Claustrophobia Heights: Photo TR

[chaos]

So today I went to a new park called Claustrophobia Heights. It's really small, but I still enjoyed my visit. Their one rollercoaster was very good, and so was their drop tower. It kind of remined me of SCBB or Belmont Park, only without the beach. Enjoy the pictures.

Leaving the park

It was really fun, but the seats didn't flip as much as on other Zippers

After the drop tower I got on the Zipper

Detonator and the merry-go-round from the drop tower

The base of the drop tower

The ferris wheel from the drop tower

Then I headed to the ferris wheel.

Insread, I got something to eat

The merry-go-round looked nice, but I didn't ride

The on-ride photo stand.

The ride ops were really fast. Can't you tell?

Going into the loop

The barrel roll drop thing

Coming off the lifthill

Heading into the jojo roll

Since the park was practically empty, I didn't have to wait too long for the front row.

The line went under the station

I then proceeded to Detonator

Does this look familiar?

The loading area

I headed to Chaos first since it was near the entrance

COOL!!! How did you make the Zipper, I have tried but all my attempts failed.

I'm very eager for a Zipper tutorial as well.

That roll is incredibly well heartlined... did you build around a spine/marker or just eyeball it?

I really like your drop ride!! Im in the process of making an Intamin 2nd gen drop. It will use the individual cars instead of the ring.

Whoa! If you could give instructions for your flat rides, I would be very happy. It's unbelievable at how detailed and accurate the rides are. These are probably the most realistic K'nex flat rides I have ever seen!

Some people have way too much time on their hands...

Not to point out the obvious or anything but we are posting on an internet board... We all clearly have too much time on our hands.

 

BTW that stuff is really impressive... I've never been able to convince myself to splurge on the Knex coasters and stuff. They look fun though.

Thanks for all the complements. And, for those of you who want a tutorial for the zipper, here are some pictures I took when I was building it. Note that there are 2 motors in the finished product, but one of the motors is just there to balance everything out. By the way, I had already finished most of the flat rides when I decided to build the park, so all I really had to do was build the coaster, the ferris wheel, and the paths. I started the park in the summer, and only built a little bit each day until now.
