I'm planning on putting up track as soon as I get

the station figured out. I wanna start in one place so I have to cut the track only

once.

[Adam_Deux]

Yeah, but Nitro I meant when did he think datewise

the track would put on. "Probably when the supports are done" means

nothing.

[Sim-ple]

I hope those k'nex rods don't break off

when the coaster is in motion.

[Adam_Deux]

They're hot glued on. . .they shouldn't

break off. But then again they might!

[coastergeekrtc]

They don't look good with the rest of the

supports. It should only cost $10 to buy wooden dowels and spray paint to

replace the Knex. And, how do you know that the coaster will make it? I would test it

as you build (Like build the top hat...test...build the cobra roll...test...and so on).

[Adam_Deux]

Well he has to get his LIMs done, if he's still

doing them.

[sixflagsfreak56]

Well, as promised...UPDATE!

Today I

worked for about two hours hot-glue gunning k'nex supports to the CD supports.

Long and tiring. I guess this is the boring part of the construction. Anways. I got

two good shots, but one didn't upload for some reason. Anways, here is the

picture with the track (looks bad, I might need to change a few things). Remember,

try to imagine the stuff in the picture the color BLUE!

I know you said you were going to change some

things but I wanted to point out what you could do. First, the first vertical support

should have the "J" series joint @ 90 degrees on it (this is on page 11 in

the Dragon instructions but is not used). That way you could move it back and forth to

get the track right where you want it. Second, the bottom support on both sides does

not look strong enough. Maybe do it like the second pic, where the red is the support

and the black is a connector (The top connector is a "M" and the bottom

one is a "L"). That would make it look better.

[coasterfreak11]

Wow, so you are going to paint that side blue, and the

other red. This should look awesome then. Because no offense, but I thought it looked

bad w/ the knex being different colored. But this should be really nice. Hope it works

for ya!

[coastergeekrtc]

Are you building this anymore? There hasn't

been an update for close to 2 weeks.

[sixflagsfreak56]

Anyways, I have an update!

Hope you like!

I hope to get the maintence stairs up by the end of the week!

[Westside7th]

Wow, that is impressive. Awesome job so far. I

want to get a set, now! Keep it up!

[coastergeekrtc]

Theres not much of a difference from your last

update. You just added scenery supports.

[Physix]

Awesome! That's a great idea to combine

K'nex and CD together! Keep up the good work.

[Swimming24-7]

*at a loss for words becuae of its awesomeness*

[Sim-ple]

Get the track going. *humph*

[sixflagsfreak56]

It's been to long...another update is

needed!

I added some more supports to Robin's cobra roll, but

I don't have enough peices in the set to finish it. I have to wait for Coaster

Dynamix to get a catalog up so I can order individual peices. Anyways, I also

modified Batman's tophat to make the track looks more right. I also started

work on the station, though it's far from done, think of it as one step closer to

putting on track! An exclusive picture is also at the end of the update that shows

the plans and the blueprints for the ride with all the ride speculations on it too!

Hope you like todays update!
