While I work out the last few issues on my Star Wars Coaster, I'm building a new model that I hope will be done by the end of this month. Not planning anything too crazy. Just a standard lift hill and some large RMC type elements before racing back to the station. The biggest selling point of this ride is that it's going on the roof of a 3 story house.
As always, suggestions are welcome!

I'm excited to see this! Seems like the theme for this came together perfectly! I always am amazed by the theming of your rides, so I'll be interested to see what you can do in just a month.
(Side note, your vlog updates really make me want to do something similar...)

^You should totally do some construction vlogs! I'm so mad there a never-ending stream of theme park and coaster vlogs, but hardly and K'nex coaster construction ones!
Been building a bit this week after work. Got the pre-lift section complete. The train doesn't make it with normal wheels, but hopefully Jonnie will come to the rescue this weekend with his magical wheel assemblies!

This coaster is going to turn out to be quite the showcase for Jonnie's wheel assemblies! Not too often I decide I can go with the longer version of the layout in my head, but there is just so much speed!

This looks super sick! It definitely seems like there is a lot of speed here.

Everything looks great, I'm impressed at how fast you built this.
On that 3D printed car, did you use SS axels as a base or did you make custom ones?
The whole 3d printed car is custom made, along with the wheel assemblies.

This circuit is complete! Now I am giving myself a week to finish the theming.

The pacing and flow of this looks great! Looking forward to see what you do for theming.

The scale is really great. Man, I wish we had access to Johnny's trains back in the heyday of SSC.
Everybody's Russian!

Wow, the height on that track through the length of the circuit is just incredible!

Thanks everyone! Theming is coming along. It's MUCH more difficult on this coaster as everything has to be waterproof. But I'm still shooting for completion by Saturday!

Final Construction Update! Most of the theming is in place! Will be working all day to get this done within Black History Month. (Thank God for Leap Day!)
