OK, I am going to make a sit down ride called

Spider.


Spider is going to be a Halloween themed ride, with

Spiderwebs and other decorations, including a GIANT spider.


I

would like to have a boomerang in the ride but I have no idea how. Can someone help

me please?

To GregM: I decided to keep the name of the ride you found,

but do something different with it.

I suggest you put wd40 on the axles, it makes it

soooo much faster, quieter and better. If you are asking how to make a boomerang,

just start some track continuing on without any supports and then start shaping it, and

then building up and accomidating the necessary supports for it to be held up properly

and in the right way you want it to be. That's what I do sometimes.

Scratch what I said, I am making Deja Vu now.

This time I am going for realims more than trying to get it to work.

But I am still going to make it Haunted Deja Vu.

Yeah, but I want a challenge, this is something I

have wanted to do for ages.

I don't usually build my models by just

what YOU guys think, I try to build them on what I think will be fun. Deja Vu, IMO,

will be fun.

The reason is because I have never experimented with

inverted loops, and I have never experimented with Boomerangs before, so this is a

challenge, and, being a perfectonist, I love challenges. Also, I have found that building

rides you guys have built can increase my knowlage with building Knex, so I can build

better models later.

So be patient, I will make better rides when I feel I am

ready to.

And, don't think I don't take what you guys want into

consideration. I do, just sometimes I want to build something that I want to build

But, for the construction update, the tower supports are nearing completion,

and half the boomerang is completed. I am working on the other half of the

boomerang now, so it won't be long till' you get an idea of how this ride

will look.
