Hey everybody!  Seems like forever since I posted something on here.  Been going through a tough time with school and everything else that I didn't quite have a lot of time to build anything.  But I'm finally getting back into it and I have decided to try and build something different than usual.  I've decided to build a custom inverted coaster!  This is my first time trying something like this so it has been very tricky so far but I am trying my best.  I don't plan for this to be a massive coaster (cus I have other plans coming this summer...) but I hope for this to be a nice decent size coaster.  Here is what I've got done so far! (p.s. Check out my fan of the month story on knex.com.  I am stoked to be up there!)  

Any advice or comments of my coaster so far would be awesome too!

Nice shaping as always! I've been waiting awhile for this to come up .

[WSWAoasters]

This looks fantastic! I can't believe how awesome this looks! I cant wait to see where this goes!

Wow. This is insanely compact but it does look very thoroughly constructed. Didn't expect to see this sort of thing from you at all but I can't say I disapprove. Seems like inverted coasters are coming back just now as well.

I did not expect this from you at all! This has got a lovely color scheme and great shaping so far. What's up with those radii on the half-loops?

Damn, that's one sexy cobra roll.

Wow, a very beautiful set of elements here. The tube colors are so wacky but appear to be well put together and do so much for the ride. Can't wait!!

[IOAgeek]

Looks awesome dude, where's the lift hill though so we know it will make it?

[rgarner42]

I like this, and I love the colour scheme. Interested to see how you start the layout.

I didn't expect to see this out of me either lol and thanks!

Thanks! and those were just there to help me shape it.

Thanks! and its added in now.  Practically finished.

 

 

Well it has been a longggg time since i posted an update for this coaster.  The main reason why was because I lost interest in this coaster.  I had no desire or will to go on and finish it.  So construction was very slow.  I was still building it but just never felt like posting updates for it.  The main reason for that was because I didn't really like the way it looked.  I had started building another coaster too as well and I pretty much pushed this coaster aside.  I don't like to quit on coasters so I decided to go ahead and finish this one anyways.  I cut the layout I had in mind shorter and ended up with this.  It isn't 100% complete yet but it is pretty close now to being completed.  I decided to post the end result of this coaster anyways to you guys so you can see what it looks like.  I kind of went a little lazy on it but I still feel it came out pretty decent.  I'll hope to have this completed very soon along with a final video.  I'm sorry for disappearing on this one.  After this one I will be tackling Thunderhead so stay tuned for that!  Here are some pics!

Those bins hold pure happiness. I wish we had a system of someone starting a coaster and then someone being able to finish it. The pace of coasters getting finished would be faster and everyone would enjoy finishing someone else's work. Anyone know what I mean?

I think the layout looks great and I love the colors surrounding it. It definitely gives a great appeal. I can't wait to see a video of this!!

[IOAgeek]

Yay an update! I was looking at this coaster a month ago and wondering what happened to it lol. Can we see a test video of the ride too? It look awesome so far, just add some nice details and a catwalk for the lift hill. Are you trains weighted btw?

[WSWAoasters]

I can't tell you how often I lose interest in my coasters. I often times wish I could build part of a coaster and then start a new one that I'm far more excited about. However, I feel like it's better to finish them anyways. This looks so great, I'm so glad you finished this one! Wonderful job, good sir, wonderful job!

[Muzz135]

Found you on Instagram a few weeks ago and was wondering when this would be finished. Really love the style of this build and it's a shame you lost interest in it. Still looks fantastic either way!

[rgarner42]

I was wondering what had happened to this. It looks great, my only concern looking at the heights of the elements would be the pacing. I really love the colour scheme. 

I'm looking forward to see how you tackle Thunderhead. The layout is fantastic and will be a challenge on its own but the coaster's use of terrain will complicate things even more. I hope you can give the impression of terrain changes in your recreation.

This thing is a beast. That's all the words that come to mind.
