Went with Dback.

To vote on this poll, I tried not to look at the size, but to look at creativity, theming and other things you normally take into account when comparing roller coasters. I have to admit that Diamondback was incredibly well done, but Deluge felt more like a completed roller coaster. I think it was so sad Diamondback didn't have a worked out station and brakes area, and it didn't have a working lift. So my vote goes to Deluge .

Deluge inspired me to start building.

[Maxlaam]

and it didn't have a working lift.

It had it's reasons...

I can't imagine a 7 ft. tall lift could ever work for long without something snapping. But seriously, radii turns with spacers...

Yes Gump, I know you're going to prove me wrong.

Bigger is not always the best... Deluge was good, nice layout and really impressed me.

Deluge

Formula rossa also had these huge turns all spaced witch spacers Oh yeah, we also made a launch that launched a train trough turns with a 3.7m+ ratio for a few times

^ Ben and I were the first to use the custom radii turns method. And what does your launch have anything to do with this?

Trust me, we tried everything to get the lift to work, from the chain to the motors. The chain kept snapping under the weight of the train. There was nothing we could do about it.

[Eggo]

I suppose you tried a tension system? Seems like that should have solved the issue.

[pkiknex25]

^ Still snapped... the 6 car train over a pound, which is substantial for Knex.

I'm actually surprised Deluge got so many votes against DB. But hey, congrats to both coasters for making it this far.
