new flying coaster. Oh well. I will have pics soon I hope. I am waiting for my dad to
get the pics of the digital camera because there is ho more space on it for new photos.
My dad l0ost the firewire to upload the images so I am waiting for him to find the fire
wire
Unlike the other
flying coasters featured on this site, the Iron Falcon has realistic flying cars that
resemble the trains of Vekoma's Flying Dutchman coasters (Stealth, X-Flight)
The Iron Falcon has 2 trains of two cars each. Each car has one row that seats 2
people for a total of 4 people per train.

LOL! No, IWhen I
first read the topic, i thought you were making a 100 foot
ride!
don't think I will ever have enough pieces to make a 100foot ride. The coaster
is complete but as I stated above, I am waiting for my dad to find the fire wire.
A little off topic, I bought Rippin Rocket today! It is very cool but I only
have enough batteries for one booster and I can't find an AC Adapter for the
other booster!

Congratulations on getting the Rippin Rocket. I still have not been able to get it yet
although I did acquire a couple of Storm Mountain sets this passed week.
So, the booster for the RR can be powered with AC by using an adapter? That is
super news to me. Will both boosters accept an AC adapter???
Now viewable in the Screamin' Serpent gallery:
Race Thru The Clouds!(defunct)
Crazy Comet(defunct)

thingy! but if you have batteries in it and you plug it in it is more powerful
because when i unplug the adapter the booster slows down...but still gives the car
speed! if only the boosters were quiet!

Here
is a pic of Iron Falcon's state-of-the-art K'nex flying coaster trains: Train
Here is a pic of the entire ride. It isn't very
good but I have more pics I will send in to the site. Iron Falcon
And, since I kept you guys waiting so
long for the pics I decided to throw in some cool pics of Rippin' Rocket!
My version of RR has a slightly taller top hat. I added a pair of flexi rods to the top hat
to make it look more realistic. I also added rope lights to make it look
awesome!

string lights through the Rippin' Rocket? Bye the way that Iron Falcon looks
really good.
We pledge allegiance to our flags.
Pieces of cloth that cloak like daggers.
Material that is immaterial to our humanity.
That divides us but never unites us.
Patriotism is nationalism is Jingoism.
As long as we identify by country we will never know who the other is

inverted coaster but I didn't want to make an inverted lift hill because I am lazy
and custom inverted cars weigh more. I decided to try a flyer because the other
flyers on this site (not to be rude) stink. None of them have flyer cars. The layout
was going to be more elaborate with a pretzel loop and such but the train lost too much
speed so teh layout isn't the best.
The lights on RR are too big to fit
through the hole in the crossbars. I just taped the lights to the flexi rods.

coasters! Once the Iron Falcon is added to the sight, I will start taking pics of
my rocket coaster so I can send those in! Technically, the Iron Falcon will be
the first true flying coaster on the site because it has actual custom flyer cars. With
my RR set to add to my track length, I might be able to make a longer flyer
sometime! Maybe get a pretzel loop in there too!
