Hey everyone,

After what feels like a very long time away from SSC, I'm finally back! I logged on here the other day with a new device and for some reason, it showed me all of my old notifications which were mostly messages from people. Looking back on these messages I sent to people reminded me that I have been extremely asshole-ish towards many people on this site, and I would like to apologize for my behavior in the past.


I honestly had no idea what I was going to do with this coaster other than I wanted to build an inclined launch. Eventually, things started to come together, and over the past few days, I have made great strides with it. Although the images I have are disgusting because I have to redo the track and some of the supports, it still shows what I am going for. I have a few shots of the coaster so far, a couple shots of the gearbox, and a test video I shot earlier before I changed the layout.





Thanks for taking the time to check this out!

Update: I replaced the old test video with a new one, in order to better show off the new layout.

Hey, I saw this on Instagram! Like I said, I love that first element, it's very unique and looks good from all angles. It's funny, that's the same way I started my coaster too - I just wanted to build a launch at first. Anyway, what's going on with that gearbox? I see a lot of red gears but I can't figure out how it works.

Yes, I saw that! Thank you! As for the gearbox, I just kind of started putting things together until it worked--there wasn't really any kind of unity in building it. With that said, I'm pretty positive it could be improved drastically, however, it gets the job done! Here is a quick video I made to, hopefully, better explain how it works:
