I know I'm bumping the thread but it is a sticky and I have a question.

Do you think I could get a five car un-weighted train to go up 9 feet with this launch?
I want to know what people think before I start building one for Top Thrill Dragster.

Try, and if it's not fast enough, make it longer or shorten the length of the rubber band. I would suggest making it longer first.

Doubt it. You would probably need a 15' launch to do that, and surgical tubing would be a must. Try it out for the hell if it. It would be cool to see attempted yet alone done.

It is possible, but you'll have to use more than 1 rubberband. 2 rubberbands wrapped around eachother in combination with a longer launch should do the job!

Okay. My launch will be roughly 15'-16' long and I will look for a few nice rubber bands. Thanks for the help.

Ok so I have made this but I still don't understand where to put the smaller rubber band I have read the instructions but I am still confused if anyone knows and can provide maybe more specific instructions that would be very helpful.

I don't belive this is considered bumping b/c the thread is pinned but if it is I am very sorry.

Do you think I could build this with only 1 screamin serpent set with only a few extra pieces (if necessary)?
