Check out my new coaster, Six Shooter. It isn't

large or very impressive, but gave me an opportunity to use MMountainMan's

brakes and my "unique top hat".

Actually (Sorry about this bad news), but I came up

with that "top hat" element when I was building (as some of you may

recall) Fusion. If you want proof, I still have some pics of it, so PM me or IM me on

AIM for proof. I called it a Hammerhead. I know that is the name of the element of

Raging Bull, but that was the first name to pop in my head.

I imagine if that top hat were real it would hurt your

neck at the top.

Yea, yea......Geez, everyone's

so literal. They haven't built it yet, so I was the first to "construct"

it. :P

Yes, I'm especially

curious how they worked, looks like you built them all fine, you even got the same size

washers, lol. I have thought of a top hat like that so therefore it's mine and you

all can't take it....you guys, who cares it somebody THOUGHT of something

first even if you could prove it.

I have thought of that in all seriousness

now, Sadly if you think about it logically it would hurt because even if you sent it

through at the lowest speed that it would make it over it would still hurt people in the

front and back, it's a cool element though :P
