Hahaha, I did base the lift off of that, but I'm not sure which way I'll go. Set myself up incase I'm going on the path of a recreation.Wow, that just screams SKYRUSH, when I see the yellow supports, where do you plan the chain to go?
Hahaha, maybe. Still not sure which direction I'm going. Indeed it is.^lol your right.I know this is Skyrush. And hes going to try and make this exact right;).Its also youre favorite coaster.
Thanks! It only shaky from laterals as of right now, but because of the support type, lateral supports aren't an option in the lift because of how awkward of lengths the pieces need to be. I don't have a plastic injection molding machine, so those supports won't be happening anytime soon.As sturdy as the supports look, it does look a little shaky, too. Other than that, this looks very interesting!
Thank you. I'm planning on using fishing line to hold the two lifts together like the grey rods right now are doing. It'll be almost invisible and still do the job. I am interested in seeing what will happen with the drop when it comes to supports, but like you said, we'll have to just wait and see.this is looking nice. Though you may have to add some support to prevent sway (but wait until you have the lift and the drop complete, as they may provide enough to keep the sway down.)
Thank you. A very nice thing to hear from you. Different angles are posted below. I finished the lift hill so we can get the full picture.Wow, this is some very nice work already and I'm very impressed with the design you're using for the incline of the lift. May we be able to see a few different views of that?
Thanks!Wow that is beautiful!
Thank you! Not sure which direction I'll go yet. With twists, maybe 1, if any. I bet your recreation has helped you figure that outThat looks amazing...So, are you gonna build a recre or just a similar layout?
If you go custom, don't put in too many twisties. 2 or 3 in a row is a death sentence for your speed.
Thank you. I'm excited to see it too, but it'll be a while until we see the full coaster put together.Those supports are beautiful! Just, stunning. That is just incredible. I can't wait to see the rest of the coaster.
I have looked into that and I have a few ideas for how to make K'Nex Square supports, but it's not the best choice (they're very weak and prone to falling apart).It would be cool and more realistic to use square supports the whole way instead of tubes. Those supports are so amazing.

Hahaha, indeed. Not sure about elementa just yet (have barely enough space for the lift), but once we get farther into the year, I'll be buildind more elments starting in Sept after school starts. Thabks!This is going to be so boss. Now show us some built elements!
The rods sticking out if the lift? So far with spacing tests, everything's been good so far.It looks like the train may scrub on you lift guides, how fast is this thing gonna go?
Thank you!This is going to be a BEAST! Very nice!
Hahahaha, I'd be humble and disagree, but I'm kind of agreeing with you.That's easily the coolest looking lift I have seen on this site.

Something that I just realized, your pulley gears at the bottom, will fall over because there isn't anything keeping them upright. The lift looks amazing so far, this will be a great coaster.
