O.K. it's time for Scorched to come alive!

Scorched will be a B&M hyper coaster. It will start out as an out and back but will finish with a notorius twister section. Scorched will also have a unique element not seen before, in knex or in real coasters.

So sit up right, hold on tight and enjoy your ride on Scorched!!!!!

there is something wrong with the drop, I think it has a sharp spot in about the center and right below that is a straight spot. I may just be seeing things. The pullout is nice and smooth though.

EDIT: I like how you used black and green crossties on the lift, I also love the red + blue track combo.

[rollercoasterfanatic919]

I think the drop is a bit steep, but everything else looks good. I wish I had some blue track.

i like everything about the ride except for the drop...there is something i dont really like about that drop:(

[coasterkid101]

I think the crest for the lift hill is too sharp.

[Antinos]

That color scheme is so familiar. Haha, its ok, I don't mind it.

The shaping of everything is ok, except that the second hill could be less shallow, but it's nothing to fret over.

I'm impressed by how much your skills have improved in 5 months. You're building some high quality rides now.

^thanks man, that means a lot comming from you.

I'll try to get an update soon. I wanted to do a vid update but it was to large for photobucket to load. So i'll get some pics soon. I redid the drop and finished the second hill and started the station. i'll give more info once i get pics.

I agree with Roller Dude, you have progressively come a pretty good builder in a short amount of time.

Just a tip, if you are doing that support method where the rods are attached to the white connectors then you might want to put key holes on the end just for extra stabilization... I couldnt see if you did but It always helps

good work..

[Maverix]

Well i finnaly have an update. A BIG UPDATE. I redid the drop a bit finished the second hill as well as finished the hammer-head and finished the next hill. i think the hammer-head looks great. I have also finished the station. so time for pics and a test vid.











And btw thanks Rollerdude and Sirchubs33 it means a lot from you guys.

[Mikecoastermaniac]

The first airtime hill seems to steep to me.
But everything else looks pretty good.
nice job

[Antinos]

The hills seem a bit steep, but they're passable. The hammerhead doesn't compare to mine though...

[Maverix]

^it's not supposed to look like yours. I wanted it to be a cross between Behemoth's and Nitro's. I really like the way it looks too, so unless there is something anybody finds significantly wrong with it I will most likely keep it.

^^Conceited?

Yeah the hills are a little steep but I don't care leave them. Something about this I really like it.

[DDRman732865]

Hey, I like steep hills, so I'm not complaining. Looks really good. I like the hammerhead.

[Britfag]

this is really, really nice.
i like how steep it is, and the hammerhead is awsome,
but i dislike the station...
overall: lush.

[Mr.FreezeFreak]

Wow!It's great! The speed is perfect, but I think that the hammerhead should be banked a little more.

[Coaster55]

The only thing I see is there might be a straight spot going into the hammerhead in the 6th picture, but it could be the angle. Everything else looks great.

[Airtime]

move on, what kind of motor are you using? wait, are you using the one from the knex dragster set?

[mtlfootballer10]

all looks well. nice job so far!
what will come next after the airtime hill?
im anxious to see how this turns out.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Wow looks great, I have to get my hands on one of those motors. Can't wait to see the never before seen "element". Great work, move on.
