Joker's Jinx will be an accurate and automated (by the NXT) recreation of the ride at Six Flags America. So far the c-roll has just the general form of with the track will be looking like, but it will be changed to look smoother and overall more clean looking. The launch so far has a prototype resetting system on it and will be worked on alter in the future. Kudos to steel and maarten12 for the advice on the launch

don't know the RL one but this looks great so far.

Excellent choice, Jumpge. I've always wanted to see someone build spaghetti-bowl.
I'll definitely be watching this.

When you finish this and make a final video and stuff, you should take paper, build a building around the entire thing and call it Flight of Fear for another completed ride.
The shaping looks really good. Nice Job! You should by more trains so you can run 2 to 3 trains on the course at once.

Looks excellent right now. Track looks very smooth.

I love that you have made this automated (can't wait to see it operating ).

Hope you can get your hands in to work on the track inside the tangle of track that will be created.

Looks very good, I can not wait to see the finished cobra roll.

For some reason I always get Joker's jinx confused with riddler's revenge...
For a moment i thought you were trying the impossible...

Looks great so far! I've always wondered what this whole ride looked like. i can ever figure out where the track goes... :confused:

Good luck on this one! It should be fun!

SSCoasters K'nex Gallery - Jokers Jinx!

^I was going to say that. CC10 already recreated this twice, but I would like to see a better one!

It's going to be hard to get everything spot on, but I know that you can do it.

I love your style and your cobra roll. It's so beautiful/

[JPCoaster]

Fix the sharp spots in the pullout and it will be good. Awesome work and the launch looks very good!

[Jumpge]

Thanks for all of the comments guys! I will try to answer some of the questions, as well as release some information about the ride.

1. In the end put paper around the whole structure and call it Flight of Fear?
-I doubt I will, although I might try it out just to see what the look would be like. I really love the idea of that though!

2. Try to run 2 or 3 trains on the track at once?
-I thought of this before, but I think there would be some problems in the automation, and also considering how long it takes the launch to reset, that won't be happening.

3. Problems in the pullout?
-One I saw JP's post, I headed over to the coaster and fixed the sharp spots, as well as some of the spots in the c-roll I saw.


I started the resetting launch's automation and developed good release mechanism. Construction of the second half of the c-roll will take place throughout the end of this week.

[SuperTKDKid]

How long will your train be?

[~stεεlspectrum~]

How's that launch working out for you? I'm now using a different design than the one I originally showed you, so I hope you can get this to work!

[Jumpge]

^Its a four car train

I finally got a lot of time to build, and I finished the c-roll and started making the reset/release mechanism, that so far works really well.

Looks beautiful. Honestly, one of the better c-rolls I have seen on here.


but looking at the picture of JJ's C-roll, I think you need to make the transition lower, and to have a little less banking in the bottom of the transition.

Agreed with ickus LOVE THE C ROLL THO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ForgotToGrowUp]

This is looking great. Is there going to be enough room for box supports for all of that pile of spaghetti you are building? That ride is insane! Took me minutes to find the C roll in all that mess.

I love that launch design. Is it Steel's design or something new? If it has been done before what coaster originally used it? I'd love to see more pictures of it.

[Helmut]

Looks great, just fix the things Ickus305 mentioned.

[MichaelG]

That C-roll looks amazing. I love the launch design,could you maybe try to explain it and show more pictures?

[RollerManiac]

Looks beautiful. Honestly, it's the best c-roll I have seen on here.

It's called the beautiful trackwork of Jumpge.

BTW, it has been fixed for you.
