Apollo 14 will be a great coaster from Airdog industries. Layout can be seen in coastermaniac's layout shop. So some of the main elements are a hammerhead, airtime hills, and maybe two helixes. I hope to finish this coaster because I've cancelled all my other ones. For christmas I got a new SS and RR so I have many more pieces. This is all I have so far \/


I will be moving my k'nex to my room so expept a update on late friday or early saturday. I will also change the rods tobe the same color to look better.
I will put track on tommorow.

not to be a downer, but apollo 14 is trademarked by supportking86 (my personal buddy):

I'd really like to see you pick a different name, since even though apollo 14 wasn't the greatest or anything it has sentimental value to me.

Looks good so far. not much to say other then connect the base together.

[Airdog]

CC10: Sorry I did'nt know I'll tell you when I think of a different name.

MP: I'll do that tommorow after school.

Comments welcome.
EDIT- Should I use Hydro or Hydra

[coastermaniac]

I'm glad you will use my layout, which reminds me to make the other one :iyes i'm so busy now.

How about Hydro Fusion ?

[Airdog]

Hmmmm Hydro fusion I dont know I'll think about it. I still like Hydro though.

BTW I might be going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg!!!

[~stεεlspectrum~]

I like Hydro better. Don't use Hydra though, it's taken (durh).
BGE, huh? Ill be going to Williamsburg this summer on a D.C. trip...but not going to BGE...

[Airdog]

Ok I'll change it to Hydro. Thanks update when I get home from school.

well i work there! LNM!


You couldnt possibly miss me.
But the lift looks good

[Airdog]

You seriously work there maybe I'll see you what do you do and what rides do you sometimes work at.
EDIT-Update tommorow if I get to building since I have two games.

[Airdog]

Sorry for the DP but...Update! I made the crest and half of the drop. I also switched lift colors. By the way theres a support missing at the bottom part of the so-far drop and thats just so you can see it better

Crest:


Halfway done drop:


Cool pic of the drop:

Comment! Be Harsh!

[Chubs33]

It looks good to me... nice shape and everything.

By the looks, it appears that it'll be finishing the pull-out 1 granite rod above the ground. If you're not going for that, then you need to extend the steeper part a little bit longer.

I wouldn't mind seeing more pics with tubing either...

[Jesperdude]

I don't like the act that when that track enters the crest, it actually pulls up a little bit, you've connected the track to the lift with small black connectors, and when it enters the crest, it's connected to a black rod.

Don't mean to be a jerk by such a long post, it's just one thing and you'll be gold.
Looking good!

[Airdog]

Sirchubs: Thanks! It means a lot coming from a experienced member.

Jesper: I'll fix the crest With black connectors or something else.

I'll hopefully get another update tonight!

[Airdog]

Sorry for the DP but... UPDATE!

Jesperdude your fixed crest.

Comment! Be harsh!
EDIT-I'm trying to build the Hammerhead today so check back every hour or so.

[SteelConviction]

I would reccomend Making the drop not as steep and making the pullout bigger.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Looks great, just add middle tubing and your golden.

-RCF

[Airdog]

Ok I really didn't want to undo anything. I also will add middle tubing once I make the Hammerhead so I don't have tubes all over my room.:tmbs

BTW I'm going to my friends house so no update until around 9:30 if there is one.

[Airdog]

CANCELLED...To little space and to little interest...Look for a new coaster in one month when I decide what will be fun to make and what will fit in my space. BTW something Special is coming
