The Depths is a model coaster unlike any other ever built. This coaster uses buildings from it's surrounding as supports. Starting of on a bridge over the main gate, the coaster lift to the top of a 90 degree chain lift. First time on an inverted coaster. As the train crest the top it goes into an inverted drop about an estimate 200' in real life (Also in real life it would be 235' tall at its maximum and 75 MPH). Then it goes into a corkscrew in the middle of another coasters massive loop. The other coasters has 11 fly throughs that the Depths almost hits too. Next to a tower into the brakes and transfer track. 90 dgrees left and it pass on of my night time shows and heads back into the bridge.

Challenges:
The Bridge was hard to do because the ride is K'nex and the bridge is Fisher Price. I usally glue stuff like this down, but it was in a bad position to glue. Also the track was bankd coming in and wouldn't clear it.
The walls of the room were right next to the bridge and keep hitting it.
The vertical lift was the most challenging. It probably took me a total of 2-3 hour to finish the chain lift. This was hard to do because the chain would get caught in the track. Ended up using 3 chain cogs. Also the lift had to have slack or it would get stuck and a peice of the tower.
