This coaster is going to be beyond huge!! And they are giving you a ton of space to work in. The area you have to build 1 coaster in is more then the entire room that I am using to build the amusement park in.

Sorry to hear about the set backs in your plans though it sounds as if you have you a good "plan B" ready for action. Good Luck with things and I can not wait to see things unfold.

I hope you can make a really nice looper out of this, and i'm sure that it is going to be huge too!

I have been working on the megalooper's first inversion all weekend so far. It's a loop, which I based on Time Machine's first loop. I still want to do some extra work on the backbone of the top half of the loop. I will connect the first drop, which I had already built, tomorrow. More pictures then.

So, here are the first publicly published construction pictures:

amazing gump, this one is HUGE but is there any shakes in the loop? i see you only support the high area,and not the begining of it.

To tell you the truth, I don't really like the tube supports. I think you should just go box. As for the loop, HOLY F***ING HELL! My heart stopped when I saw this shit. I am so excited.

It must be awesome to see that train going through that loop! I really can't wait to see the lift connected to the lift. :)

Have been looking through this 10 times now, and I think it is worth a second comment.
The more I look at it, the better the shaping becomes.
It's so freaking huge, you are kind of a god...

That is nothing less than I expected from you Jochem ;)! I guess this is going to be the best looper ever built with K'nex.
