chaos Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) I went to Japan with TPR last October. I was inspired to build a recreation while wandering around Himeji Central Park. I'll post an actual construction update tomorrow, but you can see what the real thing looks like in this video - plus the moment when the idea for this popped into my head! Also, I never realized how TOGO track is probably the most similar thing to the K'nex coaster track in the real world.

chaos Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Construction is progressing. The structure is pretty hard to get right, but I'm still building much more quickly than usual. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 On to the loop! Hopefully this will be the last update before I move the whole thing outside. Also, tube supports are REALLY HARD to build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Working on the hill after the loop. Still getting used to working with the tube supports. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Completed the track for the two corkscrews (still need to finish up the weird supports though). Getting really close to completion! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The support structure for this coaster is very interesting. I love the way you supported the loops. Looking good! Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
