Yes, you read right. I will soon be attempting to build nitro. This coaster is one of my favorites of all time. I have plans sketched out already and it will be around six feet tall, 18 feet in width, and 25 in length. I estimate the track length to be over 125 feet, and possibly edging on 150. I will hopefully be able to borrow some cars from SK86 and i will weight my trains, obviously. The lift design is as real as knex will let you go. For those of you who remember Screamin Serpent: Revised by coastergeekrct, i will adopt that type of supports for the lift and mix it with normal box supports. This coaster will be unlike anything you've ever seen. Boosters will be used ONLY if necessary. That means i will tweak as much as i possibly can. No "oh wells".

COOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!
but on the support thing, I must admit I have not the slightest Idea what you're talking about, but that's OKAY!
But if you can get it all the way with NO boosters, this would be like, THE coolest coaster ever. can't wait:D!

About how many parts do you have?

[coastergeekrtc]

Hope you can pull it off. Those supports I made for SS:Revised were a little weak and held each other up. It you had one standing by itself, it wouldn't stay up unless you added a cross brace.

[Antinos]

I think you should do box supports that are positioned just like the real thing. They will be much stronger. If you can even complete this and make it work, I will guarentee it will win top model AND golden top model from the SSCAs.

^^^I estimate my peice count to be at 25,000-30,000.

^^There are cross supports, its just from the side so you can't see it. I also didn't draw them coming from the sides on the upper picture because i'm not sure how it will work.

^Box supports are my second option

Thanks guys.

The Hammerhead is very off. I think you can make it look better than that. It kind of goes out and in, if you now what I mean. I can't find a good picture of it.

[coastercrazy10]

Yeah i know its not great. It'll be more stretched out on the model.

Even if you strectch te hammerhead, make sure make it come outward while its going up and turning and go to the right while it coming out, because I know this coaster like the back of my hand, it does that, it's not round.

[Spinout]

Can't wait to see some construction done.
