hey everyone, this is coasterguy27 and i run

Andrew's K'nex Coaster Showcase. this is probably one of the better

forums for k'nex coasters that ive seen so youll be seeing more of me around :

)

anyway i have been starting a new hyper coaster. i hope that i have

enough pieces for what i want, otherwise i gotta wait til christmas. what i want it to

do is go over the first hill, do another bunny hop, a some unique turnaround, and then

some bunny hops back to the station.

ill have a pic coming soon

well actully coasterfreak11 made a awsome hyper it

was sweet there was like 10 hills and coasterguy27 it's looking awsome man

keep it up.

[CostaKid]

He never said it was the first. Also, when did

Coasterfreak make one? I don't remember it.

[nitro9003]

I remember a coaster in the gallery with inversions

called hypercoaster. Maybe it was that one.

[coasterguy]

just to fill ya in on the progress i now have the second

hill up. i have it so it banks to 90 degrees at the top and then turns over on itself and

goes straight down. it then levels off in the opposite direction it started in and right up

against the other track. ill try to get a pic soon.

turns out i didnt have

enough pieces to do as much as i wanted, but i still think it will turn out all right.

[nitro9003]

I think I get what you mean and I was thinking about

doing that, but I never got around to it. It sounds Awsome. Good luck.

[coasterguy]

here is the pic of the turn around.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that

a Stengel Dive.

[CostaKid]

No not quite, this is a Stengel Dive.

[nitro9003]

Okay, thanks CostaKid. That looks almost like an

overbank turn without the huge turn.

After all is said and done with the coaster

I've been so patient with, I'd like to attack a hyper myself. Both the drop

and turn around are beautiful, and that turn around is much like the one I have on my

coaster now. Yours looks a lot better (the added height allows for a nicer twist

effect). Can't wait to see it finished.

Dive Turn-around:

[coasterguy]

thanks for the compliment on the turnaround. i hope to

finish it today, but i may not since i have a lot of papers and tests and exams (school

really sicks). last night before i went to bed i added another bunny hop that is almost

as high as the turnaround. i was suprised that it made it over cause it looks too high.

ill get a pic once my dad gets back with the camera (hes taking pictures somewhere i

think).

[coasterguy]

well i finished the coaster. it turned out a little smaller

than i thought, but its still good looking. i will have photos of it up on my site next

weekend.

[coasterguy]

hey, i just finished taking the photos of my hypercoaster

called mustang. you can see some photos here. i also have new photos of my new coaster, Cliffhanger.
enjoy

[gravitiatic]

Wow, that turn around turned* out awesome, as did the

rest of the coaster. Well done, well done.
