I really like your breaks and like you said no one who is not obsessed with coasters would ever know the difference. So personally I wouldn't spend more money on the breaks. Now if it was for like summer heat of something I probably would have more realistic breaks.
Hey Josh do you think you could tell me when that variety show thing I would love to see this in person if I could.

Thanks. I will do that.

I'm thinking about the magnetic brakes and think it might be impressive if I can get the coaster to stop without it touching anything, I think the people at my school would love it.
It might be worth investing time and money into.

He he he. I say you should give it a shot because if it does, it will look and be realistic and just awesome.


^Well the magnets I was telling him about are N40 Neodymium Magnets, 25 for 9.99 free shipping, and they work great. I'm using them for my Summer Heat coaster, but you can still use them for any coaster if you're willing to spend the money now and recieve the benefits from then on.

FINALLY! An awesome tubed recreation. It's the first one i've seen. The magnetic brakes will be amazing. Even if they touch.

I think it is sometime in January (I have way too much time to finish this roller coaster so I should be able to perfect it) I will let you know the date when I find out.

Thanks for your help, you won me over I'm going to try the magnetic brakes your way but it might be a while.

Microscopic-tiny update! I fixed the pullout and have nothing to do right now so I decided to update. The pictures of the pullout are hard to get because of the railing so it is hard to see but it looks better.

Hey Josh, if you click Multi " for all of the posts you want to quote, when you click reply, they will be quoted in your posts.

Update! I made the heartline roll and I think it looks good, I used Alpal's heartline tutorial to make it so it should be heartlined correctly. I had to place one extra support for stability but other than that it has 100% accurate supports. I am planning on adding more track connectors to the pullout but I am low on them because of Alpal's roller coaster. Please tell me if I need to change anything.

Nice!!!!!!

[Josh Monster]

Nice!!!!!!

Thank you.

If you didn't notice, in the third picture the roll has a bump in it so I fixed it.

[timtimlaz]

this looks awesome man. The best knex tube supported coaster ever!

[Josh Monster]

I will be using 40 N40 magnets to stop the train.

Test video! The entire coaster shakes terribly so I am going to strengthen everything, mainly the brake section which you will see shakes the worst.

Test

I had my brother stop the coaster because I didn't feel like adjusted my brakes (laziness strikes again).

[Old_Hag]

Holy crap, that looks better than TBM's recre. Just strengthen the brake run!

[SamIsSoAwsome]

This is just awesome. There is a little bump in the third picture but this thing is so awesome.

[Josh Monster]

I fixed the bump in the roll.

I think there might still be something wrong with the shaping of the roll, it doesn't quite look right.
Can anyone tell me if it looks right? Thanks!

[Old_Hag]

You might want to pull the middle of the roll out a bit more (to the left if you were looking at it straight on)

[Maxwell58]

Heartlining. It needs a lot more heartlining that it has now. Also it looks a little bumpy. Nice brakes btw.
