I'm makin Demon Drop, its almost done, and it

works.
Details:

- The car is made of solar powered k'nex

pieces. The wheels are big around. Its not an SScar.
- I use double track so the

wheels actualy fit.(screen later, so dont ask)
- 4'6" exact, 4 ft.

drop
- Bendy brakes(green rods)
- About 6 mph(using my dads speed

gun)
- Elevator(hand cranked)

Theres some more, but my mom has

to use the phone. Ill have a pic later.

6mph? That dual track must take a lot of speed off

because I would think a 4ft drop would get it going faster than that!

It doenst have WD-40 and i mean by dual track is i

have track connectors on both sides of the track. Like < >. The < and >

are the green track connectors. I only use the top side for the track.
The car was

too big for the track so i had to do that.

I can't wait to see pics! I noticed that in

your sig it says that you are the 1st to make an Intamin 1st generation freefall.

Actually, you are the second. When I first got the original K'nex coaster, I built

one. That was years ago. I guess I don't have proof like pics and stuff but youi

have my word. Your is probably a lot better than mine!

I attempted one, i was able to make it up the lift, but got

stuck with the drop and transfer.

Go Broncos!

Ooh, no lie. I actually made one. Its wheels kinda

suck. The wheels dont spin well. My digital camera dont work wit my new comp. its

OLD! Anyway, I'll take some pics and get them on a CD in a few days to

2 weeks. Sorry for the delays. I only have one car that can work. The sturcture

isn't very stable but it works. I hope i can get to walgreens soon.
