I had no idea you are going to be this detailed in this re-create! Maybe you should make miniature clones of yourself and put them on the train! Don't worry, I'm kidding.

If you have seen my tutorial then you will know how one wheel back there can push the entire car all the way to the next one with no jerking.

[Outerlimits659]

This looks so SICK!!! I can't wait until it's finished. What sort of theming do you have to finish, besides the knex dragster engine with realistic smoke effects to attach onto the back of the car, and the knex dragster tires :iyes Oh, and don't forget the knex bleachers with knex people in them and the knex people standing in line. This is gonna be sooo epic....

[the_burrito_master]

^ grumble grumble grumble. AHHH that's so much more than I thought I was gonna do I'm not making the bleachers those are pointless ,even in real life.

the line ok maybe...

the theming I have to finish is the station and the exit stations covering.

[Loop De Loop]

Don't be mad at me but can we get an update vidoe of the coaster?

By the way the lights on one light changes. It should go to the top light to the bottem light. Fast.

[the_burrito_master]

^ I cant do that when I don't have the supplies now can I?
no I why would I get a video of it now. why are you always asking for videos? he coaster is done now and if I gave every one a video no one would watch the final vid.'

the test vid was plenty.

[VV Khan]

Exactly, more videos just completely ruin the whole coaster and you my friend are the king of re-creations.

[coastermaniac]

K'nex genius

[Maverix]

All that's left to be done is Millennium Force...

[da master826]

[the_burrito_master]
