I use granites/metallic connectors for Thunder and yellows/classic-coloured pieces for Lightning. Furthermore, Thunder will get a black train and Lightning an orange train.

O_O This is gonna be a big one! I really hope you'll be able to pull this one off. I can already tell this is gonna be another step higher in the history of K'nex coasters.

Let's do it. Please do. I'm sure you can make this awesome if it's completed. That lift hill looks a pretty good start.

WHOOO! I remember every second of dueling on separate trains on this coaster, so it's an awesome layout. I think you will easily be able to pull this off at this scale.

I'm all for it! Lightning Racer is one of my favorite woodies. It'll be a good challenge to make them finish close to the same time. Good luck!

You're my man, bro.
I hope that you can pull this off! It's a long layout?
What inspired you to make this? Was it your (very lucky) trip to Hershey with Jumpge?

Compared to the real thing, that looks perfectly well!
EDIT: I just realized it might be a good idea to 'draw' the layout on the floor. Just take a look at google maps for a top view. If you draw it on the floor, it will give you a very good idea where which piece of track has to go to!
