QueerRudie Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 OK: I give in. You win... Here's a shot from a new park under development- Flying Gardens. This is the CR Coaster, Hurricane, and the Platform built around it. (Yes, I know, this goes against my general principles, but here goes anyway. Â SCR73.BMP See? It's a building. And our NEW Intamin Wingrider (Non-inversion) Â SCR75.BMP And the queue line, too. Yes, More structures. I feel like such a weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emberfoot4565 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I redid the second half. I think it turned out pretty well! What do you guys think? teaser coaster new.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Aha, an original RCT park! Â The only thing I don't like are those corkscrews. The train would probably be tearing through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDipper 80 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Continuing along with my current desire to re-create Intamin launched coasters... I don't have the Sketchup skills to model the volcano itself, but if anyone wants to build it when I'm done with the supports, I'll gladly send you the track file!

Commando Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I am the only one here who does knex? Â Â Â Â This is the B&M looper I have been working on. I am currently working on the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 That's pretty freakin' incredible- all around. I seldom see K'nex construction with that level of style to it- Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSiRockin Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Lots of nice screens recently. Â Knex coasters are really neat, that one seems to have a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClarke0912 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 A K'nex coaster with realistic supports? Yes please! Â I prefer CoasterDynamix, but honestly, I prefer NoLimits over CD or K'nex. Less manual work, more benefit (greater detail). Although, you can't display your design on a table or something lol.

coasterfreak101 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I absolutely LOVE when people do Knex with tubular supports. So nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 It's not a B&M Looper, it's a K'nex looper. I don't understand where you get B&M from, I mean, B&M's coasters aren't made of plastic bits that snap together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 ^If that was serious... he is referring to the way the ride will look when it's finished, it will be a B&M Looper. If B&M actually used K'Nex it would still be a B&M right? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I am the only one here who does knex?    This is the B&M looper I have been working on. I am currently working on the loop.   How much does something like this cost roughly? I know the K'nex serpent coaster is the most expensive of their models, at least from what I've seen. How many sets are required for something like this? I love building things and using my hands and have bought a few of the smaller 20-40$ k'nex models but have always been intrigued by the serpent.

Screamin' Serpent sets are about $60 - $80 with shipping off of ebay. I have I think 9 or 10 of them and that will get you something the size of this: Â Â And yes when I say its a B&M Looper I mean its a knex model that is ment to look like a B&M looper. For example in the video above I built that model to resemble a custom Intamin mega lite. Â A.J. says: When you use tags, make sure to include the whole URL. Edited September 14, 2011 by A.J.

harper83087 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 ^Awesome! Thanks for the info. I haveto start looking into this because it looks like a great way to pass the time. I've been thinking about creating a Maverick recreation with the smaller models, the only issue is I don't think I have the space to build it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSiRockin Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I like this layout, might edit it though. Thoughts? Â design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkeymon Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Instead of another loop how about a corkscrew? It will make the ride seem to flow better. If you do the loop, have it go through a trench like Montu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I like the loop, if it was a corkscrew he has basically made a raptor recreation, with a different finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSiRockin Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Thanks everybody. I'm going to edit most of the post-MCBR part, I didn't really notice how short it was (it's not horribly short but it's bad for it's height). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
