Id go with K'nex, you can buy tons more for the same price as one Scorpion set. I mean they look incredible, but theyre alot more money for less unless you plan on buying more in the future which if you have the cash. I guess it depends on what youre going for. More fun/room to play around with, or realistic/model look I guess to have sit around.

I would buy the same, but it would be In'N'Out Double Double Meals...

 

No really, I would buy the Scorpion. You don't get too much out of it right now, but when you add more and more parts its worth it. I worked with Knex for 7-8 years and it takes too much work just to make the supports. I often stopped workingo n models due to this. With the Scorpion it is more realistic and you get to focus more on the layout and theming. Plus, while the price is steep to start with CoasterDynamix, its very cheap afterwards. You can buy PVC pipe at Home Depot to replace the supports and track, ties, and rails are very cheap. Not as cheap as Knex, but cheap enough to not discourage you from expansion.

I'm not that impressed by coaster dynamix really. Its designed to look really realistic and it does (providing you spend enough time on it). But unless you anchor it really well the track shakes a bit, and from what i've heard you can't easily re-use the pieces so it's not a re-usable as they would like you to think.

 

Also, once the train goes round, you lose the whole realistic thing because it goes round soo fast. I'd say go with k'nex, you can get tonnes more and do more with it. It's not realistic but thats not the end of the world.

K'nex. There's nothing like hearing your roommate yelling at you that your recent roller coaster creation is hogging most of the Living Room space. Or was he yelling because it was blocking the TV?

[TheBannedKid]

My room mate says the same thing...but its CoasterDynamix in his way.

For that kind of money couldn't you at least get a half-way decent hooker for like 20ish minutes?

[Primogen18]

You definitely need no more, hell you don't even really need that lol. 20 minutes?! Trim that to about 5 minutes and 37 seconds and you can get Knex AND the halfway decent hooker... spread your money around a little...

In Amsterdam, that would get you about 4 decent "slores" plus enough money left over to buy something to make you forget it ever happened.
