SOLIDIFY

Solidify is the latest creation from SFGAMG Inc. and will feature...

Lol FAKE. But anyways, this is Solidify. If you have a cooler name, please say so. This woodie is going to be an out-and-back kind, with a pullout after the drop into a hill, Renegade-style turnaround, and a bunch more bunny hills after that.

Please comment! And NO THIS IS NOT MY WINTER CONTEST ENTRY. Just putting that out there.

[knexems]

-crest is too small
-gears are too low
-pull-out will be too small
-can't tell actual shape without track

There's more, but I too tired to post your mistakes.

[~G3n3rOo2256~]

OMG OMG THIS IS SWEEEET!!!!!!


jk

its ok good so far

[metallicais1337]

Thanks for the quick comments guys!

knexems: I'll fix the gears and pullout, but do you want me to get a side view of the crest? Because in all honesty, it's really not small at all in comparison to the train.


Probably won't be able to build/post pics until tomorrow, but... yeah.

[knexems]

Are you saying that the bigger the train, the bigger the crest? If so, that's wrong.

[metallicais1337]

^No, I'm saying that a person can tell (or at least I can) whether the crest is too big or too small in comparison to the size of the SS car. For me, a good sized crest is about the length of 2 SS cars and the height of 1.

[knexems]

^You can't really go by that because every knex roller coaster part is out of proportion, but I see what you mean.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

^^ The size of your crest depends only on the size of your lift/drop, and what type of coaster it is. Since you're going from a 45* to a steep drop, it needs to be bigger.

Put track on it too before you update please!

[metallicais1337]

^Oh, now I see what you're saying. So, yeah, I guess I'll fix the crest too. And tubing. Do you think that triple-tracking it will make it smoother?

[knexems]

It will make it stronger and look better, I know that.

[metallicais1337]

Yeah, but does it make it smoother? People have told me that it makes it looks smoother, but...

[knexems]

What's it's going to do to you if you just try something before asking us? Just use it, okay?

[metallicais1337]

^Geez, don't have such an attitude. I was just wondering if I needed it so that I didn't have to cut up my tubing.

Well, this morning I did some work a.k.a:

-fixed crest
-moved motor/gears
-put on tubing
-put on 5-car train
-made a good sized pullout, doesn't shake
-fixed drop, had some straight parts

But no pics until later today

[MP thrill rides]

Putting in middle tubing will
1. Make it look better
2.Make it stronger.
3.Make it smoother.

Thanks for fixing everything but we could use some pics.

[Britfag]

Pics of the pullout pl0x?

That'd be nice..

[knexems]

Good, sounds like you covered everything we told you.

[christian]

Well, I can't completely trust you until we get some pics...

-MIBB)

[metallicais1337]

Ok, pics coming in like 5 minutes when I'm actually in the mood to hold up my computer and get a goo, unblurry photo (I use Photo Booth for my pics). I've done a lot of things:

-made a hill after the drop, turn after the hill, bunny hill after the turn.
-lubed the track
-yeah.

[SwimZONE]

Why don't you just take photos with a normal camera...

[knexems]

^He probably doesn't have one or he doesn't want to take that time to transfer them from a camera to the computer.
