Looks great, I think the layout is awesome and very fast paced. Is there a brake run at the end cause I don't want the train flying on through the station super fast towards the lift hill, it'll look a little better too.

Wow.... I don't know how you can build so fast :P
Looks fantastic and can't wait for the video!

Almost finished the video, just a complete circuit test for now.

Thanks. I was surprised that it doesn't need a brake run, the return route climbs back up the hill, which is bigger than it looks, so it just eases into the station and actually needs a chain to get it to the lift.

Cheers xD I'm off away from home most of the year, so I manage my time better now so I can do this, see old friends from school etc.   The video's coming soon. :) I'll probably put it up tomorrow or on Friday.

The final video is up - https://www.youtube....h?v=2DhWnmlBycQEnjoy. :)

 

I'd like to have go at a tube supported inverted/flying coaster next, something I've never really tried.  But I don't think I'll be able to start that until Christmas, cause I'm back to uni on Monday.

Looks awesome I love the final video and the brakes for the coaster are like perfect for when it hits the station! Can we get a few more pics of the station and details btw. You should do a flyer next cause I think you can make a creative layout out of that for sure.

I really enjoyed that final video! I love how the layout goes slightly downhill so that it seems to maintain speed really well in the first half of the layout. The woodie supports and the 'theming' fit the coaster nicely (the pile of lumber in the background is a nice touch!).

 

Whatever you decide to build next (tube supported inverts are awesome), it would be cool to see more terrain again. You're killin it with the coasters lately!

This is such a great coaster, it's so clean and it looks so great outside. Not to mention how well it runs too!

Love the speed at which you build. Very akin to the early days of the site.

This is a very good example of what you can do with pieces, good terrain, and crazy mad skills. Great video as well. Very well done man, keep it up!

Thanks for all the comments :)

Thanks. The station is the same as Krake's just a bit longer and with a different coloured roof, so I didn't take any more pictures of that but I've uploaded some more pictures of the whole thing. 

Yeah, I thought I could have a more creative layout with a flyer, I feel like with an inverted you'd be more restricted to 'classic' elements, but I'll see what i feel like when i get the time. I still have to dismantle this one first :S  The new, Flying dinosaur? or something lame like that, at Universal in Japan has a great layout, but mine will have to be a little smaller than that.

Thanks. It just happened to be there to give me the name (a massive tree fell down in a storm last year) 

I love them as well, it's a shame there aren't more of them. The k'nex inverts/flyers that have been built are all amazing, tatsu, nemesis, and firehawk, so I'll try to make it as good. I'd like to do it with terrain but I think it would be too difficult to do with tube supports. And while box inverts like minotaur are amazing cause of their shear size, in my opinion smaller ones are a bit meh, so it would have to be with tubes.     Cheers, I hope I have time for lots more!

Been back at uni for only two days and have already had twelve hours of lectures in total... shoot me now. But I've had some time free tonight just to upload a few more pics etc. and at least I have decent internet now.

And could you give Krake some ratings in the database for the Summer Heat if you haven't already, thanks.  (and this if you've got time)
