coasterfreak101 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Wow! I expected this to end with the coaster being done, but you're still going with the station, lines, and even the crane!

Eric_Smith Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 First of all This is Totaly Amazing!!!! Second, is that sped up at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogumpie Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Second, is that sped up at all? Except for the POV, every part of the video is at normal speed. The POV would be too blurry to see, so I pushed the train kinda slowly through the ride to record the POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Wow, that's amazing! You must have a LOT of patience to put together something this massive! Congrats, you did a great job! Â I need more patience...and more room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastermaniac Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah, awesome coaster. I don't think anything could top that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogumpie Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Â Hello everyone. During construction I kept a lot of pictures hidden from you. This is because I haven't told you I was officially involved in the construction. Now the roller coaster has been completed, I was allowed to publish them. I won't post them all at once though. Every day you will see about 10 new pictures. I hope you will enjoy them. Â Â Â A lot of support beams have been shipped. Â Â And there is a lot of track too. Â Â The first track is in place. According to the supports, the lift hill will be right here. Â Â Yeah! We're going up! The first part of the lift hill has been installed. Â Â The crane is placing the next part of the lift hill. Â Â And yet another one! Â Â New support columns leading back from the lift. Â Â Gears eh? This has to be the station. Â Â And the station track is in place! Â Â Nice! Some extra columns to support the station floor. Â Â Looks like there will be a separate queue for the front row. Â Â That's where the passengers are going to exit the trains. Â Â Â And that's it for today! Be sure to check out tomorrow's pictures; including the topping off of the lift hill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 You just had to make a crane. Â Â Simply awesome. You rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Boy 8 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hey, that is a really cool coaster!!! It is one of the best, relistic K'nex custom coaster I have seen, WELL DONE!! I also thought the POV was quite good as well. That overbanked turn is soooo smooth and I love how you used your own type of support, other than the boxy type that you build for the SS model. Â Anyway, I got a couple of questions for you: 1. How many boxes of SS or R'n'R did you use to build it? 2. How do you slow the train down when you come out of the very high G-Force turn enough so that it catches onto the chain? Â Thanks, CoAsTeRbOy8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you slow the train down when you come out of the very high G-Force turn enough so that it catches onto the chain? 1. Uhm... track-wise there would be used 2 or 3 SS's. 2. When the train ascends the lift hill, it automatically slows down to the speed of the chain and then gets lifted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogumpie Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007  Sorry for being late. My friends were more important the past days, so that's why this update was delayed. This time you will see 10 new pictures. Including the topping off of the lift hill.    It looks like the lift hill is gonna be very tall!   Another piece of the lift.   Is that the brake run?   Lateral braces are very important at this height.   Oh my! The top is going to be placed!   Going up!   Yes! It's in place!   Hmm... work has started on a turnaround.   Those supports look sexy!   The track pieces are ready to be installed.     And that's it for today! Be sure to check out tomorrow's pictures; including some trackwork on the bückel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Wait. . . so you're building it again? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 ^ I feel the same way... I'm a little lost or is going to be a little different this time?? Either way I love how this looks it's just like a real coaster it's so sweet!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
