started on my Wild Mouse roller coaster!! So far I have the lift hill with
gears and track finished!! Also, tomorrow I am getting the Big Ball Factory
from my friend for $25 so that will give me an electric motor and lots of
supports! Also, this coaster will
not work because of the tight turns, but it will have a working lift and look neat as if it
does work Here is a
pic of what I am building!!

realistic...otherwise the ride would be out of proportin (sp?). The cars goes down an
inclined straight away and then comes to the turn and just stops because it is not able
to turn through such tight turns.....But if it did work it woudl look really kool beacuse I
could have like 7 or 8 cars going.....but actually sadly enough...I am not sure if I have
7 or 8 SS sets!

because than there would be nothing draging behind it. than build a free spinning
mechanism on the car and havetriggers on the track, that would be sweetness.

would have had pivoting wheel assemblies moving laterally like real coasters do, they
don't make it around really tight lateral turns because if the rails are turning to
tight the rails rub against the frame that holds the wheels. If only they had that there
would be no reason for your coaster not to work.

some so maybe the cars wheel assembly would be able to move. I've never tried
it so I don't know if it would work, just a thought.

assemblies and put maybe some small washers or knex spacers between part of it so
it would pivot easier. Hmmm, I smell time to experiment.

more pieces and this morning I finished the station and the control booth and more
straigh track sections!

survivor...and we got out of school at noon Friday...so I have had more time than
usual to build this because I have not had much homework lately Lets just hope I have
enought supports to build it now

tonite!!
Well construction resumed tonite and I finished A LOT
of the supports and some of the turns at the top, I thought I would finishe it tonite, but I
am taking my time and also, tomorrow I will have to study for 3 tests that I have
Thursday and I also have to watch Big Brother 4 because it is the
finale!!!! But I am sure I will still have time to work on it, but
just not enought time to finish it...so I am pretty sure that it will be finished by
Thursday nite if I dont run out of supports!! But it is looking good so
far!
