That was pretty sick!

One thing I was super surprised about was how well the supports on the track held up! There was no bowing in the supports at all throughout the first half of the ride, and little in the second part! Very nice job!

Epic. Absolutely stunning to watch (and ride).

Just when you think K'NEX coasters can't get any better, Gump comes along and destroys that thought.

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.

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.

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!

[DDRman732865]

Definitely one of the best, if not the best, k'nex coasters in the history of life.

[timtimlaz]

Um you never said thanks to sscoasters. Ok I see how it is. Haha jk great video and great coaster! Keep up the great work!

[tornado96]

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...

[Jogumpie]

Another video you just NEED to watch at 720p, full-screen, with your speakers at their maximum!

Let me bump up this thread to make you watch the video.

Balrog will be deconstructed on November 3rd, so just one more month till it's end of story for this roller coaster.

Yeah but it's worth it at least.
