    That's a good looking coaster you got there. I agree, it's a nice start.
    The lights look cool.

    It's usually a hit around Christmas

    It reminds me of the older coasters with tube lights installed along the track.

    Thanks,
    Thanks for the comments it means that all my hard work finally paid off on this. And now to the update:

    Update! i work on the theming and decided on some things. I cleaned my room and picked up all the unnecessary peices.Taking out all the pieces from under the base that got cuaght under it helped. And also so do taking out any of the bags it might have been hitting. It looks clean to.
    I added a small little quee and a little Picture booth that has your picture on the dive loop.
    Picture!
    Overview

    The quee

    The little booth:

    The moved palm tree:

    This is where the shark tunnel will go:

    And last but not least some thing that I thought would be cool, a video of the coaster running with the Christmas lights off and all other lights off.

    Re: Jaws 5-9 Theming!

    Hey guys just wondering would you like it if it is painted? And what kind of paint should I use? And why have the fourrms been so dry lately?

    Re: Jaws 5-10 Paint?

    Do you mean the cars? If you do then yes. I like the coaster by the way.

    Re: Jaws 5-10 Paint?

    i like the idea of painted cars , krylon fusion for plastics is the best ( i think ), make sure you sand it first

    sand the cars before you paint it, it makes the paint stick better. non sanding works fine, but the paint will come of easier. something i learned modding nerf guns

    Yes. I've been using it the past few days for K'nex. And have spray painted several Screamin Serpent cars with it in the past. Off course, take all the black wheels and stuff off. I used double coat on the cars. You can find it at walmart.

    Re: Jaws 5-13

    As this coaster comes to a close, I plan my Summer Heat coaster. Tomorrow night I will buy some paint at walmart hopefully. I plan to then paint mt cars and lube them again. Hopefully this weekend I will have up the final video. Hope you guys enjoyed because I did.

    Good idea using the primer. I'm impressed with this coaster, it is clear how much you have improved since you started building it.

    Re: Jaws 5-16 Possible Cancel...

    I might just have to cancel this and not make a final video. The reason why is because after I painted them I put them back on ran it, and it didn't even make to dive loop, barely making the loop. I re-lubed them and after that they still just made the loop and sometimes makes the dive loop but never the airhill. I don't know if i'm going to be able to finish. Sorry guys.

    Re: Jaws 5-16 Possible Cancel...

    I think it's because of the tape on the wheels, if they came in contact with them at all it could've made them sticky. I suggest completely washing them/cleaning them out and relubing.

    The thing is my cars are wieghted and lubed. Maybe I will try cleaning the wheels. What if some of the paint got on the wheels?

    ^then get it off! haha

    But actually, use some paint remover or something.

    I don't want to see you cancel this, you've done way too much, and it's made it.

    Smile Re: Jaws 5-16 Solution!

    I found a solution. I cleaned up my wheels and it works better. But it still doesn't make it. I noticed the top of the loop shook alot, so if I add a support it should work because I ran it and it makes it over the hill, and almost to the station. The show goes on!!!

    Re: Jaws 5-16 Solution!

    nevermind about the supports it really doesn't help but apparently the lube finally kicked in and it still just rolls over the airhill. So, every once and awhile it makes it back to the staion but sometimes it gets to the brakes [Track] and it falls back to the high speed turn. But I could just simply install a cain on the brakes and boom problem solved!
