probably be completed on January 1, 2007. I started on November 11th. I will be updating you on Project 10 for sure!
keepmerestraint Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Keep the pictures coming buddy! I'm very interested in your progress. good work!
sydney Posted November 14, 2006 Author Posted November 14, 2006 Keep the pictures coming buddy! I'm very interested in your progress. good work! I'll do that. Project 10 will be a beast in roller coasters!
sydney Posted November 22, 2006 Author Posted November 22, 2006 Project X is back with a newly designed lift hill and its first constructed drop! One drop down, nine more to go! I've also built the curve at the top of the lift hill. I changed the lift hill to this design for a couple of reasons. First of all, it definitely saves me more supports. Second of all, I will be able to cooperate with the motors a little bit easier. So go ahead. Take a look at the almighty, Project X! Here's sort of an overview of the beast, Project X! This is the curve right after the lift hill. Here is the new lift hill design. This is the first drop of Project X(10). It's beautiful!
sydney Posted November 27, 2006 Author Posted November 27, 2006 Project X's 2nd drop is now complete! 2 down, 8 more to go! I've also finally put the tubing on to see it easier. The train goes rides at a perfect speed on the track! It goes not too fast, but not too slow. In the future, I will be putting more crossties on the track. I'm lovin' it! Overview of Project X The frirst drop with tubing looks very smooth! The curve at the top into the first big dip! A view from the first drop The second drop on Project X
jedimaster1227 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I like the drop at the end of the final overview photo! That last one looks wicked with its twisted vertical-ness!
mister myagi Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 I wish these drops where for real. The first drop looks like X
RRollergod Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Eh.. Its very smooth but the steepness and repetitiveness of the drops dosen't please me. But thats just me I like things more realistic. Good Work!
sydney Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 Due to the amount of space that I have, I have 2 options. First off, I just want to say that Project X will still be a beast in roller coasters no matter which layout you choose. The first option is to include 10 small hills(drops). The second option is to have 6 humongous hills(drops). I'm not sure which one I want, so you decide! ??? Which do you think will be better?
sydney Posted December 2, 2006 Author Posted December 2, 2006 Project X's second hill has been redesigned! Airtime!
coasterlover420 Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Wow, looks like this coaster is going to be LONG! Looks really good!
sydney Posted December 14, 2006 Author Posted December 14, 2006 Project X is back! I know it has been a long time, but I have been very busy. I apologize for the wait. It's that time of year now.(Xmas)Well, I took pictures of Project X about a week ago, but didn't post them. Here they are! The second turnaround and the third drop. Also, if you have been looking or voting at the previous poll, 6 big drops won over 10 mini drops. Take a look at present construction done on Project X! The second curve of the ride. It rides very smooth. AAHHHHH AIR! The onride view of the second drop! The 3rd drop is nice! Just imagine if you could ride......
coasterguy4 Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 One word... Spectaclular!!! Terrific job!!
