K1ngdaKa88 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) That are my two K'nex rides: Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro Facts about my K'nex Kingda Ka: Built in January 2014 Height: 4,56ft (100 times smaller than the original one) Length: 16ft Lauch System: rubber band Brake System: friction brake Facts about my K'nex Zumanjaro Drop of Doom: Built in June 2014 Height: 4,15ft (100 times smaller than the original) Up: push up by hand Down: pull on a rope to release the drop Brake System: magnetic brake If you want them see in action, here is the link to the K'nex Zumanjaro: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]And my K'nex Kingda Ka: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] An overview Kingda Ka's launch cable, Zumanjaro's magnetic break and Zumanjaro's rope to release the drop The height of both rides but that is in centimeters and not in feet or inches!

fraroc Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The good: The top-hat is really good. The supports are really realistic and I love the fact that you added a little zumanjaro to it The bad: The second hill is WAY too small. There is way too little space between the station and transfer track and also, I would have preferred it if you used the classic Knex coaster pieces.

Thanks that you like it I didn't had enough space and pieces for a bigger Airtime hill. I was using the micro K'nex track because I only have one K'nex building set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you made Kingda Ka with it? That's pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Wait, you only have one Knex set? And you made Kingda Ka with it? That's pretty impressive. Yes it is one, but a big set with 1113 pieces. It is called: Cobra's Course Dueling Coaster, and like it says it is a dueling coaster so I have 2 cars.

ImNotOneOfYou Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 10 out of 10 Nina Kleppes would like this. It has more maintenance stuff than most things I make in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Looks awesome!! I really like the drop tower! I have tried and failed many times to make a drop tower with Knex! Nice to see you were able to make one work, and you made it work well!! I like the fact you even added the brakes to Kingda Ka! Awesome job!!
