that looks so much better, I think you can continue on the twist

[WardCoastez]

yeah it looks really good now. move on!

[The Stig]

The upcoming turn should be closer to the loop. Where the supports are now is about where the track should be after the next helix. If that makes sense.
Everything else looks great.
That is a big ass TV.

Because of Time constraints, I think it doesn't have to be 100% accurate, as long as all the elements look fine and are placed correctly.

^ I agree with Black Kitty.

Looks nice Frags! Too bad you had to cancel the launcher... But this looks nice, there's a kinda weird spot at the top, but I don't think it'll matter speed-wise.

Sorry for no update, I've actually got pretty far and I'm done with the corkscrew. Once I'm done I will post pictures but I dont have time to wait for comments and stuff, sorry. I need to get it done in time and can afford for there to be a few bumps and stuff.

[RollerManiac]

^Wow, that is pretty far! Try to update as soon as possible, because I really want to see some photos of it!

You guys?? It's just me haha. I'm the only one building

Ok I have a problem now. Haven't worked on this since friday so im still at the turn after to corkscrew, went to the mall last night and hung out with my friend friday. But I lost so much speed that after the corkscrew I can't get the track any higher than a granite. So since im out of time, and speed, I have to end the layout right here

[alpal]

Noooo!!!! show us some pictures, we could help you finish it!

[BubbleMan 32714]

^ Please do what he said so we can all help you out.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I think Fraggie knows what he's talking about when he says he can't finish the layout. I'm still disappointed though

[Fraggie]

Well, even though I was not able to get the whole layout complete, it was a huge success in school!! My teacher loved it! And so did all my class mates. The guys thought it was really cool and the girls thought I was cute because I still play with little toys like this when I'm 17 haha (keep playing with k'nex, girls like it) Pretty sure I got an A+. I will put some pictures up tomorrow hopefully, my friend took some with his camara at school so they will look pretty good. It actually worked better at y school than my house, but I still would not of had enought speed to complete the layout.

[MichaelG]

Awesome dude, great job!

[Knexrule11]

Thats good! And your the first high schooler I've every heard say that it's good for people at school to know you build with Knex. Sad to hear about the speed though:(

[alpal]

^Dude, I put updates of my coasters on facebook, it helps me get good deals on pieces, plus, everyone loves it. I have been publicizing my coaster Wolverine Wildcat, which will be at my school's talent show. Tell your friends. seriously. they will think it is really cool.

Edit: oh yeah, and as fraggie says, girls like it too.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

The guys thought it was really cool and the girls thought I was cute because I still play with little toys like this when I'm 17 haha (keep playing with k'nex, girls like it)

Are you sure? I think most of my female friends will think I'm nerdy if I show them

Awesome coaster by the way! I still remember your first few coasters and you've improved so much since then. I hope you keep building more coasters!
