This coaster gave me a huge erection.


That's still a tiny one.

[quote name='sathothy']Wow that gos fast. it is looking awesome[/QUOTE]

Thanks

[quote name='kid26120']i love the pisctures, go on ![/QUOTE]

We did, only our X-ties green are all in the coaster. We are negotiating about 2 other ss sets with someone yet.

[quote name='pkiknex25']Actually, by guessing the height of the fourth hill and how big the next turn will also be, they probably will need to launch it as fast as they are now. You can even tell the speed loss between the second and third hill is pretty significant.
Track work looks great and it's nice to see how easy it all fits together.[/QUOTE]

Yes we expect that launch is needed.

[quote name='Helmut']I like the 'Pam!!!' at the end of the video. Who was it, Tom or Koen?

Looks amazing![/QUOTE]

It was a BAM, and it was Tom. I were the ''kut'' in the first failing video. Thanks for saying it's amazing

[quote name='gromit']There is only one word to say, Amazing!;):eek:[/QUOTE]

Thx!

[quote name='xx-cyp-62-xx']wow your coaster is amazing very good speed[/QUOTE]

Thanks!

[quote name='RCT2123']This thing is a beast. The shaping looks spot on.[/QUOTE]

Indeed, thanks.

[quote name='maarten12']You're doing a really good job on this beast :). I cannot wait for the full circuit![/QUOTE]

We build as fast as we can, we want to have it finished in the holiday. However, we probably ain't gonna make it.

[quote name='RideOnKI']This is epic, now we wait for the full circiut test.[/QUOTE]

Yep!

[quote name='Jumpge']Wow, if this is just a glimpse at a full setup, I can't wait for that day. :)[/QUOTE]

Thanks!

[quote name='Sniggeh']Looks absolutely incredible. It seems that you have more than enough speed to finish the layout. Can't wait to see the size of the entire coaster![/QUOTE]

We hope our speed is just fine!

[quote name='Kevkillerke']BAM, an amazing coaster entered[/QUOTE]

Thanks. Don't quote us with the BAM :D

[quote name='mynci321']This is looking really nice so far, I wish you luck on completing the rest![/QUOTE]

Thanks

[quote name='Maxwell58']Amazing speed. This is flawless. Just cant take it anymore. It's too epic.[/QUOTE]

Thanks!

[quote name='Jogumpie']I'm a fan. :) I'm glad that the setup succeeded.[/QUOTE]

Thank you, sir.

[quote name='Dabubs']*drools* This is too good to be called amazing.....

Thanks, Suck. Please make a seperate threat for your erection picture, it would kind of spoil our FR threat ;)

You are indeed of topic. Thanks for the comments, but going off-topic is no real problem.

Now the update: We built a small part, because we ran out of pieces. No stories, just pictures:

Now you can clearly see how big this beast actually is :D

Which turn is this? The one between the second and third hill?

Thanks. We moved on.

It is huge! It is the turn between the third and the fourth hill. It's now done.

We were pretty disappointed about getting only 2 comments, we would like some more so we can improve our coaster to the maximum, even if the update is not that big. Well, this new update is, and for you we included our last update as well so you can comment on that as well without needing to scroll up. There has been some change in size due to the cross-point, but now it still fits the scale. See and enjoy!
[EDIT] PLEASE READ!
We wanted to let you guys know which part of the coaster we are making now. When you looked at the last setup update, you could see a half finished hill. The turn after that hill is shown in this update, it is the really big turn that eventually goes through the structure.
On this update you also see the smaller half finished hill, after that this part will come:

(the part with the three last hills and the brakerun)
So basically, we're almost finished with the whole coaster because we only have to make 3 more hills untill the final brakerun!

With coasters like this (multiple parts later connected in a large setup) it is important you show which part is which. Your previous update was rather vague to me and I can imagine that vagueness caused people not to comment.
This update is more clear, although you should make sure your pictures are focussed correctly. The coaster, it is looking great!

Can you give us an overview? And with that I mean an aerial picture of the ride real with parts that you already built marked.

I never experienced much vagueness, because I once had the idea of recreating this beauty (But it became Beast of Speed)
I real, this coaster is the smoothest coaster ever made, and you guys do make the Knex replica really smooth as well :)

Your to the end, so make the three hills now! I am curious to see how much speed you'll have at the end of this to have to add a brake run or not, but either way it will be great. You just keep impressing me more and more as each day goes by, so please continue to do so!

I really hope it doesn't need to fly like a banshee out of hell in the first part, only to have it crawl through the last bit...

I just noticed some of the tubes bending. It are the red tubes, the ones of the third hill I guess. Not that it is a big problem, but please keep this in mind.
Hmm, some good weather today! :D

Hard to imagine someones jaw lying somewhere swimming between his feet. Would be funny however.

That's my concern too. It would be so damn sad if that happened. But hey, it still is big :).

With the final set-up we will erase last big bumps and try to straighten all of the tubes.

[quote name='kpmcman']so my question is how do you know the train is gonna make it through the track? That would suck if you add the track and it valleys...just sayin...[/QUOTE]

I won't, our launch is extremely strong and we have a lot of rubber bands so we can launch it as fast as we want.


UPDATE: Not so big, but the coaster is almost finished. Well, here it is.
