Going for something a little different and new for me. I guess I've dabbled in these sort of supports before with Chainsaw but nothing really like this. I anticipate this being a pretty low to the ground, fast layout but a very slow build because of Univeristy commitments though I should be able to find time for it. If I run out of some pieces then I'll just swap them out with greens and half-moons. Anyway, enough words.

Holy cow it's beautiful.
I cannot wait to see more of this, it looks so nice already.

That pre drop looks pretty sexy... On another note, what happened to you? It's like you died and got revived.

[CW5X]

I died? Maybe for a couple of weeks I didn't post much, but I still was on here pretty much everyday. I did rather K'nex myself out for a while at the end of the summer though and my fingers have only just recovered, hence this.

That looks very nice. No complaints.

omg so good. (thumbsup)

Love it! There's just something about SS woodies.

I wonder if they'll harvest the real Loch Ness monsters remains and use them to build an actual wooden coaster...

It is always good to see the construction of a blue rod woodie, and this coaster is no exception. The predrop looks fantastic and you will have a very decent height to work with. I cannot wait to see the next update!

Oh my goodness, that's wonderful. I love me a good blue rod wooden coaster!

Thank you. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

I agree. I've wanted to build one for a while now. Thank you.

I wonder. Probably not though

Thank you and here it is.

So University has rather limited my time to work on this and I haven't managed to get much done. But this ride isn't and won't be dead. I'll keep it going slowly when I have time. Anyway, I've built a low high-speed turn that should fit behind the hand-chair. Let me know what you think.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also gives me a chance to use the gallery thingamybob.

Thank you.

[pkiknex25]

Me gusta. I'm interested to see what comes next

[Mister Piglette]

It looks good, but it looks like it will take away some height. I like the hand-chair though. Fits my style.

[BGTKing]

Sorry, I was distracted by the giant hand. Is there a coaster in there?

[Spaghetti]

Oh wow, the wooden hand and coaster look great!

[frank]

You have a big helping hand  .

Looks fantastic so far .

[Old_Hag]

This really reminds me of the Hurler clones at KD and Carowinds so far, except this is way smoother than either of them   Good work!

[Helmut]

The turnaround reminds me of The Hurler at Kings Dominion, it is unique to see it being used on a K'NEX coaster. The pull-in of the turnaround could use some tweaking, but everything else looks well-shaped and well-supported. I look forward to seeing the next element! 

[Maxlaam]

Interesting design, high speed turns and all, lovely! Personally I think that low turn could have a bit more height variation just for looks, but that's just me. The pre-drop turn is flawless!

[Batwing]

Nice work! I love compact wooden coasters, and for some reason, blue rods suddenly make everything better!

Will you be going out and back through the drop's structure? That is the question....
