When you take it down, you should make a time-lapse of it. That would take forever to edit, and upload, but it would be amazing to see! I thought the video was a little short, even though it was like five minutes. Best K'nex coaster you've made... so far. ;)

I'm not done building yet.

Yes, I noticed some distortion in some of the close ups but didn't feel the need to be critical of a great video. (Knew there was no way Gumps station would have a sagging platform ;-) )

^ Time lapse of the take down could be played in reverse to simulate a construction


(edit)
Gump - Now that all you have to do is bask in the glory.... could you post some pics showing the motor arrangment of the main lift? That is a long lift and long trains. How many motors? How much weight in the cars? Thanks.

Comet Recreation still underway.

Proof you never grow up if you keep playing with toys!

While this is quite an amazing ride, I still have to give the nod to Diamondback for best K'nex coaster ever. The fact that they (PKI and CC10) nailed the scale perfectly is just amazing, that and I guess I just have a soft spot for box supports.

Regardless, this is one amazing coaster and it's great to see it up and running.

Oh man, that discussion between Balrog and Diamondback... And it'll come back every year, around March. ;)

This is sick. Max did a great job on the video. Amazing coaster Jochem! :D

Gump, you've placed yourself in a league of your own... This is an incredible coaster! The flow of the elements is perfect and the station is brilliant!

Now who's gonna be the first to make a coaster better than this? It'll take you while... :)

Gump and I are working on one of the most epic K'NEX coaster videos as we speak. Care for a teaser? ;)

But I already got to see a test-run video. How can anything be more amazing than seeing it run for the first time? Well, I have faith Max . And you can't fool me about how awesome this is when it runs (thanks Gump, hahaha :P)

Considering the amount of time spent on each scene, audio, effects etc. It'll take a good while to properly render the video.

Simply.... amazing! I love the way it looks and everything was made perfectly! The day it gets taken down will be a sad day I bet.
Wow... I think five minutes has never went by faster. ^_^
You could make an entire movie out of that coaster.
