This looks fantastic! The speed on this ride is good, and the layout is simple, but great. Can't wait to see the next coaster! :)

Such a great coaster, great speed, shaping, and supporting. Its amazing thinking that this sweet coaster is just part of the soon to be legendary Helmerpark.

That looks great, it flows very nicely. I love how you used a simple layout but added a little twistyness.

All parks need a classic woodie, and Helmerpark deserves one too. It must be really fun designing your own park and actually making it out of k'nex. Looking forward to the next attraction.

Thanks!

I hope you are also satisfied with seeing a flatride first? ;)

Thank you!

That looks great, it flows very nicely. I love how you used a simple layout but added a little twistyness.


I changed the ending three times, but I am satisfied with the final result. Thanks!

It is definitely fun! I totally agree with you, the classic wooden coasters are awesome!

The speed on that little thing is actually quite amazing!


Thanks, the speed throughout the lay-out is pretty realistic as well.

Thanks! I am glad to hear that you find this coaster cute.

I absolutely love the "Wood Racer"! its a really classic ride and very smooth!, I`m really excited about the whole park! ;)


Thank you!

I started working on the next attraction in the park: the Ferris Wheel. It takes much time and many parts, to build the backbone, but I like the way it looks.

That's looking good. But the spacing between spokes is off, something not to care too much about untill you reach the end. Instead of making a single closing element make 4 or maybe even more to balance it out a bit more. Ahh, what am I even saying, you'll do fine :)

That's an epic rim on the Ferris wheel! It reminds me of the station you built on Timbuktu, in fact I think it's the same?
Anyway can wait to see everything finished! Maybe this will be a real park one day? ;)

I really like this wheel so far. Are you going to use tires to power it? I can't wait to see what it looks like finished. I think all k'nex ferris wheels are amazing structures.

You were right, the spacing between the spokes was a little off. I was able to solve it though. Thanks!

Thank you! It is the same concept as the station roof of Timbuktu. Haha, that would be great! ;)

Yes, I use tires to power the wheel. Thanks!

I am not sure yet. I will build as many rollercoasters and flatrides as possible.

The Ferris Wheel is finished!
