Here is a picture of the tower to the ToT

[coasterman1221]

there is no tot at sfmm

[coastercrazy10]

well theres some vertical drop thing...oh yeah....its

called freefall....*smacks head on hand*! Its called freefall everybody..NOT

ToT!

Im going to get some work done today..maybe get the

straightaway done and the little piece that lets the car go over it but drops down after

the car goes past it. If that made no sense then you'll see when I'm done.

I also have a flawless and complicated idea for the transfer track on top of the

tower! If anybody has ideas for this I'll change my plans to accomidate

your ideas if I think they are good!

An Intamin first gen. freefall. Looks cool though

[coastercrazy10]

thanks jumpboyb...This will be as close to the real

thing as possible. My transfer track is going to have to be remote controlled because I

need to do it with precision only achieved by doing it manually.

[coasterman1221]

awesome! it seems like everyone is really making

good models nowadays.

[coastercrazy10]

Thanks coasterman1221.

I have been

working and I have the drop done! I'll probably make the drop gradual

instead of like it is now...It kinda flies off. If anybody has ideas for this, fire

away!!

crazy

[coasterman1221]

that looks pretty gradual to me

[coastercrazy10]

well...gravity is working against it...and once it hits

the part with the flexi rod...it leaps off of the drop...I cant have that, now can I? Im

going to go work on it some more...This will be a little more difficult than I

thought...

[coastercrazy10]

sry about the double post but I've revised the

drop so that it DOES WORK! I REPEAT...DOES WORK! Here's

a picture

[Antinos]

your trying to make the demon drop at CP right?

[coastercrazy10]

no the freefall ride at SFMM...but the drop and hill

has to be different because...its knex and I cant make a PERFECT and working

model...it would be a disaster

crazy

[Antinos]

superman the escape i guess.

[coastercrazy10]

its called "freefall" sorry for the

misunderstanding!

crazy

[jmrtc89]

Me an coastergeekrtc might make an actual working

model of the ride this summer.

[Lanceshield]

Actually someone made a working first generation

freefal ride, I think that's what this is, and it worked the same way as the real

ones!

[PlatinumCoasters]

I made a coaster with a similar design, but I will not

state any other details at the moment :-D

[coastercrazy10]

Update! I have the transfer track moving at the

top of the lift with the motor. Progress is coming right along. This project should be

done within a week!

[killer kitty]

"first" knex coaster.....i did it with my co2 powerd superman recreation

[PlatinumCoasters]
