Man, it has been absolutely ages since i have touched knex. I was just sitting outside thinking of this idea for a launched coaster, then i really started wanting to mess with my knex. I dug all of it out from storage and started building. I was very afraid i was going to lose all of my building skills since i hadn't done anything for a long while. I guess its like riding a bike, because i am very happy with how this ride is turning out. I am doing this funky custom launched coaster. It doesn't have any real sources of inspiration or ride manufacturers, which is leaving me to be as creative as possible. In a way, it will be a Powder Keg with inversions and low to the ground turns. The launch is a simple rubber band slingshot, because that's really all i know how to do Anyways, enough with the rambling. Here are some photos of the ride.

*Quick note, I will be adding more bracing, and spine work to the ride as i go, so if i decide i need to change something big, i won't have a whole mess of stuff to redo. So, in the next update, this area will more than likely be finalized.*
Also, i am known to cancel my rides a lot, i am making this a smaller project so it is easier for me to finish. I also have lots of time on my hands to work, so progress will be a lot faster than my other projects. Any feedback would be welcome, as i want this ride to be my best! Thanks!
