as some of you know my 9 footer crashed down and i have stopped working on it. so now i am making a new recreation, Ninja at SFSL. i am still planning how big i should make the lift and first 2 inversions etc. plus i havent been able to find a clear picture of the final part of the track after the 2 corkscrews. if anyone has a pic of it please share it with me, it would be very helpful. i want to start on it tonite but with school i am limited to what i can do.

-any suggestions for how big i should make it (i have 2 ss, 2 rr and an original coaster) or if you have any photos showing the final section of the coaster please post it :D

The way some people find fault, you'd think there was some kind of reward.

Sounds cool! I'm sorry about your other coaster. If the coaster makes it all the way through, then it will be awsome! Great idea too!

Hooo Boy, I have rode that coaster well over 100

times.....

I can't find a picture, but.... After the two corks, it goes up

and takes a right turn under the lift and into a really intense helix that is VERY low to

the ground, and then its a rough turn up into the brakes.....

I really hope to

see this coaster, not one of my faves, but one of my home coasters so to

say..........

i didnt get to start on the coaster mostly because i was

cleaning up my other one and am still figuring out this layout. i took a screen of a

recreation on nolimits. let me know if it looks acurate.

edit: i now know

have some good photos of the final section due to some help from coasterbuzz.

construction will begin soon in the next few days!

Yes, that looks fairly accurate. I have ridden this

coaster well over 10 times and it still gives me a headache every once in a while!

Rumors are that SFSTL will be getting rid of it to

replace with a new coaster.....

I think that seeing all of the Ninja

merchandise on sale during that last week of the season kinda supports it.....
