erm as i was browsing around the forum earlier i found

some things like log flumes and water coasters i then thought that would be a great

idea for mee to do next year when its warmer(cause it winter and the water would

freeze) but the only problem is the stickes on the ss car i dont want to wreck them by

them falling off 4 future ride's so HHHHMMMMMM maybe next year then

:mellow:

Umm...this forum is for suggestions and it

doesn't spund like you are suggesting anything for anyone to build. This should

be in the Ideas forum. But anyways, I though of doing a water coaster but it is getting

to cold here, too. The only problem is that water might get into tight places around the

wheel axles and if I can't get to that area to dry it off, the metal axles could

rust.

very good point there they will rust which means you

will have to use a bit of ws 40 which is even better because my dad can get loads for

me at work for free

Do you mean WD-40? If you do, I don't think

WD-4o would help you stop the axles from rusting.

wd-40 wont stop rust. and how cold is it? water

doesnt freeze instantly, unless it is extremely cold, like below -100.

When I said it was too cold, I meant that in Michigan,

where I live, it is too cold outside for me to want to go and build outside. I can't

make a water coaster inside because the water will splash onto the floor and that gets

messy. Water freezes at 32 degree farenheit and 0 degrees celsius. It won't

freeze instantly but layers of ice will form. Ice is not good for the parts because it can

cause cracks and such. You could put anti-freeze inthe water, though.
