I started yet another coaster. And my question to you is, what could it be?





I'll upload more photos tonight if not tomorrow.

A 90* Knex shape with a 4 car train next to it. I Wn.

Well, my guess is that the hexagon area is a station area of some sort, and that the rest of it on the top of the 3rd picture is a curve leading into something that I can't tell yet.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say an intamin elevator lifted water ride.

Wow! Three coasters at one time, have you gone insane!?!?!?!

Correct.

Your got the Intamin bit right.

Not really, no.

OKAYYYYYYY.... wat



The transfer track's height is perfect.






And a video showing how functional it is:



Gonna go and get working on the first launch!

Ummm, chetah hunt re-cre

"first launch"....hmm...

Edit: ^ I rode it yesterday = epic! And plus it can't because the turn goes the other way after the switch track.

I love how at like 0:31, you're like "Get back to where I told you to go!"

The transfer track looks and functions awesome. The locking mechanism on both sides of the track is very smart and ensures that it will line up very simply.
I'm really excited to see a multi-launch coaster again. Helmer's was impressive and I expect that with your skill its impressiveness will be similar, recreation or not.

I wanted to do CH and then i decided I would do a coaster that would fit in my room.

What'd you think of the other rides? Did you ride Kumba ?

I was like "crap" and then I just pushed it back into place. Haha.

My Launcher wont be as good as Helmut's Timbuktu, but I am hoping for a high speed layout with much airtime. Also, my launches wont be nearly as fancy as his.

Okay, well. Happy New Year! Here's your present.

Who doesn't enjoy a good prelaunch?





This launch has been a pain in the ass. I'll say all the combinations I've tried. Tire drive launch with 2 12 Vs, Tire drive launch with TT motor. Chain Launch with 2 12Vs, Chain Launch with TT motor. Chain Launch with 12V motor with 1 red to blue gear ratio missing,



















The straight part at the end will be the 2nd launch.

Thanks for reading and comment if you want!

That looks really nice and I love the prelaunch. Keep it up!

[timtimlaz]

Do you have one of the big yellow gears? If so then you might be able to do the yellow to blue gear. That will probably go fast. I do like that pre-launch, now go build the actual launch!

Ha! Went on every ride but Montu was my favourite! I still love Kumba though and was actually thinking "wow! I still can't believe someone recreated this!"
I'm actually planning on recreating Scorpion after my current coaster!

Anyway this is looking very good so far and I'll be keeping an eye on this thread cause I know it will be a great coaster!

Aww, I had the same idea. Oh well, I still have many, many other plans o__O

[IOAgeek]

It's lookin awesome, u may want to take off those black clips, to lower the red gear a little bit, or put a gray wheel thing on it instead your choice, but I love it so far!

[JayketheKid]

That is looking great. I wish I could build that great.

[mitch]

I really like the idea, I'm wondering how much speed it has going through the pre launch first hill.
