Hello guys just thought I would share a image of what I have designed. I wish CD would have more sets available but apparently they are working on a new design for the scorpion set. I am currently working on knex coasters. Anyone have good recommendations on some good knex sets? I currently have the rippin rocket roller coaster and looking for some good expansions.

Here is a image of my coaster not the greatest design but was my first attempt. I will post a video as soon as I figure out youtube. Fairly new to this stuff bare with me lol )....

Having not worked with any CD whatsoever, I like it, even if some of the elements look a bit misshapen. However I do think that the second lift is a bit odd and it looked like you had enough speed to finish the layout.

Now k'nex, I do work with . Your going to definitely need at least one screamin serpent, It has a good train as apposed to the crappy rippin rocket car. There is also the Shark Run and Storm Mountain sets which are a bit smaller and seem to be more rare. I have seven or eight screamin serpents and two or three rippen rockets. I don't have any of the other two sets. But I also have a ton of extra knex for supports. Start small and build up over time, don't try to purchase a lot right away, just a tip

Hope this Helps,

I did just not enough room and base plates. Couldnt expand out because of the grey plates on the bottom. Have to buy more but they are hard to come by....

use ebay, however it may take a few weeks to win a bid and it depends how much your willing to pay.

I do use ebay just not much for sale besides comet set. Not compatable. They stoped making this set because a new scorpion design is on the way... Suppose to be much better. I just have to wait. Price isnt a issue its finding it lol

Thank you for the suggestion on knex I think I will go and see if I can purchase one of the screaming coasters from knex. Should I just start out with one or is it ideal to start with a little more just dont go over board?

One is good to start but if you get two it wont hurt you
