If I have 1 Rippin' Rocket set, and am getting 2 serpent roller coasters could i make one big drop and a few twistes turns and loops like a figure 8 coaster or could i build it longer with loops and everything?

Your grammar and spelling is absolutely incorrect, so I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. If you mean, how long can my coaster be with 1 RR and 2 SS then it depends on how much non-coaster k'nex you have, to build supports etc. If this is the only k'nex you have, the longest you can get is probably a hill, drop, looping, and some twists and turns. A station will be hard because you need alot of small pieces for that, and those do not come with RR/SS.

Oh ya and i was to lazy to take a picture of my rippin rocket set. I got a few strips of orange tubing 2 from my cousins. They could only send half of there knex becuase they had so much knex. Oh ya and i bought a few other sets like the sepeant tower roller coaster and the ferris wheel.

Okay, I don't know if I was clear enough in my previous post, so I'll say it again, uppercase this time so you might understand it better: WATCH YOUR GRAMMAR + SPELLING

Now in normal english, with in bold the changes:

They could only send half of their k'nex because they had so much k'nex. Oh ya, and I bought a few other sets, like the seapent (?, so misspelled that I don't know what set you mean) tower roller coaster and the ferris wheel.

Anyway, with this amount of k'nex you can probably build a coaster with a hill, drop, looping, c-roll, crockscrew, heartline roll/0-g roll and some twists/turns.

It makes it harder for me to read though...

Anyway, with that amount of knex you can do a small box supported coaster. Don't start too big by making a 5ft lift though, keep it to 3ft or something along those lines.

3 feet is enough for a good layout. if i were you i would start at 2.5 feet. the smaller the coaster is the better it will be. i would start with a hyper it wont be to hard to mess it up unless you make a huge one.
