imawesome1124 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 This is one of the most awesome things I've seen in a while! *Thunderous Applause* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Absolutely incredible. I've often wondered if I'd not lost my kits in a fire how big I'd have ended up building- and this would be a good start. The design is sumptuous, the layout flawless. This is something I'd hope a park would invest in for the future. Â R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterdoug Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 That's beautiful! Easily the best K'nex model I've ever seen. You definitely have a talent for woodie inspired models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLFREd_25 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Wow, that looks amazing! Kudos to you! It seems that every time I started a K'nex project, I never had the motivation to finish. Hard work paid off for you, you have a GREAT looking model! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmoreISnAZN Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Â When did you go to Pennsylvania and get this fantastic model from the GCI headquarters?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger01 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 This is a great coaster! Too bad the Knex speed thing will kinda ruin it but thats not your fault. I loved watching this from the beginning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks for all of the comments guys! Â Station roof and the exit and entrance ramps are done. I put a storage track on the side so I have a place to put the second train when I am not running two. I just need to get the trains and NXT running smoothly and I will post a test video of it running with two trains. Plus I don't think I ever did an explanation of how the NXT works with the Knex. Anyway, pictures bellow. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmoreISnAZN Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Fantastic! Cannot wait to see this coaster running completely automatic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLDude Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Out of pure curiosity: How much does something like this cost in Knex parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Holy Cow, Everything is just so perfect!! Â The only thing i don't love is the station flythrough, it would have been nice to see it have a slight tilt towards the loading area, but it still is really good anyway!

ECZenith Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Commando, this is amazing work! Can't wait to see your future projects, I'm impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Out of pure curiosity: How much does something like this cost in Knex parts? Â I have 10 Screamin' Serpent sets plus several other random lots of knex. The only way to get SS sets is on ebay and they can be anywhere from $50 to $80 a piece. But in all honestly I probably have close to $1000 in knex..... Â Thanks for all of the comments guys! I have the coaster almost running and it should be working by tomorrow. I'll have a test video up as soon as the train clears the circuit! But then I have the other train to get running, and the then the NXT to get running.

fraroc Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Its a complete travesty that Knex discontinued their best coaster models, Screamin Serpent and Rippin Rocket. Now they keep making these cheap, 5 dollar kits that make rides that could kill you in real life and overall basically meant for children And not only that, they also have the gall to not even make new sets and just sell the pre-existing ones under new names and new colors! For Example....  This is the Speed Demon coaster set, released in 2010   And this is the "new" Super Cyclone coaster, released 2011   Same coaster model, but different name   Knex dosen't give a soaring rats ass about the quality of their new models, only the quantity. It just pisses me off that the good coasters that Knex made are now so hard to get! That's why I switched to coasterdynamix and never went back.

Commando Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Exactly the new models are not as good. But it is still possible to do some cool stuff with them but its next to impossible to build on the same level the really good screamin' serpent builders can. Â And here's a test vid of Insurrection: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
