Pokemon Coaster!!!

[spooffa]

Ok, well, this will be the very first Pokemon themed coaster ever ( if its not, please tell me). It's very small, and the layout is going to be very simple. Here are some pics thus far.

The lift


The other side


The Drop


Comments are appreciated!

Gotta hate Pokemon... lol. On the coaster, your drop is a litle straight if you make the pull-out bigger then it will be good. Good luck with this coaster.

[spooffa]

Hey man, don't diss Pokemon.

Ok, I just put the pics up to see if anyone likes it. Yeah i am triying to make the drop more non straight and the pullout longer. Thanks.

BTW, does anyone have any pokemon related names for this coaster?

[lazor 22]

Pickachu or whatever his name is?

Looks ok i guess, footers look a bit week. Make the pullout longer.

[spooffa]

I have fixed the pullout, and it's better. I am going to need some help with the turn around up next. I am going to post the pics but my camera needs to be charged, so I'll put them up ASAP.

^Surprisingly, the supports are really sturdy, but I am still trying to strengthen them.

[coasterfanatic11]

wow, seriously? Just a question but what grade are you in?

coaster-wise, the pullout is a little sharp.

Yeah I Know, I fixed it. It should be better when you see it.

for name suggestion i think "Darkrai, the ultimate(sp?) enemy! or something like that.

[coasterfanatic11]

as in you're going into 8th? because people at my school get laughed at for doing stuff like pokemon and all that junk.

^Yes and it's kind of a joke here. In fact there is a club for Pokemon. It wasn't as big this year, but last year people had pokemon battles at commons (recess) all the time. Unfortunatly, I don't have any pokemon cards, so I've been going to BK a lot since they have pokemon cards in their kids meals.

^^Darkrai is good.

[coasterfanatic11]

personally, I think it's stupid. You could spend your time doing something useful you know.

[spooffa]

^ Well, sorry for being an individual!

My camera should almost be done charging so any ideas on what to do next? I only have 1 ss, 1 rr, and 1 vv.

Lay off. A lot of other people think building model roller coasters is stupid. People have different hobbies.

Like criticizing people on the internet is spending time wisely? People don't, and shouldn't, spend every second of their lives doing something useful. If he likes Pokemon (which I to have loved before), let him like it.

Anyways, I like the coaster so far. It's nothing super wild, but that can be a good thing. I think you should really theme this a ton, That'd make an awesome compact ride.

Ok, thank you MPThrills and imakecoasters.

I finally have an update.

The fixed pullout


The over bank I am starting.


Overview. Cool pokeball right?


Name suggestions are still up.

Comments appriciated!

[Da_Cool]

the thing i like the most is... the pokeball(just kidding)
i think there is a minor bump where it starts banking.

[spooffa]

^yeah I see that now. I'll fix it on the next update.

So is the Pullout better? Should I continue?

[VV Khan]

Pokemon used to rule my world, maybe a while ago but it was still cool. I like it so far, nice and smooth.

Because Knex are SO useful!

[Top_Thrill_Dragster33]

Hey, I'm a Junior next year and I'm still a good fan of pokemon. Some of the anime conventions I go to have tons of fans of pokemon everywhere, not just in Japan but in the U.S. as well so do screw with them, they're still very popular.

On the coaster: as said, beef up the supports and your fine.

[spooffa]

VV Khan: Thank you

Lazor 22: He's annoying, don't listen to him.

TTD33: A fellow Pokemon Ranger! Thanks for the advice.

[< Maxlaam >]

So when is the scenery coming?

[spooffa]

After I am done with the over bank.

Still can't think of a name...

EDIT: I am going to start scening when I get home a 7:45 and i will update than.

Damn, k'nex is a hobby, a stress-reliever. Yes, it is usefull. If we only did the very useful thing we would sleep, eat and take a dump all day long.

As for the coaster, it seems a little small. But lets see what you will do before.

[spooffa]

^I have little pieces and I am just doing to test my themeing skills.

Ok update time! A very small update.

The half of the the overbank.


An overview.


I am going to finish the overbank tonight and tomorrow morning. Yes there are some bumps but I will smooth them out. Also, I am going to be leaving on Thursday June 18th and I am not coming back until June 28th. So, you can PM me or reply and I will get right back to it when I am back.

I think I am going to name it "Rayquaza, the Stealth Dragon" or something like that with Rayquaza. So if you vote against, tell me.

Comments appreciated!
