Hey everyone, Newbie

here and also a n00b to the Screamin Serpent!

I was wondering how

Corkscrews are made. I know exactly what they look like, how they work, and what it

feels like to ride on one.

But how would you make them in the Knex set?

Please email me at fatpizza_91@hotmail.com or reply to this Message with a site with

a Corkscrew Tutorial. I havn't explored the whole of this site yet, but Im about

to.

of track and shape it and then put the tubing on and then make suports around it and

im Da squriel i joined march 17. so if you need any help just ask.

Don't you mean

CoasterGuy27's website? Cause I know he has a very good tutorial on how to

make one. I just checked Platinum Coaster's website and he on;y has the

tutorial to make those super cool brakes.

Hey stupid, which one? ALso, many

coaster have good corkscrews, i recommend just looking around the gallery for a while

until you see one you really like.

[ThEoNe]

^this person really needs a ban^

[Lanceshield]

Huh, I don't get it. Did he edit his post cause I

don't really see anything wrong with it?

[ThEoNe]

Go take a look at other recent posts made by

shockwaver, he's really up on top pf squriel now for no reason, and there's

nothing wrong with calling someone stupid?

[coasterguy]

i dont think there is anything ban worthy about his post,

bu that s up to the mods here. i dont think it was necessary to call him stupid though.

[ThEoNe]

I just told you it is not only this post, pay attention

[coasterguy]

im sorry, i realize now you said "his recent

posts", must have missed that in your post, my mistake. it isnt just him though,

there are others that constantly put down squriel. i really think this whole feud

between squriel and like everyone can be stopped if we just either ignore squriel when

he says something that isnt that smart or not put him down all the time since he will

only fight back. we should just let him know (in a kind way) that what he said wasnt

the best so he can know not to do it in the future.

anyway, im glad you

guys like my corkscrew, and there are a lot of coasters with good corkscrews on

them. im not sure what brian folland coaster squriel is talking about, though.

[ThEoNe]

The key to success in this squriel feud is to just leave

him alone and let him say whatever he does. If we normal people make the comments

we do in return to what he says, it makes us losers too by being part of the arguement.

From now on everybody just leave squirel alone and ull see the diff. Ya your

corkscrews are awesome coasterguy27 keep up the good work and I hope for more

tutorials from you.

i totally agree, we should just stop knocking squriel every chance we get.


i may make a another tutorial tonight or some time soon. what kinda

stuff would you like to see? i was thinking maybe a barrel roll hill like on kumba, or

just a larger version of one of the other inversions i already have. any ideas??

[GregM]

i totally

agree, we should just stop knocking squriel every chance we

get.

I also agree with this.



And for some

really good corkscrews, check out coasterguy27's Corkscrew recreation and his

Vortex model (I think that's the one with interlocked corkscrews.) There are

other great examples out there, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my

head.

[Da Squriel]

BRIAIN follandIs a great member he made the first

and gretest cork screw and he made a 14 foot tall lift coaster that was mom he is a

great memeber and i belive he has the best corkscrew.

[coasterguy]

im not gonna argue with you squriel, but what coaster

are you talking about???? i know its by brian folland, but he did more than 1.
