well i think i am going to have a few trees around the

station and the turnaround....and i have an update.....i have started construction on the

supports for the ride...i will measure my room and all that good stuff then.....i will

prolly build it down stairs..then move it upstairs...where my shelf should be by the time

i finish it...then i will test it and all that good stuff..but...i have 2 trees done....supports

for the turnaround into the station....transfer tracks...brake run...station w/

brakes....predrop...and lift hill!!! it LOOKS soo good!! It

actually looks like a wooden coaster...

[sixflagsfreak56]

where i could get a tree that would look realistic with knex.....

[sixflagsfreak56]

o, well keep up the good work! it's osund

cool, can't wait!

[coasterfreak11]

well here is a construction pic of the lift

hilll......supports for the turnaround into the station....station...and the predrop....thats

about all i have done so far!

Wow, looks great, but is the shelf really going to be

able to support that?

It looks really high, I was expecting a low to the

ground out-and-back.....

Like the old Prior & Churchs.......

Or like the Blue Streak.....



Station

looks great though!

woooaaahhh thats cool. Is your ceiling that high? Or is

the shelf going to be low? I hope it works for ya, I exspected like a 1.0-2.5 foot tall

coaster.

[sixflagsfreak56]

I also expect a low traditional out and back roller

coaster, but it should be good! Matt always has something good up his sleeve.

[coasterfreak11]

well i measured where the shelf will be...about 2 ft off

the ground...and then i just ook the lift....(supports for the lift) then i put it where the

shelf would be....and it is perfect heighth...then it will turn..then i will do bunny hills

and all that stuff...so it will work...and also the shelf should be able to support the

coaster

[sixflagsfreak56]

OK cool, can't wait for more pics! LOOKS

GREAT!

[Peaches]

Nice job. keep up the good work!

[coasterfreak11]

thanks...do you guys like the station...i dont know if

you can see it very well....but i thought it was the best one i had ever

built!!

[sixflagsfreak56]

i can't really see it, but it looks good from that

angel . But other

then that it looks good. The lift hill really looks like a wodden coaster (besides the fact

it's blue).

heh, I have never heard of a two-foot high

shelf.....

Most shelves are about 5 to 6ft. off the ground....

-RCTyrant

[gforce]

Thats exactly what I was thinking, I hope you

don't bash your shin on the shelf in the middle of night. Ouch.

[coasterfreak11]

well its a shelf just for my roller coaster....but im

gonna go measure right now how high it will be off the ground...and then how high the

lift is...cuz i know the lift is as tall as i can make it..well the lift is 4 ft 1 and 1/2 inches

tall...and the shelf is going to be 2ft. 2 inches from the ground!

[sixflagsfreak56]

Yeah, don't hurt your foot. It's

precious!
