In the first pic, it looks at little bumpy. In the second one it looks really smooth.

[Antinos]

^Its impossible to make a coaster of this size smooth. Thats one reason why small coasters are sometimes better.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

This thing is massive! I wish someone lived next to me and had knex.

[Top Thrill Dragster Freak]

It definetly is way better then before, I am starting to see how rediculously huge this is going to be...When did Walibi world say they wanted it done by again?...

Wait! You mean to tell me that Walibi is commissioning Jogumpie to build a knex model of a coaster they have?! When did I miss this?!


TTDfreak :confused:

[Jogumpie]

Goliath should be done by the end of April. I want to build my parts in December and January though, since I am in the last year of high school.

There are a few minor bumps, but I hope you all know I am not going to spend more knex on more supports.

[untd4eva]

how long will the whole track be

[Jogumpie]

Around 360 feet long. That's about 14 or 15 SS's.

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

Thats longer than some coasters in the real world.

[flat_cat63]

That's unfathomably huge.

And awesome.

[untd4eva]

How you will keep the train running along that kinda distance I do not know.
Where you will put it aswell

[knex-man]

^This will not be a real working model...

[Jogumpie]

Oh right... I was still building this, lol. Goliath won't be a working model.

[khai15]

just use boosters still will be fine

[fastman xc]

^dude, boosters would totally destroy the integrity of the coaster.
Anyway, this coaster is truly insane:lurk

[khai15]

wuts the point of it if not working model

[RCT2123]

^Wow, he has a deal with walibi world to make a model of their coaster Goliath...I have mentioned this many times, learn to read...

Also, That is where he is putting it...

[Jogumpie]

Dear Jochem, Jochem and Roy,

As promised I would tell you when K'nex's plans for 2007 are decided.
Unfortunately I have to disappoint you. K'nex does not have the resources for a K'nex event in Walibi World as you have proposed. That is why we will not organise this event.

Regards, "knex"

[pkiknex25]

Well, that sucks. But who knows, maybe you can get a deal with Walabi World and leave Knex out of it.

[Jogumpie]

I'm pretty sure there is no budget. So bye-bye Goliath.

[RCT2123]

Wow, that was unexpected...That really sucks...
