Well two nights ago I destroyed my storm mountain

roller coaster and one of my custom launched coasters cuz it was not all the

impressive! All it did was launch, do an inverted top hat, a loop, and then a turn

and do it all over again! So after I destroyed that I was still bored so I decided I

would make a cobra roll because I had never built a cobra roll before! So I built

it and by the time I finished it- about 30 minutes, I was tired so I went to bed!

But while I was lying in bed I decided that I would make a boomerang

coaster!

So the next morning I started the station area and then I

made the back lift and then i tested that lift and it worked well because I used one of

those red 45 degree connectors to carry the train up and then when it got to the top it

would release it! After that I made the loop and then the second lift! Then

finally I made the station!

The coaster works up the back lift, then

releases it and goes through the station, through the cobra roll, then it try to go through

the loop, but does not make it all the way through so it valleys right there! So I

push it through the loop and then it goes up the second lift, then it is released from the

chain and goes backwards, goes throught the loop and then goes halfway through the

cobra roll and valleys there!! So this model works somewhat like the real

Dejavu because of all the valleying! But the coaster does look

impressive!!

I took pics of it with one of those new dispoable,

digital cameras! So when I would get it developed I would get a cd with the pics

on it so I could upload it to the comp. easily! But I think I got it at Walgreens and

when I took it to wal-mart they said that they could develop it but I would not get the

cd back with it becuase the do not sell those cameras there! So I did not get the

pictures developed, but I should have pics within a week!

Awsome. Can't wait for pics!

SOunds good. But, I

don't get something, how to you relaease the car if the chain is still attached to

the car because the car would just stay there.

[Westside7th]

Wow, that was a pretty LONG story. I am interested in

seeing what the lifts look like. Hope you get the pics developed soon. (next time, wait

until you have the pics before posting.

[sixflagsfreak56]

Why should he wait? Almost every single coaster on the

site has been in the designing process and they have promised pics when the coaster

isn't even built. But, if you do say you have pics, then you should really have

pics. But, I trust Croasterfreak, he's a good guy.

[live4bb21]

please please please post pics. I've yet to see a

boomerang that has impressed me much

[coasterfreak11]

Sixflagsfreak- I taped the dog thingy from the car so it

would not attach to the car. I added a red 45 degree connector like the one on the

original roller coaster and it attaches to the car underneath is and at the top it keeps on

pushing the car up and then the connector goes through the gear on the top and it

relases the car and the car flys down the track and through the course! And then

when it goes after the loop and up the second lift if it does not catch on the connector

then it rolls back and forth and then comes to a stop and since the train is i think a 5-6

cars the front car is over the gear at the bottom of the lift so that when the connector

comes around it attaches to it and does the same thing as the first lift! ( I hope

that was not too confusing)

Westside 7th- I do NOT have to wait until I

get pics to post because most people usually give construction updates on there

coatser but I decided I would just wait til I finished my coaster and then post wat I

made because if I said I was making a boomerang coaster and then gave up then

people would be dissapointed! And no one has to be dissapointed now because it

is already finished! Also for my Oasis model and my Gemini recreation I also

had construction updates and did not have pics of it til prolly a month later!

[sixflagsfreak56]

Yeah I get what your saying. And Westside, even I have

construction updates. I always post my projects before they're built!

[sscoasterfan]

I think i understand how this coaster works, but does the

train have to wait at the bottom of the second hill for the connector?

[coasterfreak11]

Well sometimes, but not all the times becuase there

are only 2 connectors on each lift because otherwise if i had more when it dropped it

would hit a connector on its way down!

And also my mom is not

home so she may be shopping and she may be gettin my pics developed!! (

but who knows!)

[sixflagsfreak56]

Maybe, she's getting you another SS set!

[coasterfreak11]

Sorry to bring back yet another old topic...but I

FINALLY GOT MY PICS BACK!! So here are 3 pics of

Flashback!!!

[coasterfreak11]

here is another pic....its actually pretty cool

pic!~! haha

[coasterfreak11]

Here is my final pic!!

[Da Squriel]

Thaty's good how do you get it to go up the hill?

nice but the 3 colors isnt cool.

[live4bb21]

thats an awesome recreation... i like how the real one

was the same colors as the storm mountain... or at least thats how it appears in the

pics.

[coasterfreak11]

squirrel- if you look in the last pic you can see a little

connector that is pushing the car up the lift...then it will eventually release. also I made

it 3 dif. colors for a reason!! First of all, I did not have all that much green

track left...and the nite before I had destroyed storm mountain and i built a cobra

roll...so i was not going to retrack it a dif. color...also the station area and the loop are

yellow track from RR and the lifts are SS track. I think it looks good actually because

the colors are somewat organized! and also if you were on teh coaster if the

track was dif. colors then while riding it it could be a blurr~!

live4b211-

Thanks

[Shockwaver]

He has storm mountain, rr and ss he used those 3 sets

on it. thats how they have different colors

[sixflagsfreak56]

Thats very good. It looks very realistic. I also love how

you made each car on the train a different color. And I love the gigantic monkey in

the backround in picture numner two!

[coasterfreak11]

Yes, I did use dif. colors for each section...and also

sixflagsfreak- THANKS and i won that monkey at sfgam!!

[sixflagsfreak56]

I gotta get on e of them for myself. If I do, i'll be

sure to put it in one of my pictures!
