The time has come again; I needed to build a new knex roller coaster.

'Which style are you going to use, Jogumpie?' Well, this coaster will be a so-called Intamin Megacoaster.

'Why not Bolliger & Mabillard?' I have only experienced Intamin Megacoasters and they are still one of my favorites. Their layout was also better than others's in my opinion.

'What is the coaster's name?' That is something I will keep secret for a while.

'When will construction start?' It already started!

Ooo.... Make it bad so that Rodeo will look good, lol... JK.

This looks awesome. I've been waiting for another coaster from you. I can't wait to see more pics!

Geebiz, this is ecxiting! Don't quit, please... If school gets in the way just quit school. Lol.

Yes! Another coaster from Gump!
I knew you were going to build a intamin.
Looks good so far! I like the support style!

[Jesperdude]

wow that looks so awesome!
looks like it's gonna take your full room;)
well, very much good luck with it;) can't wait to see more!

[knex-man]

Looks good!
I like the supports, hopefully are they strong enough.

[Jogumpie]

^If you use them right, they can be very strong. Building triangles helps.

Wow am I excited about this...I just hope that you actually finish it...It looks awesome, non of the supports are stressing which is very good for those kind...I am loving where this is going...

Intamin aeh?...I have to go with B&M since, of course, Raging Bull is the first hyper coaster they ever built, Iron Wolf is the first stand up they ever built, and batman is the first Invert the ever built, all at SFGAm...Infact, I think Iron Wolf was their first ever, not sure on that though...So B&M is for me, but what you base it off of really doesn't seem to effect it that much, since they both have basically the same principals...Good luck Gump!...

[TwistedDreams]

OMG was I right or was I frikin' right?!?!

I hope not. It'd be nice to see some complex helix's though:tmbs.

I knew it was a support on the lift. Dead serious. It wasn't that hard to figure out, because...

A-It was a coaster.

B- It looked exactly like a footer

C- Well.... It was just simple to figure out it was a footer and support!

I can't wait to see this! I hope it has a Buckle! Buckles taste yummy on coasters, lol.

[knex-man]

How high is the lift hill going to be?

BTW: I think I know the name!

[Antinos]

Are you going to do those horizontal supports when you get a bit higher? I hope so...So far, so good!

[Tyrant]

Oh the joy of having nearly a hundred-thousand peices.... lol

I really do wish I had the space and pieces to do things like that. Looks very nice though.

^haha some are only so lucky... As am I though, I won't lie. But only have the space for about three weeks until I have to take it down. That's why my new coasters are in my room.

Wow it looks really extreme!
You see it was a good idea:Dlol
Keep on going like this it look sreally awesome!
good luck with it! AND DON'T LET IT FALL!!

[imakecoasters]

Ach... Gott.... lol.

That is awesome! I love those supports! Too bad I can't do that!

So, you're keeping the elements secret? I think there might be a buckle, lol. Hopefully some nice air hills. I know you will make this as real as possible. I love the super realistic coasters!

[Thunder-Wood-Designer]

Aw man that is nice! Are you going to use those supports threw the hole ride?!

[fastman xc]

^same question. also, will you put those lateral support beams on the other side?

oh, yah, i'm on here taking a break from writing my Science Fair paper...which acknowleges some of you folks...I will post that sometime.

[Jogumpie]

^&^^: The designers haven't designed the whole ride yet. So I am not really sure.
^^: No, no laterals on the other side.

We have reached the top! And the chain has been placed. Next is the motor installment.
