Hey guys. I'm back within a week with a brand

new model! This one is still curently under construction. It's a recreation

of Corckscrew at Cedar Point if you couldn't already guess. The coaster is

about...two and a half feet tall, and the next hill is about a foot, then the loop is a foot.

I'm having trouble right now with the corckscrews so hopefully I can get that

cleared out so it can make it through them. So expect to see pictures coming

soon!

Sounds cool, good luck!

[sixflagsfreak56]

^And I'll need it^

The problem

I'm having is that the train can make it throught the first corckscrew, but no the

second. It's fustrating!

^ Try smoothing out the track and such... or make it

taller.

Add some lube, if you haven't already!

Is the train just not going through the corkscrew or is

it running out of speed?

I think it's just not going through

the corkscrew. I mean, it's going through the first one, but now the

second.

make it taller.

Tried that. Still

nothing.

Add some lube, if you haven't

already!

I still need to try

that. But I'm a procrastinator!

[sixflagsfreak56]

Good news! I re-did the corkscrews and the

train goes perfect through both!

Add

some lube, if you haven't

already!

Didn't even

have to! Even though I still should, it's a bit shaky on the last corkscrew.

[sixflagsfreak56]

Hey guys. I'm back with another

update!

The GOOD news- The course is complete!

The BAD news- The main chain lift doesn't work. It keeps stalling at some

points and I checked everything but I haven't found what is causing the problem.





Check back soon for photos!

P.S-Does anyone haver a good

picture of corkscrews station?

[FunkMaestro]

Try looking at Virtual Midway....

[sixflagsfreak56]

Ok thanks.

I tried to solve the chain lift

problem, I changed it so it's as good as it gets.

The corkscrew

I'm still worried about.

Pics

soon!

Happy birthday! 71 MORE POSTS!

[sixflagsfreak56]

Still no pics...

I'm very lazy about

uploading picture on my computer cause it takes so long...

When I finally

do (in the next few days) I'll have pics of this coaster and pics of CAUTION, at

least I think thats what the other coaster was called...hmm...I can't seem to

remember!

(I watch finding nemo WAY to many times!

)
