could i build a woodie roller coaster with just one rippin rocket set(and some other non roller coaster sets except for my renagade run) I have around 1500 pieces. I would like to build a awesome woodie but i don`t think i can. if not that do u think i could make a hyper twist roller coaster wich would be like 7 feet high? what should i do. thanks to any one who helps me

A nice 2 foot hyper is perfect for the pices you have. DO NOT START TO BIG LIKE EVRYOTHER NEW PERSON HERE!!!!

With the pieces you have I don't think you even have the pieces de finish a 7 foot lift.

Let alone a woodie...

Taylor, start small, and build segments of a coaster, i.e. a drop ending in a loop, even an original historic coney island coaster...the first American coaster was built by a railroad company, it was a one way ride, the car was brought to the top of the drop by an elevator! By building in segments, you can test designs and determine what sort (and how many) additional pieces you need. I recently built a one way coaster in my sister-in-law's living room while she and my wife were out shopping for 5 hours. Just minimum supports and lots of track from the Looping Lightning set. When they got home their first words were "My goodness how big is this thing, followed by Get that thing out of my living room!" :-).

haha nice story that`s funny. well i finished my roller coaster. it is like 2-3 foot and has 3 turns(one i stuffed up which was like a inverted turn.) one of those turns was a over banked ane. it also has one big hill and a half loop. if can upload the pictures to facebook is that ok with you guys. i only go on this site on my dsi and the dsi can only upload to facebook.

Um, I dont think you can make a lift with just one rippin rocket, the cars don't even have a chain dog! (they can't grip onto the chain) I think you should get a SS before you attempt anthing else, and never try a woodie with only one coaster set.

well you guys thought i couldn`t but i did, i made a 7-8 foot hyper that works perfectly! i used 2 boosters to get it up, but because of lack of track it could only go up the down then it goes into a over banked turn, straight and finaly another turn into the booster again. if u want pics please comment

It's not a matter of if you can do it or not, it's how well. This will defiantly be a shitty coaster...

You could put some pics up though and try to prove me wrong...

I dont have a lot of pieces either... and it is frustrating, but what you should do is save up some money and devote a few bucks of it to knex. within time you'll probly gain alot more peices.And no, dont start building big with what pieces you have, you wont finish it and you'll just have to take it down

I dont have alot of pieces either...and it is frustrating sometimes, but what you should do is save up some money and devote a few bucks to knex, and within time you'll probably have a lot more pieces. And no, dont try building big right now, you wont finish it and you'll just have to take it down
