Solid. I hope this will have an insane interlocking section.

[TheRandomGuy]

Considering you have Koloss in storage (correct me if I'm wrong) and a triple dueller in the works, I must have underestimated the amount of pieces you have.

Certainly looks like a wooden coaster to me. What's with the question mark? Exciting, yes. And also intriguing. I get the feeling there is a bigger surprise in store.

[quote name='Britfag']Hot damn!
I like it [/QUOTE]
Thank you! Could did convince you to come over once again?

[quote name='CW5X']So we've had the Ice Age, the stone age (Queens of), the iron age, quickly through the woodie age and into the duelling woodie age. I like this progression.[/QUOTE]
The evolution of K'NEX roller coasters will never stop.

[quote name='roller coaster kid']I like how you did the custom angled lift hill. It gives a much cleaner look.
Looking forward to see more blue rods! [/QUOTE]
No worries, more blue rods will be present!

[quote name='Josh monster'] What!? Do you have a layout for all of them set up? This is going to be crazy, it might even push your piece count to the limit.
As for Koloss, do you mean it is no longer up or it is at a different location?[/QUOTE]
No final layouts just yet, but I do have ideas that I want to pursue. I am nowhere close to my piece limit, not even with Koloss in storage. It is time that is the key element.

[quote name='coasterkiller05']Sure..
Build the Longest Knex Rollercoaster ever Awesome!!...
But....
I'ts not enough let's build a Triple Dualing woodie.
Ijm 100% sure you broke into the Kne'x factory and made a tube to your own home, It seems like ur Kne'x parts are a never ending mountin!
LOVE IT![/QUOTE]
I wish I would have a continuous in-flux of K'NEX parts. Nah, so far I am alright piece-wise.

[quote name='FrIeDeGgS']The custom angled lift looks really nice! Are you going to have a crazy duelling layout with some timed interlocking triple loops like in Roller Coaster Tycoon? Just kidding! [/QUOTE]
Thank you, it does look great, doesn't it? I prefer not to do any loops or inversions on this woodie.

[quote name='ZachCreate']Is this the first triple dueling coaster! If so... Hip Hip, Hooray! First of it's Kind! :D:D[/QUOTE]
[quote name='KBP2000']^no...[/QUOTE]
I don't believe I have seen any other triple K'NEX coaster other than this one. Being first with anything is a rather bold statement to make, as you don't know what has been built before by others around the world. Not everyone is on SSC and K'NEX coaster construction exists already for more than a decade.

[quote name='Jumpge']Solid. I hope this will have an insane interlocking section.[/QUOTE]
I do have a couple of train interaction spots planned. It's all about timing, if I want to get them to work.

Yes, I have Koloss in storage. Tornado, the smaller K'NEX coaster that was featured on TV, is also in storage.

The question mark... it is there to mess with your mind. And yes, I do have a bigger surprise in store, but that will have to wait.



So far you have only seen a lift, which usually isn't that spectacular. The following might be of more excitement to you.


Let's start with disconnecting the bulk of the lift, as it is not really necessary for testing purposes.


From the lift, the three tracks make a 90 degree turn to the left, where the first drop will be present in a future update.


To make up for the larger distances the outer trains have to cover, I have lowered their track heights, increasing the average velocity. Therefore all three trains can go down the first drop simultaneously.


What's with the use of neat blue rods on one side and the more coarse structure on the other side? These sides will be positioned in a corner and therefore cannot be seen. It seemed like a waste to use precious blue rods on those.


All three tracks start their first drop on the same height. I might make the center first drop a little steeper, but only ever so slightly.


Ready to drop down???

[Knexrule11]

Ready to drop down???

No.

Spoiler

Haha, jk. This thing looks so beast! Smart to only use blue rods on visible sides. I can't wait to see this thing in action.

[ForgotToGrowUp]

The custom angled lift looks really nice!

Still too steep for a woodie. Come on Gump make that lift longer! You have the pieces.

[Muzz135]

Yup! ^ is right and plus, you could build a life size knex house and still not make a dent in your parts!

[Gvus]

YES IM READY TO DROP DOWN!!! How many peices do you have? This is crazy, Is the god of tubes trying to become the god of woodies?!?!

[Jogumpie]

No.

It was a smart choice indeed, but from now on both sides will be visible and the different tracks will go in different directions, using many more blue rods.

Still too steep for a woodie. Come on Gump make that lift longer! You have the pieces.

Hehe, sure Jeff.

Yup! ^ is right and plus, you could build a life size knex house and still not make a dent in your parts!

Easily.

YES IM READY TO DROP DOWN!!! How many peices do you have? This is crazy, Is the god of tubes trying to become the god of woodies?!?!

Around 380,000.




Two tracks will drop down to the left, crossing over in the meantime. One track will drop down to the right.


This is the crossing over of the outer tracks.


Building goes ever so slowly.

[-=TK=-]

Maybe the building goes "ever so slowly" but you're creating another crazy coaster! Looks very good for what I can see so far, can't wait to see the finished drops

-=Tk=-

[ZachCreate]

Wow! So it isn't cancelled! Yay! This looking awesome and I don't have anything bad to say about it!

[Jogumpie]

This weekend I was able to work on the triple wooden coaster again. One of the first drops is pretty much finished and I did some work on the center track that will turn right during the first drop. As you can see, the headchoppers have already been taken care of.

[ZachCreate]

Sweet! You're back with this coaster! Give us more pictures! Also, what color is each track going to be?

Edited by ZachCreate, 11 November 2013 - 08:38 PM.

[maarten12]

This is already looking astonishing! I can imagine this structure is going to be incredibly impressed when it's finished, just these massive supports with three trains racing through there is going to be amazing !

[Helmut]

I agree with Maarten, this coaster is going to look very impressive when finished.

[CW5X]

So glad I came back on right now to see this. As always it's so impressive to see you build.

[alpal]

Insanity. Where is the coaster going after this?

[-=TK=-]

Can you ever act normal? Every time I think you started a regular sized coaster, something like oh I added another 5 feet, or hmm I added 2 extra lifts+4 feet of heigt... Still awesome as always!

-=tK=-

[Britfag]

I might have to come over.. that looks.. FREAKING AMAZING.

How about I just look after your cans till then?

Kidding.

But it looks awesome!!!

Try to get a quadruple or pentuple crossover

EDIT: Heck, why not a sextuple!? all tracks over the same spot twice!

[DutchKnexBuilder's]

I want a new update on this coaster!!!!! It's Freakin AMAZING
