Skill over pieces.
EDIT: That means Diamondback over Sawdust.

What I was saying is I prefer a coaster with a lot of details (station, theming, realistic supports) than a huge coaster with no details. And I understand that DBack have its reasons.

Diamondback. When building big, you need a LOT more skill to keep your shaping smooth and nice. Plus DB was really fun to see built, as the real DB was really popular at the time. Ben and Kevin did a really good job on DB. Both coasters are special in there own ways, but for me DB was better overall.

Sawdust, it's just very good and altough DB was also very good, and it had it reasons for not having unfinished lifts etcetera, I still like the totally themed full working coaster more than a huge one, how great shaped it might be. In addition, I luv woodie.

Another piece for my collection

#2 vs #2?
I decided, and in the end it was down to which one I liked more, and is more thought-provoking and inspiring than the other. Sorry Diamondback, but it's down to Sawdust here.

DBack is making me angry with it's constant winning! And yes, I do vote for it.

I'm still astonished by how Diamondback kept it's speed, and it's massive size is pretty impressive. Not to mention it's at my home park, I went with it.

DBack is still probably the most impressive coaster ever done with K'nex, at least in terms of scale, shaping, and speed preservation. I really don't think I could vote against it at this point.

Diamondback amazed me with its size and is truly a coaster I'll never forget.

Sawdust shouldn't have made it past the last round, it slaughtered a model that is an actual true classic.

Is it smooth and long?
Posted 29 March 2012 - 07:06 PM
While Diamondback didn't revolutionize K'nex coasters like Oasis or Speed o' Fear, it did bring about some improvements to traditional supporting techniques. Sawdust was just a cleaner version of Oasis.

I loved how diamondback was so huge and went over the hill at just the right speed, it was very realistic, if only there was a great station and a working brake and chain lift.

Diamondback is still the single most impressive model in my eyes, Sawdust doesn't even come close. As Gump said, skill over pieces.

Woodies are the easiest coasters to build.

I am going with Diamondback but I don't think Sawdust is not rightfully here. Sawdust was a fantastic model and although woodies are the easiest to build and RCK had a ton of pieces, it still takes a shit ton of time and effort. Not to mention the layout which was pretty impressive as well.

Both were great, Diamondback is just a little more impressive.
