well today i got the rr and i love it!! the

boosters are very powerful!!! but loud and for me the ss car

wont even go through the boosters!~~ it made me angry..but

maybe if i mess around with it i can get it to work...but not as of now....but i think it is

worth the money...especially since im out of supports!! but tomorrow im

gonna tear it down and finish my mr. freeze model which i have 1/4 of it

done!!!! and then i ran out of supports so i bought the rr

so tomorrow i may

finish mr. freeze

well i ogt myself two rippin rocket sets on sunday i also can see why

the ss car wont go thru the boosters. but i had a thought that if u cut off the the portion

of the plastic up to the screws that the ss car hits it would go thru just fine and not hit

anything.

[coasterfreak11]

yes, that would work, but then the boosters would look

weird

Has anyone had any luck launching an ss car through an

rr booster yet???

If you filed off part of the boosters so the SS cars would

fit, the SS cars still wouldn't work because they are not wide enough. The cars

would go right through and the boosters wouldn't even touch the cars. You

could probably add some sort of material to the cars to make it work but you probably

can not have more then on car per train. The boosters can't handle more then

one car.

westside- you are exactly right!! also here

is a pic of my rr!!

i still like the SS, it has more attitude

[Westside7th]

I tried adding a layer of carboard to the ss cars so I

could get it to launch in my filed-off boosters but the ss car didn't even make it

to the 2nd booster! Maybe I could attatch the ss cars to the RR car and have an

actual train. And since the SS cars fit through my modified boosters, I could make a

RR coaster that has more than one car! Just an idea.

Here are pics

of my RR. I modified the top hat to look more realistic.

the night time one is sweet with the rope lights

[coasterfan20065]

yea get like a flashlight and shine it on the sign on the

tophat that say "Rippin' rocket"

[Westside7th]

I am going to get more rope lights at Xmas when they

are on sale. Then I can light up the whole ride! I am currently tearing down the

RR so I can make an Xtreme rocket coaster! RR doesn't use the boosters

to their full potential; my new rocket will!
