As you can tell by the expression on R2D2's face, he's pretty excited about this one.

Loop looks similar to that of a G.I.B. (and is also elevated like one)

I think R2D2's sad you tore down Scorpion's Tail. On the other hand, the loop looks great! The only problem I see is the entrance for the loop (right side) looks a bit sharp.

The signature you have requested is not available at the moment. We apologize for the inconvenience.

It could possibly be a Giant Inverted Boomerang, but you did build Invertigo already. What happened to Hulk? Anyway it looks great!

Shhhhhhhh. Let's forget about that. This will be cooler anyhow.

Russian, actually. It's heavily inspired by a Russian coaster.


I just got back home from college last week. I've gone 9 months with practically no Knex, but now I'm reunited with my baby <3 Who needs a girlfriend anyway?

The loop's supports make it look like something will be going through it.

Come on guys, it's a GIB (re-igniting the curiosity;))

Edit: that could be part of a song. It rhymes.

CWUS, NCcoaster, Witting, and DaBansheeMan... YOU GUESSED IT! It's a Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang. Specifically, Déjà Vu at SFMM.

All the red/orange/yellow supports are temporary until I replace them with tube supports. I'm utilizing the support style Gump used on Balrog.

That looks beautiful and tall, but that's probably because of speed. I remember seeing a video on youtube of Jumpge's GIB but it had bad speed loss. But I hope it won't be a problem on this
