was just something I could not picture doing. The name didn't fit the ride at all.
I didn't even finish the lift.
Now, about
Ares. It will have a revalutionary (sp) "support save system." You will
just have to see the "save support system when I post pics. It will have the first
interlocking flatspins (please correct me if some one has done interlocking flatspins
before).
Layout:
1. Lift out of the station
2. Lift (about 4'
tall)
3. Drop to the left
4. Inclined Helix to the left
5. Right turn under
the lift
6. Interlocking Flatspins
7. Turn to the left
8. Stengel Dive to
the right
9. Brakes
10 . U-turn in to the station
Any Comments?

anymore.

Race Thru The Clouds had those. Anyway, your model sounds great. Can't
wait to see your support system.
Now viewable in the Screamin' Serpent gallery:

Apart from my last coaster, all of my coasters had hand-cranks. They are moreOriginally posted by CoasterCrazy@Jan 25 2004, 04:40

powerful and faster. Your coaster sounds cool but will this new support system cause
the coaster to be less sturdy then it could be by using the traditional box supports?
The layout sounds like a feat in itself and strong supports that don't shake are
the key to maintaining speed.

support on the lift. The whole coaster is going to be under support the whole time.
You culd call this a wooden coaster if you will, but only a couple of supports touch the
ground, but the whole track is under supports. Some people have done this before on
their lift but I'm doing the whole coaster.
