Ah yes, I forgot about Storm Runner.
I lowered the gear at the predrop to allow a much smoother transition into the flying snake dive. I am currently smoothing out the twist at the top of the drop, but I will try to support it more.
Anyone have an idea for a name?

^I agree.
Maybe some kind of severe weather? Or some kind of movie?
Whatever you decide, it won't take away from the coaster. Looking forward to another update.

Is it just me, or does the drop some what look like alpengeist's, just not inverted?

^It does in a way.
Excellent idea, TH. I will work on the drop (if I have time) today.

Never mind, by altering the drop I ruined the whole thing...
This project has been put on hold. My interests can suddenly change, and they did. I don't feel like building this week. It will be finished, just don't expect frequent updates until my K'Nex addiction comes back.

sweet nice coaster.
I have a question. is it better to use like 8 sets of gears like you have or is it better to keep it simple with 3.

^Thank you.
I am adding scenery and a video will be up shortly of a test run.
Oh and by the way, there is no magnetic brake. It barely has enough speed as it is to cling on to the station chain.

Actually, you only get better torque is you pair different sized gears with each other: A gear ratio.
For Example: Small gear on input, big gear on output, torque decreases, speed increases. Big gear on input, small gear on output, torque increases, speed decreases.
The coaster itself is decent.

^Sorry if it was a bit of a letdown. It was all that was planned to be, just the twister element didn't work as planned (speed issues), so i decided to change it. Just being curious, anything in particular that you don't like about it?

^It wasn't supposed to be an overbank, it was to be the last element on Storm Runner. But due to speed problems I had to lower the twisting to ground level, which kind of ruined the element. But thanks for your comment anyway.
