After I complete my Banshee stand-up coaster,

what kind of coaster shall I build?

1) No one has made an Intamin fish

hook so that would be interesting and it would be at least 7 feet tall.

2) Iron

Falcon 2 (working title) would be a sequel to my flying coaster Iron Falcon but would

be bigger and longer with more elements unique to flyers.

3) I think an out

& back hyper-coaster wuld be easy but very cool. Mine would feature many

large hills before the turnaround and then a bunch of bunny hills back to the station.

This coaster would probably be at least 15 feet long!

4) I had an idea

to make an impulse/rocket coaster that would have a figure-eight style layout like the

actual infinity symbol. I would use RR booasters to launch the train up two large

tophats/or turnarounds on opposite ends of the coaster. It would be a full curcuit

coaster.

So, what shall it be?

I really liked your Iron Falcon Westside. I think you

should make a sequal with more things in it

anyway

anything would be good

Westside, do you have vaulted ceilings? I know the

ceilings seen in the pics of your other rides are high, but 15 feet? Or are you venturing

outside for this one? I would love to see a good, high, hyper coaster, a custom rather

than all the MF's going up around here. Nothing against you guys, but the MF is

really hard to pull off accurately, since speed isn't the best with SS trains. And I

haven't seen a good classic hyper yet, that I remember. If anyone has links or

pics of a nice one, please post 'em. But I'm sure you could pull off an

excellent hyper. The fish-hook would be a first, and seems easy enough, but

wouldn't be too exciting. And I love your RR custom, Insanity; still stands as the

coaster with the best looking vertical loop in my opinion. But you could do that well

too. I'm pushing for the hyper, though.

IMO, you should make a Hyper coaster with lots and

lots of hills. For what I've seen, I haven't heard of a saw a good hyper yet

on the site (no offence to anybody how did make one). It depens on how many sets

you have but if you have a good amount, maybe you should shot for something like

Nitro or Apollo's Chariot. Something like that. But what would blow my mind,

is if you make the supports just like B&M makes theres. For example: make it so

that the shape of the lift hill looks like a giant A. Thats would really get some

popularity. But the choice is yours and yours alone. Good luck-and may the force be

with you.

I meant thet the hyper could be at

least 15 feet Long not tall. Probably 7 feet tall or taller. A fish hook would be easy,

maybe I can build it later. If you liked the loop on Insanity, wait until you see

Banshee's loop! It is 4in. taller and a lot bigger!

Sicflags,

the supports won't be the A-shape but I am going for a minimalist look on them.

I am sort of planning it out in my head. My basement is really long so I have a long

stretch to build upon.

So far, it looks like it is going to be a hyper!

However, the voting wil continue until Banshee is finished, hopefully at the end of

December!

[Westside7th]

So far, over 50% of you want to see a huge out

& back hyper coaster. The rest of you want to see another custom flyer. I am

working on a lyout for the hyper and so far it would feature the frist drop, then 3 large

hills, a turn around and bunny hills back to the station. I can't really tell you if

that would be the final layout because the friction problem with K'NEX, etc.

could cause it to change. If I was to make a flyer, it would be called Steel Falcon.

Please keep voting!

[nitro9003]

I think Intamin hypercoaster supports would be best to

build with k'nex. Good luck. Whatever you build I'm sure it'll be

great.

[Westside7th]

I had a new idea to make a coaster with a vertical lift,

then a beyond vertical drop. Then, the train would go vertical up a hill and then go

down the hill vertical too. That would be followed by an inverted top hat/overbanked

turn and then bunny hills back with an overbank into the station. How does that

sound?
I am having a lot of trouble deciding. I want to try to make a fish hook

because it would be simple and easy so I could get it up shortly and then tear it down

for a bigger model. However, a really want to do a hyper. A flyer would be the

hardest. Keep voting! Construction should begin on this new coaster about a

week or so after x-mas.

[nitro9003]

Would that plan be your hyper?

[Westside7th]

No, it is just another model I had in mind. As of right

now, once I finish Banshee I will quickly build a fish hook coaster and then tear it

down after a week or so and start on the hyper coaster (unless the votes change).

[Westside7th]

Well, it is now official. I will be building a hyper

coaster! However, after I finish Banshee and demolish it, I will be building an

Intamin fish hook before I start this project. I just want to experiment with something

different from the traditional full curcuit coaster. I am already working on the blue

prints for the hyper coaster and so once the fish hook is complete, I can start work on

my hyper coaster immediately.

[Westside7th]

I have decided to build the hyper coaster next. I

might make a fish hook later but my next coaster will definately be a hyper coaster.

Check out the new topic for it in Upcoming Models. Thanks for all who

voted!

Mods can close this.

[Kurahk the Hyper]

Yes! I want a fishhook, and it wouldn't be

that hard, so could you please do it?

[Westside7th]

I will build the fish hook eventually but not for a while.

I want to build the hyper coaster first.
