I also vote more supports for strength. Since I

don't have intimate knowlege of Millenium Force's support structure, I

won't know the difference if you don't make them accurate.

And as for

where he's getting those two $13 SS sets... I bet he's getting them

from somewhere in Canada. ;)

Ya its only cheaper for

me cause I dont have to pay duty and stuff and more shipping so it would be more

expensive for you guys in the end if you bought one from canada

See the problem with knex

is you cant just bend a piece the way you want to and dig it into the ground, but

actually I just completed the overbank it looks pretty good, so now Im going into the

first turn into the tunnel. And ya Canada rules for cheap prices but there are some

heavy bidders cause theres not a lot of products
