The Bullet @ Flamigo Land does not have a lift? I am

really confused! haha

[The Beast]

I don't have RR so the lift is my only

option.

By the way Coasterfreak11 how do I get the train to go up back

wards and then releas it's self?

If you don't mind me anwering for CoasterFreak11,

one way you can do it is unscrew the front connector peice of the front car which

would attach to the seprate part of the front car, take out the chain dog, and the screw

the connector thingy back in. Hope that makes sence!

[The Beast]

Nope I am a frade not.

What the flip!, lol. All you need

to do is tape the chain dog up, lol.

Somehow, I get the feeling Andrew's question

has not been answered. To get the chain to pull the train up backwards should be

pretty easy though I've never tried it before.

Take a metallic gray

connector. You can attach this to a chain link by pressing the square slot end over the

link. It should snap in place. You could then attach a rod to the connector that will

catch the underside of the train and pull it backwards. The train will be released when

the connector and rod reach the top and roll under the lift.

Do you have the

original rollercoaster set? The same method is used in that set for attaching rods and

connectors to the chain so the coaster car can be pulled up the lift.

I would

do this on both inclines on the Bullet even though the real one does not have lift chains.

Tape up the chain dog as MMountainMan suggested. Then, attach a rod and

connector to pull the train up forwards. The train will be released when it reaches the

top and it will be able to roll backwards down the lift because you taped the chain dog

out of the way.

I hope this helps. I look forward to seeing your finished

Bullet model.

[The Beast]

Thank you for your help but I am afraid I did not

follow.

I did get advise to try this.

[The Beast]

Which uses this.

[The Beast]

Then I do this and add it to the lift.

[The Beast]

And by the way this is whot it should look like.

Up date
Not much!

[SSCoasters]

Please do not post construction pics in the gallery only

post them in the forum.

[The Beast]

I will stop that. ^

Nothing has been done

to Bullet.

More info later.

[The Beast]

UPDATE

I have finally gotten to the

loop!



I hope to get

even more done tomorrow!

[Metalhead]

That coaster might not make through going backwards

due to the turns.

[Westside7th]

I agree with coasterman, that lift is going to need to

be pretty high for the train to make it backwards.

We will see about that.

No new up dates for today!

I hope to finsh

the loop tomarrow.

[nitro9003]

I'm with coasterman and Westside7th, the

banked turn after the loop combined with the disadvantage that k'nex coasters

lose speed fast would let the train make it on the way back.

[~ACN~]

^^^you can use the edit button. heres and idea of how to

make it through the course. Make the loop at and incline. sort of like Speed: the Ride

at the sahara Hotel in las vegas. heres a picture of it
