formaly known as jester (pics tomorow) ther has been another coaster under

construction behind the scenes kept away from the public to see this coaster has been

kept to myself and it was so hard not to tell you in the week why i did it i dont know its

like alton towers nemisis that was they kept it to themselves untill the people wonderd

into a new aria not knowing what was there well thats not the point. The coaster has

now been released to the public its a scremin squirel coaster but now in my park it is

called TEXAS TOPPLE and the slogan is texas topple can you handle the edge. (pics

Oh, ok. I thought you were talking about a Vekoma

Cliffhanger. You know, the Vekoma Cliffhanger tips, and the name of K'nex

Crazy's coaster is Texas Topple, tip-topple, like the same. I thought you meant

the Vekoma Cliffhanger in lamest terms.

no its not a cliffhanger its i screamin squirel but mine is

kind of different all of you who made the squirel have missed out one thing the station

you just go all the way upside down to get to the lift hill missing out the station my

coaster has not got those tight drops mine are abit bigger becausse it creates bigger

airtime. what i mean by i have got a propper station is that at the bottom of the ride

###### soon as you hit brakes it terns a corner into the station and terns a corner to

get to the chain . look at the bottom of the ride for the corner.

Why would you want bigger drops? Then it

won't be a recreation b/c the real SS has tight drops and the tight drops

aren't meant for speed. I have seen a video of SS and the drops have brakes on

them so the train goes really slowly through the curcuit.

I had made CliffHanger off of their computer

generated model, at that time that was how it was in the layout, I did'nt make the

que or antying, but where all the cars rest on the lower part is the station, and then

starting the coaster it drops down the first fall over. That is so increadible to see the

screaming squirrel coaster! to see it from a simple image and now that is unreal,

it seems like the whole structure would need a portion on the other side for the

supports since they are leaning but I guess it's strong enouph since they built it

that way. I just wanted to point out that mine was not wrong because it was'nt

based on that coaster in the picture. I guess they went with a turn instead of the drop

to the station, it makes sense since the chain motor might have to make an emergency

stop and they would be hangin up side down. I just can't believe that coaster,

it's so awesome.
