okay, just state your favorite part of building.


I love how we can do anything, right down to the exact curve that we want on our coaster.

I moved this to General, 'cause it's construction-related.

I build ball towers mostly, and what I like about them is that you can take almost any K'Nex piece and use it in an element on the machine. There are gazillions of possible elements to make with them, so that's why I love ball tower-making so much.

No offense to you coaster-builders.

when you just finished a one-hour shaping on an element that never worked and works perfectly...

^^^^I agree. Unlike RCT, we can make the exact heights of elements, and much more, although it is harder than pressing one button.

^Plus, we're not limited to types of coaster, angle, element, a grid, size, or shape. I like that.

^ oh good point. yes, the coaster is physical and we can interact with it instead of watching it on a screen.

i like everything about it, lol! but i like it how you can just do anything with knex, also like what MKM said, it is like building a real roller coaster, it cant have bumps, has to be smooth, Must be realistic...i really like that.

I like when you build a loop and it should go right through and then it doesn't make it....

I like building the pre lift, lift, and predrop. Mostly on B&M loopers though. And after finishing a element that's now perfect.
