rollerdude Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Guess who's building again!!! Thats right, I'm currently working on another classic woodie with some pretty unique, but realistic supports. This ride will feature a Crystal Beach Cyclone style first drop, a cross-over, and the legendary 'whirlpool'. Construction has started and the drop is about 60% complete. The multi radii supports are working great and look awesome. Unfortunately, construction will probably be quite slow due to the fact that I'm still trying to hang out with my friends and enjoy summer. Fortunately for you guys, a lot of my friends will be busy for the rest of the summer so at least some progress will be made. Here are some pix of what I have.
coasterJunkie94 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Thats Really Cool I Love these Knex Models!
Vffreak07 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I would say it looks cool, but I can't see much of it. . .
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Umm thats all there is... So far it looks nice!
rollerdude Posted August 9, 2007 Author Posted August 9, 2007 It's slowly coming together. The drop is done and looks great. Next comes the crossover. I will also work a bit on the lift. There will be a batter brace, but I don't know what size to use. I have the bigger size built a bit to show what it looks like, but the smaller size will be half as wide. Here are pics:
ECZenith Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Looks really good so far, cant wait to see it done!

rollerdude Posted August 10, 2007 Author Posted August 10, 2007 I got the crest and pullout finished. Now I have to start the crossover. The only problem is I will be gone until the 19th, so construction will be on hold until the 20th. I know the transition from flat to banked looks horrible, but thats what you get when you don't heartline. Does anybody like the new batter brace? I think I need to make it higher. Any suggestions?
