texashorns82492 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 This looks amazing man. The best I can do with K'Nex is the Rippin Rocket haha. I tried making a custom one once, I spent like a month on it and it sucked. But you're doing a very good job. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywood!007 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Option 2 looks like it would be smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Truthfully, 1 seems smoother. Think about it. Option 2, you come off the hill and get slammed sideways, then even out into the breaks. On 1 though, you keep going down while gradually bending into it, then continue the curve as you come back up. Might work best if it popped into a small airtime hill, but still alot smoother overall.

Reon Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 So you went two after all...I still say the other option was better, but atleast the curve is fluid now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texashorns82492 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The only thing wrong with the station is the roof is uneven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Dragster inspired, correct? Either way it looks great, and I can't wait to see a vid of the finished project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calaway Park Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 For keeping the station level, try taking those single gray pieces, the ones with one connector, and the hole in the other end and connect one of them to every single rod on the station, then, take the largest rod you have and put it through the holes on the end of the gray pieces. The pieces I mean to connect to every roof rod look like this: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogumpie Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 ^^I have already added those. Â ^I have no clue, probably a few thousand.

Jogumpie Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Someone from Intamin gave me this picture. It shows the second train being removed. The employee told me Intamin decided to take off the train because of problems with the lift hill. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
