Coming in January...

Try to descramble

this message for extra details: ti wlil eb a secarnim suqrile ider thwi verankbso nad

olrsl. medna naduxa.

If you find

the answer, PM me and I will verify.

If nobody finds it by Tuesday, I will

post the answers. (Becuase it is not a widely known word, the last word is

Xanadu.)

Good luck

Coasterguy27 has figured out the secret already, so i

might as well post it:

it will be a screamin squirrel ride with overbanks and

rolls. named Xanadu.

Xanadu is a DDR song, do u play DDR or

something?

yea, any ways if there are overbanks then it is nolonger a

Screamin squirrel.

I thought Xanadu was a fairytale country in some

asian part of the world...

[Ace o Spades]

No, I don't play DDR, but it is a cheat code

from Zoo Tycoon. I thought it sounded cool so I looked it up and found it perfect for

my new idea.

Anyways, the lift is almost done, and is roughly 5 grey rods

tall. I might change the ride type to a Flying rollercoaster, as I have some great ideas

for that...

I'll keep you posted...

Can anyone show me how to make a good

corkscrew? I have decided to make a normal looping rollercoaster. PM me if you find

one.

Here is a link, it is from coasteguy27's

site!! Those corkscrews are awesome dude!!!



http://knexcoasters....ngcorkscrew.htm

[Westside7th]

The corkscrews at that site are good but they are

very small so they should be saved for the end of the ride. Put all the big inversions or

elements first or make your own custom corkscrew that is much larger.

[Ace o Spades]

Thank you very much Coasterfreak11!

This is my planned layout so far:

4 1/2 foot drop

Dive

Loop (coasteguy27)

Corkscrew (coasteguy27)

Helix

Thanks very much to coasteguy27 for posting such good instructions on his

webpage!

[coasterguy]

glad to see that you like my tutorials

, and im really looking

forward to seeing your coaster

[Ace o Spades]

I built the corkscrew, but just to see if it worked and

how big it was. The verdict: IT ROCKS!

But, while my mom was

cleaning out the house for christmas, she crammed it into a small box and it was nearly

crushed .

How many sets are you using?

[Ace o Spades]

I don't know, probably about 2. I own 3, but I

lost a LOT of peices on my first custom . For an idea of how many

pieces I have, look at Kraken's Revenge and add about 100 pcs.

[nitro9003]

How tall will it be and what's DDR?

[gravitiatic]

The stats are posted above (4.5 foot drop). This

coaster sounds sweet, though you should try some of your own variations on the dive

loop and corkscrew to really make it your own (no offense to Andrew's site).

And DDR stands for Dance Dance Revolution, a dancing strategy game for

Playstation (and other systems possibly). Hope to see some pics soon.

[Ace o Spades]

Sorry for the late update, but, Happy New Year

!!!

Anyways, the lift is almost completed and the corkscrew is done but not in

place.

About the Dive Loop. I built my own 'cuz I was in a good

mood one day. Now it is more of a "LoopScrew".

In other

words, instead of having the upward corkscrew rotating 90 degrees, it is rotating more

of about 45 degrees.

In order to accomplish what I wanted to in the

beginning, I need to add a new element to turn the track around towards the structure

again. I decided on an overbank.

I may not have enough track or pieces

for this, so don't get your hopes up just yet...

BTW, for your people

who go onto Coastersims, I wonder if Real will post his TTD at midnight

? It is quite likely if you

ask me.

Dive loops don't have to change

direction by 90 degrees. I would still consider it a diveloop if it only changes 45

degrees.
