Thanks fantom. Good luck with those. They look hard.

[coastercrazy10]

Well not so much hard as intricate, time-consuming, and tough on the fingers. I haven't done anything else as of yet, but i'll either get tomorrow or thursday off from baseball, so i will try to work then.

If you look at the pics, he does have box supports on the lift. Just a row of them though, coupled with the columns.

Great job so far.

[zapa]

I think he said that he would take the box supports off once he finishes the other kind of support, and it is strong.

[RCT2123]

Yes infact that is what he said. I still cant believe your attempting this. If you build on thursday will you have pics up?

[TwistedDreams]

I wish I had the pieces and room to do this. It looks sooooo kewl already.
I can't wait to see this done!

^Me tooo, i dont have the room for CC10`s coasters and all the pieces but that would be so awsome:D

[imakecoasters]

I would NEVER have the patience to do this. Or pieces and everything. If CC10 pulls this off I will feel amazed and go hide in a very dark corner so no one car see me and hide away my terrible coaster designs cause they are nothing compared to this. Great job!

[coastercrazy10]

New pics!






I added a chain catch, the chain, and the rest of the track.

comments appriciated.

^Those are very interesting supports CC10. They don't seem very effective, but knowing you, they are probably working very nicely fo you. Is that a new design, or is it just the first time I've seen it, because I've never seen anything like it before.

Very interesting indeed.......

I like the chain catch. It's the most realistic lifthill I've ever seen. I still am amazed at how realistic the supports look.

[TwistedDreams]

^^It's not new. But this is the first time use on such a big coaster. Plus he's only doing it on the lift.
Great job CC10. I wish the chain catch would go all the way to the bottom instead of half way, but it's still nice.

[RCT2123]

Wow it really looks good....Hope to see some more awesome little details like this!!!

[CP-ephY]

What pieces did you use for the catch? You should add railings to the lift. Looks awesome btw

[Antinos]

Ya, those supports aren't new. Coastergeekrct made the screamin serpent with those supports but never posted pix. I also used them in Ceres.

[RCT2123]

Well his are obviously way better then yours Rollerdude......JK JK. I figured that they had been done before becasue over all this time no one would think of making more realistic supports???? dosen't make sence.

[TwistedDreams]

^it's because they consume pieces like a Knex eating monster and don't even hold that well.

[Antinos]

Exactly. But in my case, they worked to my advantage. I didn't have enough green and dark grey rods so I decided to use those.

[coastercrazy10]

I used the tan clips for the catch. I'm probably going to switch them to gray holed connectors though, i have more of them.

I think i'm going to move on now. If i have the pieces left over, i'll go back and make the flower supports. Right now, it's strong enough and i have tons of things to take down. I also have a couple of flat rides that i'm going to put around this. Never before seen scrambler-type ride and an innovative pirate ship ride.

When are you going to show us pictures of the flatrides? I hope it's not when you finish this. Can't wait to see the drop.
