I found out how to make new coaster track. It saves flexi rods, and it looks cool. It's pretty easy to make.

nice idea, but it doesn't seem the least bit structurely sound. it would look great as a kiddie ride in someone's park, though

The way some people find fault, you'd think there was some kind of reward.

If you add more track splices, it is pretty sturdy. I'm using that track for my suspended coaster.

It seems like it could work on a wild mouse. It should be easier to make sharp turns.

It looks pretty good, but people don't have as many of those orange connectors as they have those track connectors. Plus, as it was said before, they aren't as sturdy either. But, it is a pretty good idea!

After working with it for a few hours, it seems sturdier. You just need to know how to place the supports. The knex website sells the orange connectors individually, so if people really want to make it, they can.

Yea, and the orange connectors are about a nickel apiece, so spend ten bucks and you'll have the equivalent of a set of ties.

It looks funny but i think it isnt super sturdy. And not everyone has many of that orange connectors! But though its a cool system. Good job

You could use that on your coaster, in the station or in the brakes if you want to use as little green connectors.
