That's right, I will recreate Vampire at LaRonde. Since the track color almost exactly match, it will really resemble the real thing. Everything will not be to scale but the layout will be the same. I don't know if I will have enough piece to complete it but I have an expansion pack on the way so it will probably be enough with it.



Prepare for Vampire

Well the loop in the middle of the ride is going to be a chalenge so you should probably build that first and then build bakcward from there

This is going to be really cool I can tell.I have a question isn't that the same layout as batman at six flags great America?

[RCT2123]

^And every other BTR...

^^He is using CD...

Should be cool even though I am not a big fan of watching CD construction...

Do you have a 4 ft. lift? If not you should get one for this. I'm pretty sure it would help this have enough speed. And you don't need to buy the whole new assembley, just the lift track and spring.

[Outerlimits659]

Awesome!! I was waiting for you to start something new. I'm not too knowledgable about this coaster but doesn't it resemble Batman: The ride in some respects?? Can't wait for first pics!!

[LukeIsLuke]

At first, I honestly thought that the picture was your making

But now, this looks like its going to be awesome.

No, I don't have a 4ft lift, the scale height would be 2.10 ft high, I have it 2ft high, so it's way enough.

It's not possible with CD unless I cut my spine and I don't want to.

Yes, it is a batman clone.

Yeah, watching CD isn't as exciting as K'nex, I agree.

Thank you and yes, it is batman.

Thanks

Sorry guys, no picture I'm in a hurry but tonight I promise that I will post some.

[coastermaniac]

As promised, pics of my progress. Unfortunately I don't have enough base so I will have to wait for my expansion pack to continue. I can't get more heartling on the zero-g without making it sharp so it will stay like this.

I've never built with coaster dynamix before, but wouldn't it be best to put the rails on to get as much height as possible? Since the layout is pretty long, much longer than your last.

The loop might be a little too circular, though.

[PlanetSaturn56]

Shouldn't the zero-g be exiting at an angle?

[lazor 22]

^^The rails are not as durable as knex rails. They also don't go on as easy. I guess that's whhy he is waitin to put them on.


Looks good, as ^ said, the 0-G should exit at a angle.

[SwimZONE]

I agree with coaster55, the loop is to circular

[DJMK]

Yeah, squeeze it in a bit.

I'll find something to get the train to clear the loop, maybe I'll have to raise the first loop...

[lazor 22]

Hey coastermaniac, I am wondering if your rails are extra hard to put on and the splice are even worse? Do your rails bend alot when your trying to put them on? I think maybe my scorpian came with the "old" rails. Anyways, it looks like it has nice speed so far.

[Loop De Loop]

I told you that you might want to start on the second loop first:)

[christian]

^ Why? If he raises the first loop and the train barely makes it over, he'll have more speed for the rest of the layout.

-MIBB)

[Loop De Loop]

it dose not make it over as it is. And I have CD unless you change the angel of the lift with it would look bad doing so he is stuck with that height.

[christian]

^ Ummm.... no? He could take of the track and tubing or rails or whatever all the way back to the pull-in of the loop, rebuild it higher, then build the rest and put the tubing or rails or whatever back on.
