Hey Guys

 

After my Kärnan rebuild I decided to build a custom polarcoaster. The tower is done and has a height of 6ft! I've also done the track from the station till the first curve after the chainlift.

You! Your so sneaky! This was going to be my next project! It was going to be the first of its kind! Oh well, looks great! And 6 feet is a lot of space to work with, so it should be interesting to see what you throw in there!

Tons of space for a load of creative elements here. I think the VV will suit the style of a Polercoaster well because speed loss won't be hugely important. A good choice of project if I do say so myself.

Thank you both

Yesterday evening I've continued with the track and made a twisted beyond vertical drop, an overbanked turn and a dive loop. I've also been testing it and it works well with the speed.
Over the weekend I should have a lot of time to continue building on it.

This is one model where I feel like slim track is going to be much more fitting than SS track.

[CW5X]

Yeah. The slim track really works for the style of this ride. I'm already seeing much twisty goodness. Keep it up

[K1ngdaKa88]

Today I made a lot of progress. I only need to go 3 more blue rods in height down, till the track is done! 

I added:

- roll

- loop

- helix

- diveloop

Thats soo cool

Very neat, If you had 2 tracks running it would be mesmerizing to see 2 cars twist around eachother. 

[Batwing]

I approve. Nice work!

This is what Micro K'nex was made for: whilst it's seriously compact, you've managed to pack in a load of seriously twisted elements. And you've also managed to avoid VV speed loss at the same time!
Looks great so far!

[K1ngdaKa88]

Thank you

About speed loss, there actually is a small problem. Because only the red train doesn't get's thru the looping, but the blue one works well there! I think I'm gonna make a new connector between the cars...

[CW5X]

In a lot of ways, this is quite clever because a lot of standard VV layouts are structured like this type of coaster and you've adapted it into something that is being built in real life. And wow, it is really twisty.

[K1ngdaKa88]

Thank You

[K1ngdaKa88]

What do you think of the Name "Twisted Terror"?

[K1ngdaKa88]

I'm almost finished! The only thing left I want to do is the station. 

As you can see, I've made a 2nd small chainlift before the station, that I was able to build till the bottom. And the best thing is, that everything runs well!

 

About the name, I've decided that I'll be calling it Terror Twister. IMO this sounds a bit better than Twisted Terror. 

 

And now a few photos:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you like it?

A very handy design for your bedroom. Maybe I should look into this sort of thing at some point. You did a great job squeezing as much in there as you could, especially at the end where it's crazy.

[K1ngdaKa88]

Thank you

BTW: the ride time from leaving the 1st lift till entering the 2nd lift is 8 seconds

[K1ngdaKa88]

Sorry for not posting, but the last few weeks were pretty busy. If everything goes well, the Video will come online this Friday.

I've made a small loading platform, but nothing more. 

PS: If you have an advice for a song to use for the Video, you can tell me, but it must be copyright free! (for example NCS)

here is the small station.

Have fun
