CANCELLED because I am going on vacation and needed to pack & sort all my K'nex. Sorry.

Hey guys! I am working on a recreation of Kingda Ka. I know there are many recreations of it, but I try to focus on perfect tubes and the same supports as in the real Kingda Ka. I think it's going well. Enjoy.



Comment and gimme tips!

That pull in is way to small.

[lazor 22]

Really bumpy, I would only use one flexi rod.

[RCExtreme]

Ouch... That would hurt. The pullin needs to be about 5 times bigger than it is.

I will fix that pulley... thanks.

Any good reactions?

[Dragon]

the supports are good but the track....

[Helmut]

Beside the track which has to be fixed, I also noticed the left tube bending at the bottom. Good luck with fixing!

Those supports look incredibly good! However I'd suggest using BBaller track spine for this.

Thanks! Well, I have not enough pieces for BBallers track spine So I will continue with this. This is very strong, tho. Here is my new update:



The pulley is fixed. It's not 3x bigger and I think the shaping is okay. The credits of the cars go to Jespercoasters.

Well, the supports are good, but there is quite a few straight and sharp spots in it, I would suggest, adding the flexies after you have haped it correctly. Other than that it is okay. So just do the thing I said, and it should be shaped alot better!

When you change your track spine, it makes your track bumpy.
Could you use the same track spine for the whole ride?

[LaMbChOpZ]

In the first picture, your tubes are bending which is bad. It's mostly the one farthest on the right, but they all seem to be bending. Also, agreeing with Stig, use the same type of backbone; it's aesthetically pleasing and also is easier for you to create (instead of making 2 different backbones).

Thanks for the tips. But the track itself is not bumpy at all (I think so).
I tested it and the supports are not shaking a centimeter! .

From Sunday till Wednesday I will be not working on this, because I'm going on vacation. Bye!

[SuperTKDKid]

Yeah, its way too bumpy.

[jespercoasters]

Wow i love those cars man hwo came up with that idear .
