This is my new Knex coaster, the layout was originally a looper with 3 inversions, but the layout had to be changed due to lack of speed. The new layout was then a shuttle coaster with one loop, again the layout had to be changed due to lack of speed. Now, this layout is a hyper, which will hopefully work.

Here are the pics:

The red ovals shows you what the elements are.

The parts will be build in my room, the entire coaster will be in the guest room in my house.

Better supports would be good. you have to have 45* supports in the support column.

I cant see much with those pictures quality though.

The quality isn't that great because the pics were taken from my laptop. My laptop has a built-it webcam, which allows me to make videos and take pictures with it.

The red ovals shows you what the elements and areas for next elements are.

Could we get a side view of the drop, we cant really see much from the pictures.

Sure, I'll do that for the next pics that I'll take.

[coasterfanatic11]

that had better be a 45* lift hill otherwise: :boom
anyway, more box supports for the drop, that way it won't have straight parts.

[Franko]

suport on every crosstie thing and you wont have lack of speed

[SwimZONE]

Wait, I don't think that's supported enough, and I think thats a straight sdrop I see... on hepheastus, I try to support every two 'crossbar' on the track

Turnaround:
http://www.sscoaster...=1&d=1231813010

This is what's getting me thinking about the turnaround, the support base of the turnaround is shaking everytime the train crosses it, I'll post a video update about it tomorrow.

Wow... dude... You're starting too big if you're building ^. (no offense)

This is how you build a lift.

[the_burrito_master]

yeah vvs shouldn't be that huge because the track looks realy hard to get smooth with that huge of a turn. make it a lot smaller.

I'm gonna talk about the turnaround on the video update.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Go smaller. By the way where did you get the red track??

The K'nex Double Dare Dueling Coaster.

300th post woot!!!

[VV Khan]

Oh my God. Where am I when you need me?

Quick Update:

The video update won't be posted due to quality issues. Instead, I will remove the turnaround and change the drop. Expect new pictures soon.
