Also try if the trains go faster without those custom cars. It can help a lot. Oh yeah, i spotted a bump on the element before the helix. Look at the one to last picture

Did you lube the cars? Looks nice otherwise

The coaster looks great!!

But before you get finished with things, I would suggest taking the time and working on your train cars to make sure they can clear the course. No point in having an awesome layout that nothing can run on. (unless you are after having a static display).

As I have found out on both of my coasters, sometimes the height you think things should be at is not the height in which your K"nex® train cars will clear, and you have to adjust the track work to make things work.

Keep up the good work!

I've weighted my cars and it makes the first half of the sea-serpent roll. So if I lube my cars and pledge the track i think it will make it.
I've also build the heartline-roll and a brake-run. Now I've to build a turn; the station and another turn. I hope I've enough parts for it, because there isn't much left.









What do you think of the name: The golden bird?

The coaster looks so great! The name is also perfect. Lol, if we said no then what would you do to the cars? Lol.

LOL, then I suggested the name: The golden bullet.

After one day building the roller coaster is finally ready. I just need to clean the cars and pledge the track.

I LOVE your station! A bit short, but cool! Great job on this!
