Hi guys, Robbert here, you don't know who i am but i want to tell it now. I'm the guy who has seen all the coasters of -=TK=- during the construction. I am pretty much invisible i think, because Tom and Koen never saw me, looking at their coaster. So i thought that it would be time to go to Tom's house again to take a look if they had plans to build something new, because it has been a long time since they took Assault down.

When i standed at the dooropening of the construction room i saw them building something, and they were talking. I recorded it and i want to let you guys read what i've heard about their next coaster:

So, what are we going to do next? Well, i think it would be great to build something with a laowes. Loowjpfnpinvpnp jawopfj jowf owfjowafj ojapjz. Jjajofpnoiwne wn pwnfpnwfen we fwnefnnknzh pajfnwe efjowjfonov safojafonw. Yep that is a great idea, lets start building the "fastest" now

So, i could only hear the beginning and the end about the plans for their newest coaster. I waited for a long time and i could shoot a picture, it looks like it is not done by far yet, i even saw more pieces to attach to this strange construction.

I want your oppinion about all this, so we can figure out what it is. Please help me.... I'll check the construction site in a few days again, in the hope to learn more about this coaster.

This is the picture that i've made:


Please help me,

Thanks,

Hehe, another cable launch

[tornado96]

PLeasure to meet you Robbert! Looks like a launch to me!

PLeasure to meet you Robbert! Looks like a launch to me!

No, it's absolutely a loop

[-=TK=-]

Heya, Robbert here,

I walked to the construction site again, and it looks like they want to lenghten the launch, because i heard them talking about it, because they'll need a lot of speed for "The Fastest", so i think that the guesses of a launch is right, and i'm also 100% about the cable that'll launch it. But i still can't figure out what this ride can be....

Can you guys still help me more??

Grtz,

Robbert

[Kevkillerke]

Hey Robbert, did you saw some specific tubes?
Maybe that can help us!


Maybe kdk or tdd?

[Sniggeh]

Formula Rossa?

[jespercoasters]

I really hope its going to be formula rossa. Looks nice right now

Hey Robbert, Tom revealed the secret on TP.nl...

[The Stig]

Oh my God!
Tom & Koen your house is haunted! Get out now!

[-=TK=-]

It's Robbert again,

Last night i went through a lot of rain to see if they had made any progress. I saw that they made the launch longer and they made a lot of pieces of track. I had to run fast because i heard 2 people climbing up the stairs. It were Tom and Koen. I knew i had to listen to catch up some important information, this is what i got:

Koen, what height do you think we should make "The Fastest"?? Well, i think we should make it at a maximum height of 1.3m so that we have a scale of 1:40 compared to the 52m of height in the real coaster. Hmmmm, that sounds like a good idea to me, let's start making some extra parts and a backbone noapvnepanpf track idn the first hill so we can bring a lot of parts to you next week.....

These are the pictures that i've made before they came upstairs:



So, the real height in real life is 52m... Hmmm what could it mean??
Please help me to find more out of this coaster,

Grtz,

Robbert

[jespercoasters]

come on formulla's height is 52 meters.
Formula Rossa hits 60 in 2 seconds at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi

[floris2burn]

I hope you get a good power source to launch this baby.

Not sure if it'll be hydraulics with compressed N2 or something.

[Jumpge]

I was just gonna say Formula Rossa, but you beat me to it Jesper! Seeing that the worlds fastest coaster is about to be made in K'nex amazes me so much. This is another one of the rides that I wanted to make, but you beat me to it. Good luck with sped, because those turns are going to all add up in the end.

[Sniggeh]

Formula Rossa?

I haz gueshed it firzt. i win.

That's awesome that you are going to be recreating this. This will be a challenge.

[Old_Hag]

Yeah, you're gonna have to support those turns really well...don't forget the trims going up the first hill either.


Now that the secret's out, I have a question... is 'Robbert', by any chance, Robb Alvey?

[-=TK=-]

Well, you guys guessed it.

Yes, we're going to recreate Formula Rossa. It is going to be really hard, we don't even know if we are going to get it to work. But we made the full length of the launch. And a lot of parts are ready to be transported to Koen's house. Those pieces are enough for the launch, 9m of trackwork (crosstie-wise) and some supports for the first turn, a big impression of the radius of the first turn. In total we used 2633 pieces, only for like 1/10th of the ride 0.o

These are the parts to be shipped:


Then we still need to transport 1000's of pieces to Koen's house...
So still a lot of work to do!

-=Tk=-

[Old_Hag]

Very nice, it's gonna take up a lot of space though. Hopefully you can get through the layout without any problems.

[Eggo]

Good luck, shouldn't be too hard though, relatively short layout...

[floris2burn]

Sorry to ask, but I always had the impression the launch of Formulla Rossa is slightly uphill.
