rollerdude Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I might as well post this, but I have been working on this for well over a month. Both tracks are about 4 and 1/2 to 5 feet high. Solar(the red track) has one inversion and Lunar(purple track) has two. The loops interlock, so to speak. I'm currently working on a 270* helix for Lunar, and a very tight, almost immlemann type turn for Solar. Here is the last update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollerdude Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 I got the helix and the immlemann done. Both tracks squeeze through the loop and will now dive to the ground. The only trick is that I have to get them lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 This is the most amazing K'nex coaster I have ever seen! I can not belive how many pieces are used in building it. OMG how many sets do you have? ~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollerdude Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 New update. I got a bit done and finished the drop from inbetween the loops. When I was testing, Lunar's train is about 2 cm in front of Solar's all the way to the bottom. So far, everything is going great. I also moved the coaster back after I took these pics so now I have enough room to finish this. More updates next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollerdude Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Well, its done and fully functional. I ran it for about 10 runs and all but one was aligned the entire time. Im working on the video right now and should have it done by the end of the week. Here is a link to more pics: http://www.sscoasters.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=704 Im probably gonna get busted for that, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
