I'm pretty sure there is already a topic like this but I just want to know your opinion what is better for me:
(Yes I am new to this forum, I come from the netherlands so don't expect the best english from me :-P)

Every now and then I take the roller coaster again out of the box after putting it on some sort of dutch ebay.
(I currently have the 1x Screamin serpent)
>---<
But the problem is (You probably all know this) 1 screamin serpent is way to less to built a nice rollercoaster, So I thought out some possibilities:

-Buy some Micro rollercoaster sets (They are cheap but I hate the micro K'NEX pieces :-P)

-Buy another screamin serpent (It's way bigger and cost some more but looks (in my opinion) more realistic and I can do more mechanical stuff in it
because it is smaller)
>---<

I always had the problem I have to less track and that's also the reason why the roller coaster every time gets back in his box.

What do you think I can buy better?

I hope you can help my ;-)

Goeiemiddag!

I'd suggest to get more Screamin' Serpent sets. Other classic K'NEX sets are a great way to expend your collection as well. However, start with more Screamin' Serpent sets. :)

Do you have any arguments for that?. Just want to know why screamin' serpent is better.

It isn't necessarily better, but you said that you do not like micro pieces. I think that liking to work with micro pieces is a requirement to work with micro coasters. One or two more Screamin' Serpents should give you enough pieces to build something truly bigger.

I always find it hard on marktplaats to find out if a advertisment is dependable ... How do you guys find that out or is it just a pure guess??


EDIT:

Am i right that Bballer347 used normal knex sized K'NEX parts in this roller coaster? http://www.youtube.c...h?v=oLFxQc5Hg5k
