Well as I finish up my Looper Genocide, I'd figure I'd anonce my next coaster. Poseidon will be a intamin hyper coaster inspired by Thunder Dolphin. This coaster will be one of the most unique knex coasters ever created with some nice scenery and its interesting track layout the coaster will be like nothing ever before! More information will come as I finish my looper. Though construction will start very soon.

[DeAzncy]

wow, i like the sound of that! post pics ASAP!

[Maverix]

Well I finished the station today and, personally, I think it's the best I've ever done, hands down. I managed to get a preaty good curved roof, some good stairs(TH's Devestator) and some nice rails inside the station. Well here's the pics.









Can a mod move this to construction please?

[PlanetSaturn56]

Amazing. I smell TM material...

[Coaster55]

Amazing station, I can already tell this will be good. Will this be going on top of a desk or something like Thunder Dolphin?

[Maverix]

^^ Thanks I hope so :tmbs
^ You'll just have to wait and see.

Well I have a small update, I built a brake run and turn into station. I will change the height if necessary, but I will keep it for now.

[Cardsandcoasters]

Dang dude, that's insane! The last pic makes the station look even better. Can you get a closeup pic of the brakes? I'm curious how you attached them....

[Britfag]

that station is something special!

make sure you make the rest of the ride par with it! heh,
and good theming would be nice, but thorough theming, so its not just a tree by the exit, it'd be trees all around it,
anyways
lol
looks good.

[Airdog]

I can't wait to see this.I hope you finish it!

[Maverix]

CAC- Thanks and here you go...




So accually the train hits the silver rod underneath and the half moon connectors just give it the look. I might add tubing if necessary.

Minimoggi- Thanks and if you read the first post I did say I would have some preaty good theming. (part of it is parentpermisson pending that's how much I'm going for it on this)

airdog55- Thanks and I'm not going to cancel this no matter what happens.

[Maverix]

O.K. I finished the lift. I think the crest is fine but I want your opinion.

[PlanetSaturn56]

Perfect, dude!! This looks sick!

[DDRman732865]

I think it looks too flat. Maybe if you make it a little sharper. And I think the pull-in is too small. But besides that, it looks great.

[lilmikemarin]

Its perfect man. And interesting chain lift system.

[DeAzncy]

^lol seriously! the crest looks great and same with the station.

Is the part of track on the ping pong table for the part that goes on the roof like on thunder dolphin?

[CuteLittleBunny23]

This is lookin good so far. i like the station a lot

[TripleHelix]

Warning: Use an actual water-proof container, or at least have a Wet-Vac around.

It looks great so far, but the chain may go through some very stressful tension if the trains are too heavy.

[Coaster55]

Everything looks great so far, so does that track on the table in the first and second picture..

[Maverix]

Wow can't belive there were more comments after the lift and crest then the station and turn combined. Thanks for the comments guys keep them coming!

TH and lilmikemarin-The reason I put the chain like that was to look like the cable running for a cable lift like on Millenium Force. (the cable runs all the way to the bottom of the drop for those who don't know, you have to look though a door that you can only get a good view through when you wait for the front.) And I'll probably have to redo it for two reasons- 1. stress on chain. 2. the train easily makes it up a small part of the lift and there is slack in the chain because it goes through the station.

cca and Coaster55- Thanks and you'll just have to wait and see.

DDRman- It's an intamin coaster the crest should be like this, and the pullin to the lift should be that small(the one on Millenium is really small too.)

DeAzncy and PS56- Thanks.

I should have the drop done by tommorw night, but my brother has a baseball game so I might not get the whole thing done but I'll get as much as I can.
