^ He should maybe but a corkscrew?

I

think a Zero-G Roll would be cool!
And i would also like to add...
WHOA! I have liked this idea for a long time, but seeing it in Knex!

Amazing! i cant wait to see how it works as a finished coaster!

Squirrel, if you read my post correctly you would have

seen that i said i have SAVED 5.5 feet of track.

And in other news, the

train goes up the lift properly with about a 7:10 sucess rate, the other 3 time i had to

give it a little push, but its all good.

This coaster looks sweet! :D If you are using

magnets to hold the trains how are you going to get them to release the train for the

drop?

That looks awesome. I hope the layout is as good as

the lift and drop! Looks like a lot of work is going into this.

well, its that time again...UPDATES!

The end of Echelon has been completed! Elements are as followed: Drop,

inverted tophat, zero-G roll then finally an uber cool hypercoaster style turn into the lift

platform. The layout may change if anyone has some better suggestions.


EDIT: Due to some confusing of my words, Echelon is not complete, the

Zero-G roll, lift/drop and the uber cool hypercoaster style turn are completed, not the

whole thing.

I can't wait! However, I would rather see

a immelman or dive loop than an inverted top hat. it jsut doesn't seem like a

vekoma element or an element you would see on this type of coaster.
