I have started construction of my new coaster. The

thing that will set this appart from other ss coasters is what other knex ride it will

combine with. The ss coaster will be a small hill loop and maybe something else but

where it goes is different is what ride it interacts with. Searching on rcdb i found a

roller coaster called thunder dolphin.(spelling) The ride is a roller coaster but it goes

through a ferris wheel that doesent have a center!!! I have built my

coaster and am 90% finished with the centerless feris wheel. I made a structure and

have chain going around the outside to make the ferris wheel work. Pics should be

comming soon. PS. If you want to see a pic of the real ride here it is!

I remember seeing that coaster on rcdb. The thing

that I thought was the coolest about it wasn't the ferris wheel but how it went all

over the rooftops of the city. I wish I could ride Thunder Dolphin. Its real name is La

Qua but they say the closest translation to English would be Thunder Dolphin.

I thought La Qua was the name of the park. Thunder

Dolphin is the real name.

Hey all! I just got back from vacation. srry for no

updates on my coaster. well anyways Costakid is correct. Also this coaster has been

closed down by the city. They said it was illegal and it was too loud for the city.
