First off I'd like to say that Poseidon is still going on I just need to get the supplies for the scenery.

But now to what this thread is for. Psychosis will be a coaster that is unlike any knex coaster ever created. Psychosis will do something that has only ever been successfully done on very few coasters, and has only been done once in real life. And then it'll send you through as many inversions as you can handle. So sit back hold on tight and get ready for Psychosis

Right now I'm trying to get the boosters a bit more power so that the train goes through the zero-g-roll a little faster, but I'm thinking about keeping it, but I want your opinion first.

This looks a lot like the Incredible Hulk. And is "the thing never done before" the launched lift into a zero-G roll?
Those are slow boosters...

EDIT: vvv aha yeah me too...

Looks really nice! The boosters don't launch it that fast, but that is to be expected because of the SS cars. I love how you got the twist to be so smooth without max crossties. Good job!

EDIT: When I started posting this comment, there were no other comments besides Maverix. When I finished there were four more! Just thought that was funny.

nitrodude-The layout is as follows-lift hill launch into zero-g-roll, make it up as I go :)

1coasterfreak-If you read I said that this has been done before but only once or twice, and yes that is inspired by the Incredible Hulk.

Coastermaniac-Thanx.

crazywizz100-They are but this is a unique launched coaster ;) And I think the boosters just need new batteries.

Rollercoasterfanatic919- Thanx

Keep the comments coming!!!

Looks nice. I think I smell a Backdraft type drop coming. The zero-g seems wierd, maybe too much heartlining? Slightly though. Don't worry about it, it looks great.

Wow, very nice launch. (Look at the tags for this thread)= since you say it is "unique", you should put in an element such as a inclined loop or sea serpent. Well, hope this turns out good.

If you made the lift faster by using a drill or adding motors you could get more speed out of the boosters. Or use less cars. Anyway it looks nice so far. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

It should be inverted at 180* at the top of it. That's the only problem I see.

Overdue update, but I haven't been able to get on the computer for very long periods of time. But I finished the drop and what will be the end of the ride, and built a little Special section.
