I have been selected as one of the knexpert semifinalists. I originally entered 2 entries. K'nex notified me saying that they liked both of my entries equally and I could choose only 1 to advance. Which coaster should I choose to advance? I made a poll but please comment on why you chose the coaster you did as it would be helpful for me.

Option 1:

Moliath







OR...

Ballistic Missle





THANKS!!!

Well a lot of the models I've seen in the contest in the past have been pretty big so at least you have that sorted. I'd probably go for Ballistic Missle (Missile? I don't know. I'm not American) because it has a good range of elements and is pretty imposing anyway.

IDK, honestly. What age division would you be in. In other words, do me and my Riptide have to worry about you?

Now that's rude.

I've always imagined that winning K'NEXpert come naturally to SSC members. Maybe not, but the bigger, the better, it seems. Don't waste your tears to enter. The chances are closer than you think.

Good luck.

^How is that being rude? I just want to know if he and I will be in the same age category. If he is he is competition. Honestly, I don't which one has a better shot.

I'd go with the first one that is very tall. From I can tell, the contest and random set of voters for Knexpert do not care about the quality standards of this site. It is more about the perceived shock factor.

I would go for Moliath. When people vote, they look for "wow factors" and Moiliath has a wow factor!

Thanks everybody! I decided to go with Ballistic Missle (it's spelled wrong for a reason)because friends, family and I like it better. I understand what you guys were talking about the whole "wow" factor. It was a close call but at the end I made the call. Thanks again!

Ps.

I'm in the 13-14 age group.

I made myself sound like a know-it-all and a jerk in my first comment. Please forgive me for my jerk comment. I hate it when I do that. All in all it is your decision, and you made a great one! I am sorry for making my comment sound like it has to be law. Sorry.
