Like the title says, should I keep building or no? I've finally had the time to build a coaster and this one has been plaguing me the last few weeks with the space issue I'm being forced into. essentially, the coaster can't be huge. I'm really happy with what I've built and I've even got a perfectly-working chain return that is a perfect fit for this chain (I just need to re-tube it since the chain is getting caught on the transition from one tubing section to another halfway down the lift). I'm also really happy with the crest and how it turned out; it's also really strong and able to hold up more than enough weight. There are still a handful straight spots I haven't bothered touching yet, but I'm debating about keeping this ride up and not scrapping it for a smaller one. Have a pretty interesting layout planned as well, if I'll be able to squeeze it into the allotted area is the biggest challenge I'm facing and you might see some parts I put in place.

No way Hose

Keep building. That lift looks amazing and a great coaster doesn't have to be big.

Everything you build is so detailed and perfect; you have some of the cleanest builds on this site. It would be a shame to scrap this, especially if you already have a plan for the rest of it.

This beautiful! Don't scrap it! Please? by the way that is the coolest chain return ever!!!

[REXENK]

Definetly keep it. I really like the short and wide lift hill, and the tube work is amazing.

I like the nice, clean look of your builds, do not scrap this one.

Oh. My. Gosh. That is perfect. May I suggest the next element be a cobra roll? That would solve some space issues....

[Jumpge]

From the lift to she shaping, it would be a shame to end such a great coaster. I'd leave it and build this coaster.

[Cobra Roller]

Yup. Build on LambChopz sir.

This is amazing, it's exactly the same lift as fahrenheit this is realy realistic !! I can't wait to see the next elements

[IonZer0]

I would say keep it, though the past-vert section seems to be a little squished vertically. You were one of my favorite builders from when I was new. I hope you can finish this!

If space is an issue make a super compact fun twist ride! keep going!

And you're comment on the chain catching really makes me wish I had a 3D printer as there could be a cottage industry of custom knex compatible pieces, like chainguides that work just like the real thing (so that chain would follow the curve going into the lift hill)...

I tangent... sorry.. keep going!!!

An Immelmann or cobra roll will help your bitchy mother calmed down. Like everyone else, I would advise to continue.

Wow I love it the shaping is good and the height fits perfectly.
