[quote name='Old_Hag']Looking epic so far, but then again what else could we expect?[/QUOTE]
Expect something crappy, then I can always live up to the expectations
[quote name='TheSUCKCrew']A "Vekoma Boomerang" is a pleonasm...[/QUOTE]
Yes it is. But I am always searching for things, but do not know the specific name, so I'm helping others search
(yes that is my excuse)
[quote name='Turtle Man 24']LOL^^ True Nick.
This is looking awesome so far. I really like the supports how they look like from the side and front. Keep up the awesome work![/QUOTE]
Thanks
The supports look very grey in the pic, though they are mostly yellow rods. But I tried to mimic the real life structure as best as I could.
[quote name='SuperTkdkid']Whoo!!!! New Coaster from Ickus!!!! That amusement park idea sounds awesome![/QUOTE]
So far it sounds good, but I just hope it turns out well
[quote name='Maxlaam']Looking really good so far. Love the idea of having smaller rides that are "door proof"
[/QUOTE]
Door proof means I can storage things for now and use later, and also I travel some, so having a display I can carry off with me, is something I have been wanting since I built BR. Now I am actually trying to put that into practice.
[quote name='Cowman']How do you get your knex so colorful? Do you buy the knex of that color or do you dye your knex?
Anyways, great coaster love the colors!
[/QUOTE]
When I first started on the site, I thought about dying or painting. After experimenting I decided it would not hold up as I wanted.
I only Paint my Trains. Otherwise everything is original K'nex colours and I spend a lot a lot a lot of time searching for correctly coloured K'nex® and I pick up a ton of random things along the way, and other parts I will save for later builds.
[quote name='dragon k´nex']amazing!
ickus + knex = epic creations!
also do you'll use 6 or 7 car train?[/QUOTE]
Thank you very much.
I have not decided. anywhere from 3-6 cars probably. I will just test and see. I may not be able to use too long of a train because of how I plan to use my lift, but I will find out soon enough I guess.
[quote name='tornado96']OMG SO AWESOME! THe supports looks absolutely brilliant! You are definitely one of the best builders on the site![/QUOTE]
THank you very much. I truly appreciate the compliment, but there are definitely better buildings on the site. Also, I draw a tremendous amount of inspiration from this site.
[quote name='LaMbChOpZ']**Throws out idea of building a boomerang coaster next**
Looks amazing Ickus, I just really want to know where you got that bright yellow track!
Can't wait to see what you build next, although I'm a bit afraid it will be amazing and will deter me of building a coaster similar to it, knowing I won't be able to match the skill, finesse, and beauty of it.[/QUOTE]
Your Orange Rush, gave me a ton of inspiration and a lot of ideas. One or two may show up in this build, and I spoke to you about the other build already.
[quote name='RollerKid500']I love it! It looks very nice and the name is very creative![/QUOTE]
I typed boomerang at thesaurus.com
[quote name='gromit']Once again, I am speechless with your outstanding work! Keep it up! PS, If you do finish the realistic Amusement Park, please put it on the site!:tmbs;)[/QUOTE]
Thanks and probably will in some extent, no worries.
[quote name='Josh monster']This is amazing and supports look great. Can't wait to see how you are going to get it to continuously run![/QUOTE]
It is really a very simple plan I have. Once I have tested things I will post. Still need to get the second lift to run, and I also need to put chain guide on top of both chains to hold them thru the pull out.
Thank you everyone for the replies!!
More to come when I build more
