Well this is my new Intamin Rocket Coaster. This coaster will have a slow construction speed untill my brother finishes his coaster and plus the fact i'm leaving for Hawaii soon:) But once everything else is done(what i just mentioned.) the coaster will be done rather quickly. And while i'm waiting i would like some name ideas. and in case you don't know what a Rocket Accelerator Coaster is Here Oh and btw this coaster uses a drill launch

It looks like the turn shakes quite a bit. I would add braces going out from it and connect the turn together in the middle. I am also not a fan of the launch structure. I would make it like this because it would not stress the supports.

Other than that, looks pretty good.

I'm feeling a horseshoe roll. You should continue banking it up into a left horseshoe roll.

No fair! I wanted to be the first to build this kind of coaster! Looks good, though.

The launch is not straight, because its supports are kind of crappy. And with this speed you're going to destroy your whole coaster.

Are you looking at Furios Basco as a reference? I know this is said a million times and that its pretty damn obvious, but knex do not hold as much speed as really coasters.
I would make a more fitting element to begin with, turns just kill all the energy you get from the launch.

Well sadly i have to cancel this coaster because every time i would launch the coaster the chain would snap or a gear would break off and i even tryed lighter trains and the same thing happend. I may come back to this design later but right now i don't think i have the experence quite yet. Can a mod please close this thread.

Where'd He Go?
Posted 15 March 2008 - 09:28 AM
it may could have been because your supports were very fragile, and you did not have cross braces. I think if your ever going to do a launch like this one again, use blue rods and granite rods, kinda like a woody strucutre

You could try a different launch mechanism...
Drill Launches are often unreliable.
